OK, here's the scenario. My home network is primarily Windows machines
except for mine, which is running Ubuntu (a spinoff of Debian). One of the Windows XP machines has an HP LaserJet 4P printer. I can see the computer with the printer just fine (I can browse through it's shared folder, etc), but when it comes to printing through the printer attached to it, I have some problems. For example, if I run 'smbclient -L administrator -N" in the terminal, I get the following outpupt: ------------------------------------------------------------------- hikaru79@ubuntu:~ $ smbclient -L administrator -N Domain=[ADMINISTRATOR] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- HPPS735 (E) Disk Bkp_Pictures Disk IPC$ IPC Remote IPC D$ Disk Default share print$ Disk Printer Drivers SharedDocs Disk G$ Disk Default share Printer5 Printer Acrobat Distiller ADMIN$ Disk Remote Admin C$ Disk Default share Printer Printer HP LaserJet 4P ClipsRomania Disk Family Album Disk Domain=[ADMINISTRATOR] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Judging from this output I would think the correct next step would be: 'lpadmin -p LaserJetPrinter -v smb://administrator/Printer -P /root/inkjet.ppd' But when I do this, I get the following error: 'lpadmin: add-printer (set model) failed: client-error-not-found' What's wierd is if I then go into the graphical printer manager, the new printer STILL shows up. However, it does not work. When I try to print a test page, I get this: 'Printing to 'LaserJetPrinter' failed with error code: 1286 is the printer paused ?' Here are some screenshots of the printer properties menu tabs that I took in case I'm not describing things well. Notice in the second screenshot, there's a password filled in--I did not fill it in and there shouldn't be one as there is no password on the network--is this normal? http://thegoban.com/Screenshot.png http://thegoban.com/Screenshot-1.png My question is what can I do to be able to send to my printer through this Windows network? NOTE: I have physical access to both the administrator computer and the printer itself--this is just a small home network Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! =D |
