I have a serving running TurboPrint and Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit. I have followed some instructions (in the manual and online) to configure Samba to share the printer(s) from this server to my Win7 laptop so I can print out from Win7 running Corel PrintShopPro. The laptop now sees the printer shared from the server. I've setup Corel to use that printer and when I look at the printer queue on the Win7 laptop it shows the job is submitted.
However, on the server itself I don't see that print job and nothing ever prints.
Here's the smb.conf - Sanitized version:
Code: Select all
#======================= Global Settings =======================
[global]
## Browsing/Identification ###
# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of
workgroup = WORKGROUP
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
########## Domains ###########
########## Printing ##########
# If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
[b] load printers = yes[/b]
# lpr(ng) printing. You may wish to override the location of the
# printcap file
; printing = bsd
; printcap name = /etc/printcap
# CUPS printing. See also the cupsaddsmb(8) manpage in the
# cupsys-client package.
[b] printing = cups
printcap name = cups
[/b]

; write list = root, @lpadmin
I have a feeling this is a samba issue so this may not be the appropriate place to post.
