Hi All
I am trying to setup CUPS on Linux Box with a purpose so as i would be able
to see Printer usage by each user in terms of number of printouts. I setup
HP2300 printer and placed its ppd file in drivers folder.
1. I installed it through samba by saying "printcap name = cups" and
"printing = cups" and i was able to view it in shares list from windows
terminal and was able to successfully install and shot printouts from
windows terminal. But when i check up the page_log it shows me nobody as
user and no IP Address/Host name of remote machine.
2. I tried installing it using http://ip_address:631/printer/myprniter, it
got installed and i was able to see desired log information. But this way of
installation(by mean of internet/intranet printer) is happening on few
machine. And is throwing error on few machines. where all the machines are
Windows 2000 prof.
I am using samba-2.2.5-10,cups-libs-1.1.15-10,
cups-drivers-hpijs-1.9-1.20020617.6, cups-devel-1.1.15-10,
cups-drivers-pnm2ppa-1.9-1.20020617.6, cups-1.1.15-10 on RHL 8.0
Any Pointers??
Thanks in advance!!!
