Trying to set up a box running LM7.2 as a print server for a couple of win98
machines.
Currently i have samba set up correctly as far as i can tell. All the
machines can see each other and talk to each other fine. On the windows
machines i can open up network neighborhood and see the linux box. Open up
the linux box and i can see the shared files and read and write to them
perfectly. Now the problem...
I see two printers, one named "lp" and the other named "printers" but there
is only one printer attached to the linux box. A HP DeskJet 722c. Under
LM7.1 without CUPS i only saw one printer and just set up the windows
machines to print to it and all was good in the world.
Now i have tried to print to both of the printers that samba is showing and
havent been able to get anything to come out of the printer but i am fairly
certain that the print jobs are being sent to the linux box. Reasons i think
this are that all the network lights blink like they did when a print job
was being sent under 7.1 and tcpdump is showing that the linux box is
receiving packets from the win98 box that is sending the job.
So i am fairly certain that windows is sending out the print job and that
the linux box is receiving it but nothing is getting printed. Any one have
any ideas about what i need to do to solve this one?
Thanks in advance,
Ian K. Harrell
