Hi everyone,
I have 3 computers at home, one that I use as a server, and two laptops for my girlfriend and I. A few weeks ago, I manage to make samba work and I was able to share my printer that was plug in my server (running ubuntu 11.10). My first laptop, running ubuntu 11.10, and my second laptop running Windows 7, were able to connect to it and print with no problem.
Today, we decided to put the printer at his right place (not on the floor plug in the front end USB like it use to be for the last few days ;) ). So I decided to plug the printer in the rear USB port and this is where thing started to go wrong. I can't print with my first laptop (running Ubuntu 11.10). But it's working with my 2nd laptop (running windows 7).
checked the samba configuration, reinstall the printer through CUPS web interface, reinstall the printer on my laptop... nothing works
this is what I have in my smb.conf file
Code:
[...]
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = yes
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
create mask = 0700
# Windows clients look for this share name as a source of downloadable
# printer drivers
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
read only = yes
guest ok = yes

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this
Thank you for your time
