Hello, can anyone help me with this one.....?
I have a Linux PC with SuSE 8.2 and a Samsung ML1210 printer. I can print to
this via CUPS from another Linux PC. I have installed the Windows driver
for the ML1210 on a Win98 PC but cannot print to the Samsung.
The Win98 box can see the Linux box, its shared folders and the printer.
However, when I try to print from Win98 nothing happens.
I guess it may be that the path to the printer is wrong, but I don't know
how to correct it.
lpq shows no pending jobs, so the print jobs sent from the Win98 PC go
somewhere else.
The cups error message is as follows:
=====================================
...from /var/log/cups/error_log
E [16/Oct/2003:01:00:18 +0200] print_job: Unsupported format
'application/octet-stream'!
I [16/Oct/2003:01:00:18 +0200] Hint: Do you have the raw file printing rules
enabled?
So,
I uncommented the raw filter in the mime.convs and in the mime.type config
files in /etc/cups/
This has made no difference.
