Hi everyone. I have set up Zentyal 3 on an old Core2 Duo PC, and it is generally running well. I have a few questions and hopefully will find some help here.
The server is for my home, with four Windows clients and a single Ubuntu 13.04 client. I have a single shared printer, a Canon MP280 connected to the server via USB. Because Ubuntu 12.04 does not have a built-in driver for the MP280, I installed a driver from Canon Europe through the command line. CUPS configured it just fine and my Windows clients can see the printer and print to it.
Now for the questions:
- I can't print from Ubuntu. I can see the printer, but every job goes from "Processing" to "Held for authentication" and never prints. The printer is set to allow guest users, and as stated Windows clients can print just fine with no password needed. Should I use IPP or another way to connect my Linux PC instead of SMB?
- Can I set up NFS shares that can't be seen by the Windows clients or do I need to stick to Samba? The shared files will be accessed only by my Ubuntu PC. The only resource I need available to the Windows clients is the printer.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
