I have a Fedora 17 Linux box and a HP Laser Jet Professional P1102
attached via USB cable. I can send print job to this printer from the Linux box and it works fine. I use CUPS system for printing. I have another computer
laptop that has Windows 7 as the operating system and I like to share
files and printer that is attached to this Linux box. Therefore, I
decided to install Samba version 3.6.12-1 and set the file and printer
sharing as it is recommended by the following site:
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html
When I go to my PC I can see the hp laser jet printer Icon in the Network window. I set this hp laser jet as my default printer. I tried to print a file from Microsoft Words but nothing comes out of the server printer.
In the following I have the section of the Samba and smb.conf
====== Global Settings =======
workgroup = workgroup
server string = Samba Server Version %v
hosts allow = 127. 192.168.1.
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
===== Standalone Server Options====
security = share
==== Printing Options===
cups options = raw
===Share Definitions===
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
valid users = %S
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = yes
writable = no
use client driver = yes
printable = yes
[allusers]
comment = All Users
path = /home/shares/allusers
valid users = Rayman
force group = users
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0771
writable = yes
; browseable = yes
The result of testparm is:
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

Please let me know what I am missing that nothing gets printed.
sincerely,
Ray
