I am running Centos 4 and I am trying to use a printer on a
Windows domain that is connected to a Windows XP Pro
computer.
If I do
smbclient //ComputerName/PrinterName password -U UserName
and then
/> printmode text
/> print /tmp/test.txt
the printer works.
However, if I setup the printer and check the CUPS
printers.conf, it appears to be correct, but I get
NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL when I print
from OpenOffice or try to print from an Apple iBook.
Any suggestions on what I should check?
I'm not answering your question directly, because to do so,
I'd need to see your CUPS configuration.
That aside, have you considered setting up your Windows
Server with a LPD or an IPP queue for the printer?
If you can, avoid SMB printing -- for countless reasons.
God knows I do so even for Windows clients.
Microsoft's own NT reliability studies show the NT spooler is
the reason why NT crashes/hangs 8% of the time.
