Samba set up, works CUPS 9/10's works

[erichbf]

I have Samba running, and using Yast under SuSE 11.1 am publishing printers.

The windows clients see both of the printers, and seems to print.

The browsing to the CUPS adminsitration page I see the jobs are being received, and the CUPS page says they print.

But nothing actually prints...?

Here is one entry from a supposedly printed job:

samsungml2010-67 smbprn.00000001 download: OpenOffice.org -t... anna 142k 1 completed at
Tue 29 Sep 2009 09:46:06 PM CDT

Any pointers very appreciated. (yes I have read Printer Sharing: Samba Print Server for Suse/openSUSE Linux & Windows Clients)

Thanks!

Try backing up the cupsd.conf (so you can get it back if this doesn't help) and try changing this:

# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
Allow @IF(eth0)
Allow @LOCAL
Order allow,deny
Allow 127.0.0.2
</Location>

to this

# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 127.0.0.2
#Allow From @LOCAL
Allow From *
</Location>

or better yet to this:

# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 127.0.0.2
#Allow From @LOCAL
Allow From kkk.mmm.nnn.* <== use your IP net instead of this
</Location>

and perhaps change this:

# Only listen for connections from the local machine.
Listen *:631
Listen localhost:631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock

to this

# Only listen for connections from the local machine.
# Listen localhost:631
# Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
port 631

And maybe make sure the [global] stanza in smb.conf contains these lines:

printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printcap cache time = 750
cups options = raw
load printers = yes
use client driver = yes

note the last line.

I know you CAN make this work... but I just want to suggest also
as something to consider... the fact that (shhh!!) Windows can print
using IPP protocol.

Certainly something that Redmond doesn't like to advertise, but
it is there... something else to consider.
