 |
|
I've been following the documentation at: http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html. I am to step 8. My printer is a HP Laserjet 5m. I have installed "HP-LaserJet_5M-Postscript.ppd" in /usr/share/cups/model. I am confused about what I should do for step 8. My printer is at 192.168.1.40. This server does not have X installed on it.
Could someone tell me what I should do?

Is your printer a network printer or is it connected to a computer? On the second case, is the printer shared to the network by that computer? If so, you need to know the share name and the protocoll used (samba, cups,..etc)
hope this helps.

| Just install a console based web-browser like lynx and use that to access the web-bases cups configuration utility. |

Okay finally got it working... now I"m having Samba issues. Here's a snip of smb.conf for the printer:
| Code: | [printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = yes
path = /var/spool/cups/tmp
printable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
valid users = cmiller
create mode = 0777 |
I go to install the printer (Windows 2000). All goes well. I go to print something to it, and I noticed it says "Access Denied" in the print dialog. hmm... why?
| Code: | [/var]$ ls -l
total 85
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 May 27 04:05 spool
[/var]$ ls -l spool/
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 27 04:05 cron
drwxrwxrwx 3 lp sys 4096 May 27 03:26 cups
drwxrwsr-x 3 lp lp 4096 Aug 9 2002 lpd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 31 2002 mail -> ../mail
drwxr-xr-x 2 rwhod nogroup 4096 Jan 31 2002 rwho
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jan 31 2002 texmf
[/var]$ ls -l spool/cups/
total 8
-rwxrwxrwx 1 lp sys 585 May 27 03:26 c00010
drwxrwxrwx 2 lp sys 4096 May 27 06:03 tmp |
Any ideas?

I've got a quote (and a bunch of other crap to go along with it) that I need to print for a customer by tomorrow, so any suggestions would be great....
