Hi, Okay, after playing around a little bit for a while i still gotta come and ask here. I got my printer setup on my suse 10.1 server system and i can print just fine with my Suse 10.2 client but not with the Windows client(s). In Windows i can browse for the printer and it shows it up nicely. Double click tells me that it'll download the driver to the system but then it still can't find it and i will need to install it manually. Anyways, once done this, i can nicely add it to my windows printer(s) but when i try to print something it tells me "Access denied, unable to connect". I'm not reallly sure what's wrong since i can print from my suse 10.2 client just fine. Can anyone help me? This would be appreciated! Thanks tons! -- chEErs Ron -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you use IPP printing from Windows, you need to use "Publish Printer" in the CUPS webfrontend. If you use SMB printing from Windows, you can use samba's authentication controls (i.e. authenticated or guest mode) and all is well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have never had to download a driver, postscript or other, to talk to CUPS. I simply configure CUPS for the printer and then point the Windows computer at the CUPS server. However, you may need a printer driver for Windows, if the printer is not already supported.

Microsoft has downloads available that enable internet printing support in Windows 98 and 2000, which will allow Windows to use a CUPS printer over the network. This is built into XP already. I don't recall the details, but you are then able to configure the printer in Windows, though you have to specifically configure it, as browsing for the printer does not work.

Damon Register I think you're still heading in the wrong direction "Unix" printing is usually something like LPR, which is not what I'm referring to. In XP, using the add printer wizard, I select network printer and then the next setting shows an option "Connect to a printer on the internet or on a home or office network" which has a box for entering a URL for the

There is and that is/should be the default! See /etc/cups/cups.conf:

Ah here I have AuthType Basic. Try adding Digest
AuthClass Group AuthGroupName sys

Okay, changed above line by adding digest, restarted cups but in Windows it still says "Access denied, unable to connect" isn't this weird? :o

Two or more ways: - rasterization(Windows) - relay(CUPS) - printed page - postscriptize(Windows) - rasterize(CUPS) - printed page (- postscriptize(Windows) - relay(CUPS) - rasterization(printer) - printed page) The 3rd one does not always work, due to crappy printers that just lock up because they feel like they do not have enough memory.

By default, CUPS lets everyone print from localhost. If you use "Publish Printer" you can print from everywhere.
Does every Windows user need to be added?
If you run with smb printing instead of ipp, it will do "the right thing", since you can force smb that authentication is a must. As far as the linux world is considered, you always need to login to the system anyway before sending a print job, so no problem here.

Publish Printer is a button in the CUPS web interface.

Well it does want a driver, and that is reasonable. I for my part prefer the CUPS Postscript one available somewhere at the cups site; a package that does both b/w and color is at [2]
Huh, don't i need to use the vendor's driver anyways? (If not included in Windows)
Two or more ways: - rasterization(Windows) - relay(CUPS) - printed page - postscriptize(Windows) - rasterize(CUPS) - printed page (- postscriptize(Windows) - relay(CUPS) - rasterization(printer) - printed page)
The 3rd one does not always work, due to crappy printers that just lock up because they feel like they do not have enough memory.
Huh? Sorry, you lost me here...not sure what you're talking about here :(
Well well, hold it. Sometimes there is a reason you want Windows to send Postscript instead of raster or printer-specific command (aka "raw").. which is what most printer drivers actually do. For example, if you want job logging[1] or let CUPS do the rasterization, or...
[1] gv /var/spool/cups/d01234-001 yup, that's all and you know what your users printed. :)
Would the result on paper be the same?
Generally yes.
I don't know if my original post got through, if so I apologize, but in addition to the above make sure you see "man lppasswd" and make sure the windows user and password have an entry in lppasswd because windows tries to auth by sending the windows login and password.
Really? Can't i just open it up for the whole network with no authentication?
By default, CUPS lets everyone print from localhost. If you use "Publish Printer" you can print from everywhere.

A little earlier (a few weeks ago) I wanted to go the "easy" way via samba and then i got recommended to forget about Samba and rather just share it by CUPS. That's why I'm actually doing it the CUPS way and i'd really like to get it working that way. So i really appreciate everybody's help to get my printer shared and accessible to Windows clients. Thanks!

Different ways of how to chain the print job transformation.
If you run with smb printing instead of ipp, it will do "the right thing", since you can force smb that authentication is a must. As far as the linux world is considered, you always need to login to the system anyway before sending a print job, so no problem here.

Well if you do not care about authentication, either smb or ipp works.

That's what I said. CUPS will use the system password databse, and that's a good thing, is not it? Less passwords to remember. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, it should work. He is typing "http://192.168.0.2:631" on the browser, and that should work, it is the administrative interface.
