Does a listing for a samba share show up in the drop down list for printer URIs in the web interface?
If not restart both samba and cups and try again - if it still isn't there, give us more info about your system (versions of packages) Also check that you have suitable users (and passwords) set up in samba ... try connecting to the Win machine with smbclient (read the man page but I like smbclient -L win_name to list the shares) Kevin Lawton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote*: > >Ron, >We've got almost the same problem as you had, and its driving us crazy ! >We're trying to migrate a Windows Me network over to Rh 8.0 and just can't >print from a Linux box to a Windows printer. >Would you be able to give us any pointers to succeeding with this, please ? >I can't say we're finding the CUPS docs too useful in this area - maybe we >haven't got all the doc that you've seen.
