If it prints locally, there's no problem with CUPS. Jobs from samba shares are submitted by samba, locally, so the first thing to check is if it is actually submitting the jobs. Set LogLevel to debug in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and do 'service cups reload'. When you submit a job to the samba share, are there any messages about processing the job in /var/log/cups/error_log? This is the print job in the error log with debug enabled.. D [11/Jun/2003:14:35:42 +1000] ReadClient() 6 POST /printers/BJC HTTP/1.1 D [11/Jun/2003:14:35:42 +1000] print_job: auto-typing file...

Out of interest (and not knowing any better) I changed the print processor and data type in windows. Using WinPrint and Canon Print Processor and changing the type from RAW to NT EMF and also TEXT, but I still get the same message in the log as shown above. Perhaps you need to set the Linux queue to be a raw queue (using the System Settings->Printing tool) and tell the Windows machine the printer model; i.e. use the printer driver on the Windows side. Since the HP queue works, what are the settings for that on the Windows end? On the windows side of things I have always used the factory drivers, selecting the correct model. samba.conf also contains the line under [printers]"use client driver = Yes". I have edited the print queue (using Print tool) and change the printer driver to generic - raw print queue. I can now print to the canon printer via samba. The default HP driver settings for windows is HPPRN02 processor and RAW. The default Canon driver settings for windows is Canon BJC-4300SP Print Processor and RAW. The windows side of things have not changed since doing a fresh install of RedHat 9 from the previous version of RedHat, where the Canon printer did work using samba and cups. Cups was not the default but was selected using the printer switch tool. It is intended behaviour that non-raw queues created using redhat-config-printer reject application/octet-stream data. There is a Windows IPP client available from www.cups.org. For SMB printing, either the Windows machine should be set to emit PostScript, or the Linux machine should have a raw queue configured. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: Have two printers installed, a HP LaserJet 6L and a Canon BJC 4310SP. Both printers print locally, but only the HP printer will print from the LAN via samba.Both printers are seen to be active and in a "ready" state on the networked windows machines, but nothing happens when a print job is sent to the Canon printer. Have removed the HP printer and expansion ISA card and still the same result, even with a fresh install of RH9. Both printers worked faultlessly with cups in RedHat 8 and are working currently with LPRng, but if I switch, using the RH printer switch tool, and change smb.conf back to cups I lose the Canon printer via samba. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.1.17-13.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.kudzu detects Canon printer and configures on first boot. 2.Configure cups for Canon BJC 4300SP using RH gui 3.Configure Samba for printer sharing (normally via swat or webmin) 3.Print test page on windows machine, via samba, connected to LAN Actual Results: activity lights on switch, no activity at printer Expected Results: printer prints test page Additional info: I have check all log files for any error messages, but there appears to be none. As stated before only the Canon printer is affected, not the HP printer.
