HP PSC1400 not printing via Samba on FC5
I have printer set up, I go to test print a page I see it in my XP printer spool queue saying it's spooling and printing, here printer movement but nothing prints.... what would cause this and how do I fix this, please? I appreciate any help.
Oh, on my FC5 machine, it also says successfully printed. |
Not sure if related but are do you have selinux active? If so disable it and try again.

Hi Brian, it is already disabled. Thanks for responding.
|
Kind of at a lost based on your other related post. If I get a brainstorm of an idea I will post. Never really setup printing to a Windows printer, perfer printing to network or Linux printers. Might give it a try. Current HP 3310 is setup on the network. Should have time over the Holiday Weekend.

That would be great, Brian. Thanks for taken the time an effort for doing this as it is much appreciated.
|
If someone else can offer an answer as well it is much appreciated as well.

Ok got off of work early today and had some time to experiment. Here is my setup.
I have Win2000 Pro machine. The HP driver for my All-in_one 3310 was already installed and point to the network connection of the printer. Did a test page and it printed. Just to be like yours I plugged it directly into the USB port and reset the configuration. Did a test page and it printed. So it is a now USB connected only. Now I set the sharing up and the share name to HP3310. I keep netbios names as simply as possible. No spaces, odd characters, or longer than eight characters. Code:
1. Went to the Centos machine and went into my cups from the web browser. http://localhost:631 So lets make sure things are setup correctly. Code:
10. On the windows side you have the printer installed and connected to a USB port? Code:
15. Installed the HPLIP driver package. Code:
21. Setup samba workgroup. Code:
Optional Info on setting up /etc/hosts file if you wish. |
Brian, I have a question for you. I am at step 21 and you say setup samba workgroup with a ? mark...are you saying I need to do that? If so, do I do that with the next step? If so, when I type it I receive the following errror "permission denied" I am logged on as root as well. Any idea why?
|
Wrong puncutition. I will correct. Just need to set the workgroup name in the samba config to match the windows workgroup name. Normal Windows default network group name is workgroup.
Brian |
Are you saying you had the wrong command/syntax?
|
Brian, What am I suppose to see when I type
smbclient -L computer_name -U username Can you show me the output on what it is suppose to look like the way mine is suppose to look please? TIA |
Here is an example of my shares on my notebook.
Code:
[crusher58@lcomp58 ~]$ smbclient -L comp158 -U crusher158 |
brian, Is comp158 the name of your windows machine or linux?
If it is your windows machine, when I type the same command I see neither a workgroup or master underneath those entries which I assume I should. How do I fix this, please? |
comp158 is a linux machine.
Here is one from one of the Window Machines Code:
[crusher58@lcomp58 ~]$ smbclient -L comp115 -U crusher115 |
here's what mine looks like but I still can't print to it. Can you please take a look to see if something looks wrong?
Code:
Domain=[LARRY] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] |
Looks fine to me.
Brian |
Any ideas as to why my printer won't print?
|
No idea as long as both Windows and Linux has the latest Driver installed. Window is sharing to all. And cups is configured to point to the windows share using the HPLIP driver that was installed. Other than that I am not sure what is missing.
Have you connected the printer to linux to see if it will print? If not do that and see if it does. If it doesn't then the resdies on the linux machine. Check the requirements for the HPLIP driver and verify you have them. Brian |
