Re: [expert] CUPS printers with Samba
Our printserver runs cups and samba. Once cups was working, restarting samba then loaded all the printers available on the network without any trouble. Of course I had to edit the print command for "raw" and "-r" (remove) Buchan Stephen Carville wrote: > > I just installed a Brother HL-1240 (very nice printer BTW) on my Linux box > and I want it to be sharable with my wife's NT computer.

RE: [expert] CUPS printers with Samba
I too had similiar trouble with Samba and CUPS after a new 7.2 installation. I found that I had to REMOVE all of the 7.2 cups RPMS (-e command) then install all of the updated RPMs. This fixed all my CUPS-Samba printing trouble. -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Stephen Carville Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2001 6:08 PM To: Mandrake Expert Subject: [expert] CUPS printers with Samba I just installed a Brother HL-1240 (very nice printer BTW) on my Linux box and I want it to be sharable with my wife's NT computer.

Re: [expert] CUPS printers with Samba
Solving my own problem. I had to explicitly define the print command and printer queue in the smb.conf file: [HL-1240] path = /var/spool/samba browseable = yes guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes create mode = 0700 print command = lpr-cups -P lp -o raw %s lprm command = cancel %p-%j It works now...
