Hello!
we are using cups 1.0.4 and samba 2.0.6 here.
cups is a really good printing system.
(at we use printing = cups at smb.conf)
windows client can print correctly, but they can not see
queue status.
the print manager of windows allways shows blank.
how to solve this problem?
Any body got success to let windows client see the
queue of the server ??
thanks for help ....
PS: our samba server connect 5 printers. all are network printers.
2 jetdirect (use port 9100) 3 lpd network printers (use port 515)
so i don't know if local printers works or not....
i install cups first(with binary) , then samba(rebuild the source
rpm or
compile from souce..)
i think the step is correct...
i turn on the debug level of samba. and i can see some information
like
this : (i print the win95 testprinter page from windows client)
[2000/01/10 13:42:33, 6] printing/printing.c:get_printqueue(1041)
QUEUE2: 1st 50 nobody 12 PrinterTestPage 258048
bytes
so i think samba can find the queue status. but it can not
transfer the status to windows client ....
any solutions ?
Best Regards,
Tbsky
