I need some help getting printing to work from my gentoo machine to an HP 7410xi (one of those multi-function jobs).
No one is responding to a similar query on the cups list. So bringing it here although it may be a little off topic. The printer works from windows but not from gentoo through cups. What is kind of baffling me is that the logs don't really show a clear error and in fact appear to be saying that the print job was successful, but nothing comes out of the printer. My /etc/cups/printers.conf uses an smb:// addressing (xx'ed out in this post): <DefaultPrinter chub-print> Info chub-print Location chub DeviceURI smb://reader:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/chub-print) State Stopped StateMessage /usr/libexec/cups/backend/smb failed StateTime 1157936264 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> Log level in cupsd.conf is set to debug ... here is the error_log output from one print attempt where user reader calls: lp file request id is chub-print-18 (1 file(s)) The only thing that looks like it might indicate an error is the line saying: cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided. 28 lines from error_log produced by above print attempt: =================================== D [13/Sep/2006:11:53:26 -0500] cupsdAcceptClient: 5 from localhost:631 (IPv4) D [13/Sep/2006:11:53:26 -0500] cupsdReadClient: 5 POST / HTTP/1.1 D [13/Sep/2006:11:53:26 -0500] cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided.
