I'm using Ubuntu 5.10 on one machine and Windows XP on the other. On
the Windows machine I shared my printer. The name of my workgroup is
HOME, the name of my computer is UPSTAIRS, and the name of my printer is
Deskjet. I can print from the Windows box.
I issued this command:
$ lpadmin -p Deskjet -E -v smb://me:mypassword@HOME/UPSTAIRS/Deskjet -D
"Upstairs printer"
My smb.conf says:
[global]
workgroup = HOME
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
[share]
encrypt passwords = yes
path = /opt/samba
read only = no
guest ok = yes
oplocks = no
[Deskjet]
printing = CUPS
printable = yes
printer = Deskjet
I restarted CUPS:
$ /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
$ ll /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jan 6 2006 /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb ->
../../../bin/smbspool
To print I enter this command:
$ lpr -P Deskjet testfile
From my windows machine I can see the job in my print queue with the
name "Remote Downlevel Document". However, the printer is not printing.
