Product: samba-server Component: program Summary: Printing from Windows PC to CUPS printer stopped working Version: 2.2.7a-1mdk Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: critical Priority: P2 AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Printing from a Windows 98 PC to a CUPS printer (an Epson C80), stopped working just recently. When I attempt the operation, nothing happens and the /var/log/cups/error_log file contains the following: ######### START LOG EXCERPT ######### I [11/Nov/2002:21:28:18 -0500] Job 98 queued on 'EpsonC80' by 'julio'.

E [11/Nov/2002:21:30:02 -0500] get_jobs: resource name '/printers/pdf-generator' no good! ######### END LOG EXCERPT ######### I am unable to find where is the 'get_printer_attrs', 'get_jobs', or the '/printers/pdf-generator' mentioned in the CUPS log. Recent administration: upgrade of both cups (printer-utils, printer-filters, etc) and Samba (samba-swat, samba-server, damba-common, etc), per security advisories. ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-11-12 04:32 ------- Printing from within other Linux hosts in the network, or from the machine to which the printer is attached, works normally. ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-11-13 14:26 ------- It could be this bug has to do with some internal problem in Samba. The giveaway words here are "resource" and "pdf-generator". If that was true, then the failure scenario that creates the errors reported could evolve like this 1. Function get_printer_attrs() fails to find the attributes for original printer I requested (probably something to do with the pathname. Not finding a printer, the pdf-generator is used as a fallback. 2. Function get_jobs() is failing in a similar manner. ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-11-13 14:28 ------- Mozilla does not allow me to put the correct version of Samba components: samba-swat-2.2.6-4.1mdk samba-client-2.2.6-4.1mdk samba-doc-2.2.6-4.1mdk samba-server-2.2.6-4.1mdk samba-common-2.2.6-4.1mdk ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
