I've got a Slackware 8.1 server at home which is running terrific as a file server. I can print on it locally, connect to the printer from a Win2000 and XP box, but I cannot print to it. The Windows clients think everything's fine, but CUPS doesn't receive the job. I can see the printer just fine. Here is my printer config in the smb.conf file:
it's obviously just something wrong in my configuration. It works beautifully in Mandrake 9. I've even copied over the printing config from Mandrake's smb.conf to my Slackware smb.conf, but it hasn't changed anything.
edit: I'm also running Samba 2.2.7 (latest I think)
I've updated CUPS to v1.1.18, and espgs to 7.05.5, but I get the same results. Windows clients show printing was fine, but CUPS on the server doesn't recognize any jobs being performed. I can even see the network activity for the print job, but for some reason CUPS isn't receiving the job.
