Huge mystery Problem

[jswytka]

Hi Folks!!

Iīll be quick!!

Environment: Debian Lenny | Samba/CUPS | Network: 25 Workstations (WINXP SP3) | Printer: Samsung ML2010 (on server) Thatīs it.

Problem:

All workstations can print, except two. I formated the two workstations, installed everything again and nothing!!

Why?????

would check the samba log to confirm the user is authenticated, and that the printers section is setup - otherwise you don't give much information on which to assist.

do other workstations print in that configuration? your image appears to show a workstation with the printer attached? or printing in only windows as shared printer?

if the printer is served up over cups - does the cups log see any of your clients trying to print? can you show the logs where one of the working workstations and the not working?

in samba your workstation probably will need a 'machine' account - if you have some working perhaps they do have a machine account?

can you see the printers from the workstation using 'net view' in the dos shell?

those come to mind, hope it helps.

Solved!!!

I remove printer from CUPS and share from samba. Recreate it ...works !!!
