Hi,
First of all, thanks for all the replies that I got a couple of weeks
ago about another question; it really helped me understanding the issue.
Now I'm installing a printer on my Linux server (RH 7.3 with Samba
2.2.6); I can print from my Linux computer, and even see the printer
from my XP computer, but I can't print from XP.
Here's my smb.conf:
[global]
netbios name = Maggie
security = share
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
[public]
path = /usr/public
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
[printers]
comment = Brother HL-1650
security = share
path = /var/spool/lpd/Brother_HL-1650
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
use client driver = yes
Like I said, from the Linux server, everything is OK and I can print.
When I go to my XP computer, and I click "Add a printer", XP can find my
printer by browsing the network, and the installation is without any
glitches. I can see the printer properties but when I try to print the
test page, I got an error message: "Test page failed to print.". If I
try to print from WordPad, it says that it's printing for a fraction of
a second, but then says also "Unable to print".
Thanks in advance!
