[gentoo-user] [OT] print to printer on winxp via cups samba smb

[reader@newsguy.com]

I need some help getting printing to work from my gentoo machine to an
HP 7410xi (one of those multi-function jobs).

No one is responding to a similar query on the cups list.  So bringing
it here although it may be a little off topic.

The printer works from windows but not from gentoo through cups.  What
is kind of baffling me is that the logs don't really show a clear
error and in fact appear to be saying that the print job was
successful, but nothing comes out of the printer.

My /etc/cups/printers.conf uses an smb:// addressing (xx'ed out in
this post):

<DefaultPrinter chub-print>
Info chub-print
Location chub
DeviceURI smb://reader:xxxxxxx@chub/chub-print)
State Stopped
StateMessage /usr/libexec/cups/backend/smb failed
StateTime 1157936264
Accepting Yes
Shared Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
OpPolicy default
ErrorPolicy stop-printer
</Printer>
 

Log level in cupsd.conf is set to debug ... here is the error_log
output from one print attempt where user reader calls:

  lp file
  request id is chub-print-18 (1 file(s))

The only thing that looks like it might indicate an error is the line
saying:
cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided.

28 lines from error_log produced by above print attempt:
