Dear List,
I fail to set up SMB printers on my FC6 box.
system-config-printer seems to add the printer well, and reports that the
printer is accessible.
I can connect and print to the remote printer with smbclient and with
/usr/lib/cups/backend/smb. I can send jobs to cups with lpr.
But something on the middle does not work: cupsd does not seem to execute the
backend, and the job stalls forever.
Any ideas where is my problem or how I can debug this?
All I learned from stracing cupsd is that it does not exec the smb backend (I
don't know whether it should).
I had a similar problem, and it turned out that foomatic crashes the
printer drivers every time cups wishes to start actually do something
with the job (that is not a queue).
Look at /tmp/ and see if you have a foomatic.error or something like that.
BTW, the only way I could resolve the issue, is to stop using foomatic.
Thanks,
