This is driving me crazy. I have samba server set up and apparently working fine, I can browse to the SuSE box from Win98 and install the printer with no issues.
When I print, however, nothing seems to make it to the printer.
I can see the print job as 'active' in CUPS, but nothing prints.
Is the printer you are trying to connect to set up as a raw print queue? If you don't know, it probably isn't. If it isn't a raw queue, look at /etc/cups/mime.convs and make sure application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw is uncommented (bottom of the file) as well as application/octet-stream in /etc/cups/mime.types (again toward the bottom of the file). If that solves the problem, great! If not check in /var/log/cups/error_log and see if you can find a clue. If editing the two cups files does the trick, be sure to check them again if cups gets updated. I've had these modified files overwritten with an update. You can avoid that problem by setting up a raw print queue for your printer and pointing the windows machine to that queue. I've seen both ways described as 'the best way', so... have fun! Doug
