I'd say it is a print configuration on linux side problem. Have you tried deleting print on XP and adding it again ? You haven't mentioned what type of printer you have, and what kind of connection. With CUPS I set up a queue, pick a driver and share the printer, I also have a tab for changing printer options. and an info button to tell me about the driver and printer. Any job I print pretty much goes through ghostscript. Not sure if pdf's do too. Are you sure you've picked the correct driver for your printer ? Which driver did you select ? -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Sean Roe Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 8:52 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: lprng well I am back to where I started except now I'm using lprng. I can print text, docs and images from my windows XP pro box to my printer on my linux box, but still no PDFs. huh, well that leads me to think that its a samba thing or maybe a mime types thing. Any comments?
