Hey,

I have just upload a testing package to our unstable repostory:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox-unstable/ubuntu hardy main

You will we have to update ebox-samba and ebox-printers. Please note that it's a testing package not ready yet for production till we test it more deeply. You are very welcome to help with this :)

Hello Javi,

i would be proud to be a beta tester, but unfortunally he doesnt find any new pakages,

after adding the repository he found a couple of other updates but no update for ebox-samba or ebox-printers (both are still 0.12-0ubuntu1), i forgot to mention that i use hardy 32bit

thanks

javi

What's your printer model?

You can configure a printer via CUPS interfaces accessing https://127.0.0.1:631

If you have the latest ebox-printer version from our ebox-unstable repository. After you configure a printer with cups, you have grant access to a user or group on the eBox web interface. You should see the printer configured with CUPS there. If not, please post the content of your /etc/cups/printers.conf


Thanks!
