I have a small network with 3 computers, 2 with windows xp and one
with Debian. My plan is to use the debian box as a printer server
amongst other things.
I have successfully installed the printer with the cusp web interface,
and it prints like it should from the linux box. I have also
successfully installed samba, I can access files from on the debian
box from the xp ones.
I have tried two approaches to printing from the xp boxes. First I
connected directly to the printer via url:
http://debianbox:631/printers/debianprinter. Windows signals the
printer as ready, but when I try to print, nothing happens, and this
is reported in the error log:
E [23/Jun/2004:19:30:05 +0200] get_printer_attrs: resource name
'/printers/lp' no good!
E [23/Jun/2004:19:30:05 +0200] get_jobs: resource name '/printers/lp'
no good!
The same thing applys to printing with samba, i succesfully add the
printer in SWAT, and get a ready signal from it in xp, but when I
print nothing happens. I don't have a clue on how to get this to work.
I've looked at various documentation and discussions, but to no use...
Anyone know what the problem is?
