I got this working. I had to do Disk Utility's Repair Permissions. What I had done is to chmod a number of directories and files to be readable-by-all so I could back them up from a non-root account via rsync-ssh. Apparently, things are very sensitive to their appropriate file modes...

I have lots of problems printing to my HP LaserJet 5L connected directly via a USB cable->parallel port converter/adapter. The printer queue either just shuts itself off or constantly says "printer not responding". I rebooted, re-added the printer (CUPS+gutenprint/gimp-print), turned on...

I finally fixed this. In the [global] section, I added: After adding the last line ("locking"), everything started working -- I could add the printer ('though, I couldn't see it) and can print to it. (There are some problems on the Mac side. Sometimes the queue just stops for no reason...

I've made progress with this. Of sorts. After setting "security = share", I can now connect to the printer from both the Mac itself and from a Linux machine: $ smbclient "//MINI/HP LaserJet 5L" But, when I try to test printing, I get an error: Also, for some reason, after connecting, it...

I think my problem is Samba itself. For some reason, even if /usr/sbin/smbd is not running, "smbclient -NL localhost" still works. So, I think there's another process handling Samba requests and perhaps /etc/smb.conf is not even being used. Also, I am no longer able to connect to user home...

That was exactly what I did, in addition to what I found on http://members.cox.net/18james/osx_printer_sharing.html for Samba sharing.

This printer was previously connected to another Linux machine and I printed fine from Windows 98 to the Samba share running on the Linux machine. (My point in connecting the printer to the Mac was to try to get away from my dependency upon my old Linux machines.) So, yes, there are drivers...

I have been unsuccessful in trying to print to a printer connected on a Mac. (The printer works fine on the Mac itself.) I'm trying to print from a Windows 98 machine. The Windows machine doesn't list the printer in the Network Neighborhood but I am able to successfully connect to one of the...
