New subject: printer problems

31 Jul 2004

      Thanks to the person at Price technology for encouraging me to check the
printer drivers one more time. I had spent a good deal of time doing
that but there was one driver I had not tried and that was the one.
So now the printer works.
Thanks, Richard Schmitt

Switching to Fedora Core 2 seemed reasonably smooth. But now I am unable
to connect to an HP LaserjetIIIP via the smb network. The printer runs
on another Windows machine in the network. The network works. In fact,
if I try to print on the Laserjet, the machine receives the message and
runs two pieces of paper through but there is no printing on it.
The Laserjet seems to be connected and communicating with the Fedora
machine, but the files to be printed somehow do not make it to the
printer,
Anyone have similar problems or, even better, a solution?
Not me, but I have had a lot of problems getting CUPS/Samba configured
so that I can print from linux to windoze and also the other direction.
I spent hours perusing the samba documentation, I urge you to do the
same. I'm not (at the moment) running Fedora, but on my Tao linux box
the samba docs can be found in /usr/share/doc/samba*4/docs, where there
are several PDF files. also in a subdir are all the html files. There is
a LOT of documentation there, so if you're willing to slog thru it you
may find the info you need.
good luck!
Fred
