This might be a basic question but, I am trying to get suse 9.0 setup to share a printer connected to my win2k machine: I see the shares when I do an smb. I was following the directions found in: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/11/jsmeix_print-smb-90.html to print through smb. It printed when I typed in the info (i.e echo ... | smbclient" ...) just fine. 1. However I do not seem to have an etc/cups/printers.conf or /etc/cups/cupsd.conf only a client.conf 2. Also I have not found anywhere in Yast to configure CUPS. is there a menu I am missing? If I can print to the printer from a console, does that mean I am running CUPS? http://localhost:631 just says an error occured. In: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2001/06/jsmeix_print-cups.html it says " To switch to CUPS, launch the YaST2 module "Printers in CUPS" and follow the instructions. " I have not found this module... 3. I entered the info from smb client (smb://netbios/share "pswd" -c"print" -n -u"user" -w "netbios":631 in one of the printer request windows (may have been control center for KDE) so now whenever I call it up anything that goes and looks for the printer kcontrol it goes into never never land looking for the printer. Is there a file I could delete it from to start over? I have searched the archives and googled.. Nothing I've found seems to help much

First, make SURE cups is installed. From everything you have described, it would appear that you have not installed cups. Go into yast as root, and install/remove software, search for cups and install it. Then you need something as simple as this in your /etc/cups/printers.conf: <Printer MyWindowsPrinter> Info Laserjet Location OnWin2k DeviceURI smb://username:password@Win2k/Laserjet State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 </Printer> -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

It sounds like you do not have cups installed. Maybe you only have cups-client installed. joe@jmorris:~> rpm -qf /etc/cups/printers.conf cups-1.1.20-0 joe@jmorris:~> rpm -qf /etc/cups/client.conf cups-libs-1.1.20-0 joe@jmorris:~> rpm -qf /etc/cups/cupsd.conf cups-1.1.20-0 I am still on 8.2, but it should be the same. Try installing all of cups via Yast, and if you still have problems after that, send us the output of rpm -qa | grep cups -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
