Samba printing problem
I'm having a heckuva time getting a Win 2K machine to print. On my
debian system, I have CUPS installed and its working. I've got an Epson
Stylus Color 600 connected to /dev/lp0 and I'm using the gimp printer
drivers. I've installed cupsys, cupsys-bsd, cupsys-client,
cupsys-driver-gimpprint, and cupsys-pstoraster. I'm running Debian
unstable.
My /etc/printcap.cups file contains the following line in it:
epson600:
Is this all it needs?
I made one change to my cupsysd.conf file. I added the following line to
the <Location /> section:
Allow From *.mydomain.name
I've added the following lines to my smb.conf file:
[Global]
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = /etc/printcap.cups
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/cups/tmp/
printer name = epson600
public = yes
create mode = 0700
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P %p -o raw %s
lpq command = /usr/bin/lpstat -o %p
lprm command = /usr/bin/cnacel %p-%j
available = yes
Windows 2000 sees the printer and lets me install the drivers for it,
but won't let me print to it. It says 'Access Denied, Unable to Connect'
My /var/spool/cups directory is owned by lp and the group is sys. It has
700 privileges. My log file is telling me I have insufficient
permissions to open spool file /var/spool/cups/tmp.
This is driving me crazy.
