Hi,
I have two computers,
1. A desktop to which my printer is attached. The desktop computer is a
Linux machine and acts as a samba server.
2. A laptop which dual boots Windows 7 and Linux.
The problem is printing with the laptop. The printer works correctly
when corrected directly to the laptop or the desktop so I am sure that
it is not a printer hardware problem. When I try to print something on
the laptop using the samba network, the job goes to the desktop for
printing but nothing is printed. When I view the printer queue, the
laptops print job is shown but its status is "held". I tried everything
to get the print job to print but no success. I'm sure I overlooked
something, but what is it? Any suggestions?
