Can't print over network after upgrade to Slack 12.1

CartersAdvocate · 07-01-2008, 12:48 PM

I recently upgraded from Slackware 12.0 to 12.1 and when I did, my printing (through CUPS) stopped working. I upgraded Gutenprint manually, and now I can print locally, but my printing over the network through Samba isn't working. I can see the printer from my wife's Windows computer, and I can add it, but it says "Access denied, unable to connect" in the Printers window, and it will not print to it.

My firewall rules didn't change, my smb.conf didn't change, and I've made sure that it's shared in CUPS. Is there something else that changed between 12.0 and 12.1 that would cause this?

Update: I can connect to a shared folder just fine, so it looks like the problem is either with CUPS or the printer section of my smb.conf file (not sure what would have changed, but can't think of what else it could be).

Here is my printers section of smb.conf:

Code:

# NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to
# specifically define each individual printer
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
printable = yes
use client driver = yes

and here is my /etc/cups/printers.conf:

Code:

# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.3.7
# Written by cupsd on 2008-07-01 00:53
<DefaultPrinter Epson>
Info Epson
DeviceURI usb://EPSON/Stylus%20Photo%20R300

OpPolicy default
ErrorPolicy stop-printer
</Printer>

and finally, my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (although I think it's just default):

Code:

LogLevel info

Thanks in advance if anyone notices anything that I have wrong.
