Printing to windows computer

[mars_hall]

I am having problems printing to a HP LaseJet 1000 connected to a Windows XP Pro computer. I have the printer set up in the Gnome Printer configuration tool, and I have followed the instructions given. I keep getting this error:
I [01/Apr/2004:22:17:07 -0500] Adding start banner page "none" to job 5.
I [01/Apr/2004:22:17:07 -0500] Adding end banner page "none" to job 5.

E [01/Apr/2004:22:17:07 -0500] PID 5800 stopped with status 1!

What do I need to do?

[Jman]

You can see the printer from Fedora, right? Try running

smbclient -L <WinXPMachine>

in a terminal and see if your printer appears.

I wish that error message would be more verbose.

Here is what I get when I run the command you provided:
# smbclient -L mars-hall

It appears that something is wrong with the samba setup, as it only quit when the smb backend started.

What share did you specify when setting it up? The printer named Printer on mars-hall has DOS on the end of it. DOS driver maybe? Try running the config tool again, editing the printer, queue type tab. Check that the share box reads something like

//mars-hall/Printer2

[mars_hall]

That was the one that I selected going through the printer configuration utility on linux. I showed up just like when you set up a networked printer from windows. What is confusing me is that I am set up as a workgroup, and it seems that Linux thinks my XP box is in a domain "mars-hall" which is the name of my other computer. I have double checked the indentification of my windows box and it shows it is in the workgroup "WORKGROUP"

[Jman]

I think the domain is equivalent to the Windows computer name. Confusing I know.

We need debugging info. Edit /etc/foomatic/filter.conf. Uncomment debug and change to 1, so that line looks like

debug: 1

Now /tmp/foomatic-rip.log will have some detailed output. Try your test again and have a look at the log.

[mars_hall]

Okay did that removed and re-installed printer and checked the log. Here it is:

This is your problem:

The filter to get the data to your printer is not installed. Download it from this site (thanks Google), extract the archive, and follow the install instructions.

I can't find an rpm package for this, so it looks like you will have to make install.

RESOLVED!!!!
Thank you VERY much. Sorry you had to do my leg work for me.
I was starting to think it was something to do with the beta of service pack 2 I had installed, and then removed from my XP box. Then I checked from one of my other windows computers and I was able to print from there. I had read in the driver "Notes" that the firmware needed to be update to connect directly to my Linux (C2T2) box, but felt sure it should be able to print through the network.
Thanks again, Jman

No problem.

Marked as resolved.
