Hi Fedora users worlwide,

I have installed FC1 on our new Server and it works fine.
The only problem is to print from the windowsclients to an HP 450C large 
format printer.
The printer is connected to the net via an HP 300X external printserver. 
I can ping the printserver.
I created the printer in CUPS with the websurface of  CUPS. The 
printqueue is "raw"
The windowsclients can see the printer in network neighbourhood but they 
can't  connect.
The directory shares with SAMBA 3.0.2 work fine.
The users have all permissions (777) on /var/spool/samba. Is this correct??

What ist the best order for troubleshooting?

Where should I begin? -> CUPS or SAMBA and/or permissions


thanks Olaf




this is the printer section from smb.conf

[printers]
    comment = All Printers
    path = /var/spool/samba
    printable = Yes
    browseable = No


this is the end of cupsd.conf

End of "$Id: cupsd.conf.in,v 1.13 2003/04/10 20:14:04 mike Exp $".
