Unhappy Can't print to network printer


Running Redhat 9 and using Samba.

I set up my network using Samba and both the network and local printers using the printer GUI in Redhat. I had to set up the printers manually by specifying the ip address, share etc.. rather then them being located by the GUI in the set up process.

When I send a print job to a remote smb printer, nother happens. The print que indicates the job is "printing" to the network printer but no output. I get NO error messages but then again I get NO output either!

How do I diagnois this issue? Interesting, I phsyically connected the same HP printer to a local port and no problems printing on the local machine.

Thanks,

Have a look at chapter 10 on the following link.

This helped me get my printer going.
