adding printer via CUPS and SAMBA
Hi guys,,
sorry if theres a similar thread like this but i really cant find what in looking for,, so i experiment some steps..
1) #lpinfo -v
then i saw my printer in "usb:/"
2) #lpadmin -p Dell -v usb:/Dell/Laser%20Printer%201100?serial=BN45W71 -m /etc/cups/ppd/1100.ppd
but i got an error "Unable to copy PPD"
so i try adding ".gz" at the end:
3) #lpadmin -p Dell -v usb:/Dell/Laser%20Printer%201100?serial=BN45W71 -m /etc/cups/ppd/1100.ppd.gz
still i got the error "Unable to copy PPD"
but when i hit "lpstat -t" i got:
scheduler is running
device for Dell: usb:/Dell/Laser%20Printer%201100?serial=BN45W71
Dell accepting request since Fri 14 Sep 2012 06:03:35
and when i check the network to see my printer, its there, so i try connecting now to my windows machine, it somehow connect but it does not have a driver so i provide it separately, after that, i got an error "Windows could not connect to the printer. Check the printer name and try again........"
is there something that im missing here?? kindly help..
