I'm having trouble printing to my FC2t2 machine from an XP machine.
It's not SElinux and I'm pretty sure it's not samba. In my cups error
log I am seeing this error:
E [09/Apr/2004:15:51:00 -0400] print_job: Unsupported format
'application/octet-stream'!
I [09/Apr/2004:15:51:00 -0400] Hint: Do you have the raw file printing
rules enabled?
When I rpm -q cups -i I find that this package was built this Monday. I
first started having trouble with my printer on Tuesday or Wednesday.
( I use it only once or twice a week) I found a commented line in /etc/
cups/mime.types to allow application/octet-stream to print without
specifying the -oraw option. I uncommented it even though I do use the -
oraw option in my smb.conf. Now it asks me if I have ESP Ghostscript
installed which I think is a dead end, because I haven't removed any
packages.
Here's the relevant line from /var/log/messages:
Apr 9 17:15:50 FC2 smbd[7995]: [2004/04/09 17:15:50, 0] printing/
print_cups.c:cups_job_submit(766)
Apr 9 17:15:50 FC2 smbd[7995]: Unable to print file to usblp0 -
client-error-document-format-not-supported
Here's my printer entry form smb.conf:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = yes
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
guest ok = yes
printable = yes
print command = cupsdoprint -P'%p' -oraw %s
use client driver = yes
oplocks = no
share modes = no
Everything used to work perfectly. I'm out ideas to fix this. If anyone
has some insight I would be very greatful.
