[opensuse-support] Network printing using CUPS on Linux
Dears, I was trying to setup a Printer server using Cups and an HP desk-jet connected via USB on my Tumbleweed. I wonder send printing jobs from another computer sharing the same local network which runs Windows 10. Communication between Windows and Cups over LAN has been verified and it works. If I print a test page from Cups web-page accessing it by the Windows pc browser, it works. The problem is that I cannot print nothing using the Windows spool despite the network shared printer being available and apparently all details being accessible from Windows. I've not found so far much documentation in regard so I'm asking if I'm ready to go with just CUPS or may be I need to install SAMBA as well in order Windows being able to print via CUPS? Any brief and 100% working HOW-TO is appreciated. Thanks Regards, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

I have a win10 box which has access to my networked hp printer and a usb connected to win10 shared hp printer were I can print from my linux boxes. made the connections from a linux box using hplip-hpijs. And I do have smb/nmb running. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Patrick! What happens if you disable SAMBA? Did you never tested? May be SAMBA is a requirement in order the specific printer spool of Windows could be able to communicate with CUPS (?).

AFAIK you can set the printer in Windows either by using Samba or using CUPS. There was a web page with a lot of documentation on samba for openSUSE, where was it? I don't see it in my notes. Not the one I was looking for, but read this one: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Printing_from_Windows_to_Linux -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Thanks Carlos, I've already read such SDB but has not been useful to make th things work. It is still not clear if SAMBA being or not a requirement. Cheers, Marco -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Years since I did this but 8-10 years ago SAMBA was needed. Have you enabled print sharing in cups?

I'm updating SAMBA and I will try after setting and starting it.

I made it works setting up configuration by following this guide: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/samba-print-server Regards, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Hi, Would like to add that SAMBA is not a requirement in order to sharing a printer connected via USB on Linux Tumbleweed using CUPS, with a Windows computer connected on same LAN. I've certified this locally! -- Marco Calistri Build: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20200907 Kernel: 5.8.4-1-default - Cinnamon 4.2.2 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
