here is some back ground....
gateway:~# /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp
direct hp:/usb/HP_Color_LaserJet_1600?serial=JV13Z20 "HP Color LaserJet 1600" "HP Color LaserJet 1600 USB JV13Z20 HPLIP" "MFG:HP;MDL:HP Color LaserJet 1600;CLS:PRINTER;DES:HP Color LaserJet 1600;SN:JV13Z20;"
direct hp:/usb/DeskJet_990C?serial=ES0C11C1RNLG "HP DeskJet 990C" "HP DeskJet 990C USB ES0C11C1RNLG HPLIP" "MFG:HP;MDL:DeskJet 990C;CLS:PRINTER;DES:DeskJet 990C;SN:ES0C11C1RNLG;"
direct hp:/usb/Deskjet_D1300_series?serial=TH659129FW04ND "HP Deskjet D1300 series" "HP Deskjet D1300 series USB TH659129FW04ND HPLIP" "MFG:HP;MDL:Deskjet D1300 series;CLS:PRINTER;DES:Deskjet D1300 series;SN:TH659129FW04ND;"
This says to me that cups find the printers ok and I can print test pages from my gateway fine
gateway:~# hp-probe

Found 2 printer(s) on the 'usb' bus.
This says to me that HPLIP can find 2 out of the 3 printers fine and I can print test pages!
But what I can't do is get Vista or XP to print to any of the printers it finds then via samba
here is the relvent part of my samba conf
[Deskjet_D1300]
path = /usr/share/ppd/hpijs/HP/HP-DeskJet_D1300-hpijs.ppd
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
use client driver = Yes
[DeskJet_990C]
path = /usr/share/ppd/hpijs/HP/HP-DeskJet_990C-hpijs.ppd.gz
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
[Color_LaserJet_1600]
path = /usr/share/ppd/foo2zjs/HP-Color_LaserJet_1600.ppd.gz
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
use client driver = Yes
any help would be greatly appriciated
Thank you in advanced
Tim
