[WBEL-users] cups / samba printing issues

[Nigel Kendrick]

I had a problem printing FROM Win2K via Cups TO a linux-hosted printer
that was solved by the following - it relates to whether Cups processes
all forms of raw job properly - I don't know whether it applies to jobs
outbound from a Linux server but it might be worth a try:

vi /etc/cups/mime.convs and uncomment the line: application/octet-stream
application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -

vi /etc/cups/mime.types and uncomment the line: application/octet-stream

Good evening.

I'm having some problems getting networked printing working.  I have a 
computer running Windows XP Professional, with a shared HP DeskJet 
3520.  The printer is shared (wide-open, always available), and the 
computer is part of the SUMMERS workgroup.

On my WBEL box, I'm using the hpijs driver, using it as an HP DeskJet 
3420 model (which is, what I gathered from 'net research, what you're 
supposed to do).  I've configured the appropriate machine, share, 
workgroup, user, and password settings within cups.  Once I complete the

configuration, I click the menu item to print a cups test page.  On the 
WXP box, I see the job (3.70 MB, completely spooled), but it hangs on 
the first 64 KB chunk it tries to send to the printer.

This printer works locally on the WXP box, and when I boot my WBEL box 
to WXP, it works networked as well.  It seems like there's no permission

problem, but that maybe the job is being created in a way that the 
printer doesn't understand.  Does anyone have any ideas on what I might 
have misconfigured?
