I've got Samba 1/2 working, Please help with Printing

[bobcal2000]

Sorry for the confusion: I'll start again.

Here is the error I'm getting in the CUPS Admin printer tab:

hpofficejetk80xi (Default Printer) "NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote spool Test Page"
Description: HP OfficeJet K80xi with driver HP Officejet k80xi Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.7.3
Location: Office
Printer Driver: HP OfficeJet K80xi - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.2
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: smb://VMWWG/192.168.0.10/hpofficejetk80xi

I changed the Device URI to this format:

smb://usernameassword@workgroup/servername/printer

My question has do I use "root" for username and its password?


I tried root and its password twice. It removes the username and password in the URI
smb://VMWWG/192.168.0.10/hpofficejetk80xi

Is this okay? Should I be using a different username and password?

[swerdna]

smb://VMWWG/192.168.0.10/hpofficejetk80xi

That syntax is OK, provided the server on IP 192.168.0.10 is set to allow guests.

When you sit at the keyboard of the machine 192.168.0.10 and put this address in the web browser http://localhost:631 and click the Printers Tab, what URI do you see? (it will be different from the URI above, don't worry about that).

And what happens when you click to print a test page?

[bobcal2000]

How do I know if the server is set to allow guests?

Sitting at the keyboard of the machine 192.168.0.10 and putting this address in the web browser http://localhost:631 and click the Printers Tab. This is the URI I see. That is were I got the URI to paste into the last post. Then I Modify the printer I choice Device: Windows Printer via SAMBA and enter the Device URI in the format of:

smb://root:rootpassword@VMWWG/192.168.0.10/hpofficejetk80xi

But it does not show the username and password in the printer tab, it removes the username and password.

If I "Print Test Page" the job shows up in the Jobs tab as "held since ..." if I release the job, it goes "processing since" for a minute and then back to "held since"

I still have the error "NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote spool Test on the Printers tab.

Reading some troubleshooting HowTos of CUPS:

I added root to SAMBA using smbpasswd and the error is gone. I Canceled the jobs in the queue and then I tried another Print Test Page. No jon appeared in the jobs folder this time. But nothing printed.

There seems to be some confusion as to what is the server and what is a client, and which URI should be used on the server and which URI should be used on a client.

The printer is physically attached to the server. The URI as viewed from localhost:631 on the server should be the direct physical queue address, not a network address. It should be something like usb://queuename/. It can never be an address starting with smb://

The client is a remote computer. Clients have addresses starting with smb://

To add root to the samba user database is catastrophic. You should remove it.

You are jumping from place to place without pausing long enough to follow the diagnostic path I'm trying to put out for you.

[swerdna]

Please do this:

The machine where the printer is attached. What operating system is it running? If it's Linux, can you sit at the keyboard, open a text file and print the text file to the attached printer?

A little more information: From a Windows client. The firewall on Host-OS (the SAMBA Server - 192-168.0.10) is turned off. ICMP works and the file share still works.

I have played around with several settings and now the jobs are showing complete in CUPS admin. They are just not printing. Everything says the printer is working except it don't print!

I can't help unless you supply the info I need to help you. Perhaps someone else can.
