I wanted to set up a shared printer (Canon iP4200) from my Linux box to Windows PC's on a local network.
In the Linux everything is fine, from the web-interface I could easily print the testpage.
I set up the printer based on the wiki's instructions ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CU … ng_via_IPP ), and Windows sees the printer, it's ready for printing, but when I try to print something, and open the Windows print queue, after about half a minute it writes "error - printing". And that's all.
In the web interface the printing job never appears, nothing useful is in /var/log/cups/error_log.
What could be the problem?

I threw out this whole webinterface thing, and solve it through smb.conf
[global]
.
.
.
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
cups options = raw
printing = cups
.
.
.
[printers]
comment = Shared Printer
path = /var/spool/samba
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
use client driver = Yes
browseable = No
it works now
