Printing from Gentoo to a shared Windows XP printer via Cups

Sevein

"Connection failed with error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED"

This is the error messange that I can see when I am in my cups web-server configuration system, in the manage printers.

Description: Impresora laser en blanco y negro
Location: Conectada al ordenador de la salita (salita.tomareswireless.sewi)
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs.
"Connection failed with error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED"
Device URI: smb://SEVEIN/PC-SALITA/impresora

Should I put some password? But the printer in the XP system dont need passwords!

I've been following this thread hoping for a solution to my problem.

I was having the issue above of all the print jobs going to an "aborted" status.

I finally was able to determin after adding "debug" to the cups config file that there was a program missing.

"hpijs"

I ran "emerge hpijs", and tried again and low and behold, a perfect page.

I never ran accross a single source that mentioned this program. I only figured this out after going carefully through the error log.

I hope someone finds this information useful.

BTW, my printer is an HP Photosmart 7150.

Cheers!

@Sevein
try to use your windows username / pass. if you haven't set one until now, try to create another user with password and enter these account infos into the string. i normally have a pass set on my xp machine but i've read somewhere on the net, that it doesn't without it.

I'm sorry for all the people who can't get it working. and I'm glad that it works for some people, but there is one thing for sure: I'll try to get the thread with your comments, experiences, solutions and help up to date so that it will work as much as possible

thanks and greets,
hulk

Hulk,

Just wanted to add a thank you. Even though I had some problems, I wouldn't have known where to begin without your post.

So THANKS!!

Normally, a Windows printer is shared with Everyone/Print permissions. No password is required to access the printer.

To print to a printer configured in this manner from Linux using SMB/CUPS, you must connect using the guest account using no password.

When you don't set it up properly, you get this error: "SMB tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED"

If you get this error, go to http://localhost:631. As you are adding or modifying your printer, when you get to "Device URI:" , enter " smb://guest:@computername/printsharename".

What would i need to change on this procedure if I cant guarantee a specific IP address due to using DHCP on the network. Its a Win2000 machine with the printer.

Is there anyway for the currently logged on user to access the printer without using the guest account? I disable my guest account for security reasons....

i think you can use every user that is able to print. just try it. my xp machine is currently broken so i can't test it by myself.

greets,
hulk

Just a tip. On the windows machine(NT, 2K, XP) you can go to add/remove programs, click on add/remove windows components, click on other network file and print services, click on print services for Unix. Hit ok a couple times. Then share out your printer with a simple name-eg. no spaces, no weird characters, only 0-9, a-z, or A-Z. Then you can lpr print jobs to the machine. It server is just the IP or qualified domain name of the machine you're trying to print to, and the queue is the name you used to share the printer. I find this to be MUCH more reliable and gobs faster than smb-printing.

At work I have our printers setup like this.
Machine (2K server) hanging off the central switch with 2 NICS. First NIC is on the Central Switch with gigabit, second goes to a 16Port switch via 100bT that's not tied into the rest of the network. All printers are on the second switch, and installed on the server which has "Print Services for Unix", and "Appletalk File/Print Services" installed. Each printer is shared out with a simple, but descriptive name. All print jobs are handled by this machine.

Do the IP's have to be static? Im on DCHP, but can disable that.

no. If the machines get domain names, you don't need static IPs.

Just my two cents, i had to install ijs for my epson EPL 5900L to make it working

(here http://epsonepl.sourceforge.net/ )

Hi, your tutorial worked fine on my system:
I print from a laptop with gentoo toward an Epson EPL-5900 PS connected on my office desktop with win2000Pro.
I print from every office like program and/or editor (I configured it in KDE 3.2 printer utility aswell) but I don't see it in my Mozilla printers window. It shows only "PostScript/default" in the printers tab/list. How do I overcome this?

Thank you.
Miracle

What if the printer connected to the Windows machine is not Linux-compatible?

In my case, I run Gentoo on my personal computer and the family computer runs Windows 2000. The Lexmark X5150 is connected to the Windows computer and is absolutely not compatible in Linux. I suppose I'd need some sort of print server service running on the the Windows machine. Ideas anyone?

All you really need to print via CUPS is the PPD file which should be included with the Windows drivers.

So, you're saying my printer is compatible with Linux+Cups? Or just accross a network?

I haven't seen anything about being able to print locally to it. I find that strange because when I booted Gentoo with the printer connected, the kernel saw the printer ("USB Bidirectional Printer") and the scanner ("HID compliant something or other").

It'd be nice if I could Gentoo that box instead of running W2k.
I'm trying to get the rest of my computers and family weened off of Windows.
