I have a probleme with printing from windows-Machines to Printers connect at
different Linux-boxes.
I have a cups-server vor the network printer and different cups-server for
printers connectet directly to linux boxes ( thin-clients). The samba-Server
(3.0.24-6etch10) is at a different Machine like the cups-server. The
smb.conf for printing is:
-- snip--
cups server = cups-v1.mydomain.local
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
create mode = 0700
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
read only = yes
guest ok = no
write list = root, @cupsadmin
the cupsd.conf at the cupsserver (1.3.2-1ubuntu7.7):
-- snip--
# Allow remote access
Port 631
#Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
# Enable printer sharing and shared printers.
Browsing On
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow @LOCAL
BrowseAddress @LOCAL

</Limit>
</Policy>
Printcap /etc/printcap
The cupsd.conf at the thin-client has the same settings.
At the client is cups 1.2.7-4etch3 installed.
The /etc/cups/client.conf is no set at all machines.
The error i will see is for printing to a a Printer connectet to a other
linux-box:
