I had the same issues from my Ubuntu (Jaunty) client. Situation might be a little different from others. In my case, inkjet printer is physically connected to the other Ubuntu server (Hardy). I have printed through samba share, but it hasn't worked since the OS of the client was updated from Intrepid to Jaunty.
My solution is publishing shared printers on the server side. To do this, go to System > Administration > Printing > Server on the server side. Check "Publish shared printers ..." Check "Allow printing from the Internet" Then, on the client side, I removed all printers that were manually set up, and checked "Show printers shared by other systems" at System > Administration > Printing > Server Then the client detects the shared inkjet printer, and a new printer icon soon appears on Printer configuration window on the client side. It was successful to print a PDF file and test page through the automatically detected shared printer, and printing is working fine so far. Hope this helps. -- cups says "can't promp for authorization" when printing to my samba printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283811 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
