I'm new to these forums, and reletively new to Linux - so hello.
I currently have SuSE 9.2 installed and I'm trying to get my printer on that box shared to my Windows PC. I've configured Samba (file sharing is working fine), but I can't manage to get printing working. I've looked in /var/log/messages and find this:
May 12 18:26:37 linux smbd[3702]: [2005/05/12 18:26:36, 0] printing/pcap.c: pcap_printer_fn(361)
May 12 18:26:37 linux smbd[3702]: Unable to open printcap file /etc/printcaps for read!
If I look in /etc/printercap it correctly finds my printer (deskjet720c) and I can print from the command line no problem (lp <filename>). However, I am unable to print from Windows even though it appears Windows setups up and installs the correct printer driver.
Any ideas?
From smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = HOME
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = /etc/printcap
printcap cache time = 750
cups options = raw
printer admin = @ntadmin, root, administrator
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
map to guest = Bad User
include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
logon drive = P:
...and
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/tmp
printable = Yes
browseable = no
guest ok = Yes
public = yes
writable = no
printer admin = root
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
# write list = @ntadmin root
# force group = ntadmin
# create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
read only = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
Any ideas?
Thanks.
