Hi All,
I have gained my basic Linux / Samba knowledge from using SME server (www.contribs.org)
More recently I have started to use Trustix Linux to build servers for specific things for example as a print server.
I installed Trustix and the most recent Cups/Samba rpm's from the repository (I am pretty sure they are the latest stable releases) but I can check version numbers if this helps.
I am going to desrcribe symptoms that may (hopefully) have been encountered by others on the list.
I installed Samba and created a very basic (based on the doc "Stand-Alone Servers") single folder share and added a printer using cups.
I have the following scenario ;
I have a 20 x XP SP1 PC's and a MSB 2K PDC I am trying to create a print server I have built it and installed Cups/Samba I can see the machine, printer and folder share in nethood I can copy files from any PC to the folder share I can view printer in the cups webmin I can control and print test pages from cups webmin I can run swat webmin and check my v basic config I can "Add Printer" as usual using XP drivers The printer shows as 'Ready' in printers & faxes As soon as (instantly) I click print I get a dialogue saying 'Cant print, unable to create document' At no time do I see a print job appear in the queue using cups webmin
I have googled until I am dizzy on this. Whats annoying is that it all looks like its going to work apart from the very last thing (the most important bit) i.e. Actually doing the job.
I admit I have limited knowledge and dont mind being told to RTFM (if you could include links to the relevent sections:) When I read the Samba docs on basic printing using cups I was really pleased (I didnt want to spend 3 months studying docs just to get a simple printer server working:)
Any help would be really appreciated (Paypal available:)
Thanks (I have a just a few hairs left!!)
