I use cups on all linux version and allways had configured my printer hp laserjet 4L connected to my SME-SERVER thrue samba with the corresponding driver: "HP LaserJet 4L Foomatic/hpijs".
I have been around but infortunately this time the printer test doen't work.

Hi Goltuna,

Have you tried the CUPS install that Paul (pakt) has made available here.....

Hello,
Finally the problem was coming from a password error because when i tried:
"smbclient \\\\192.168.174.1\\root -N" it gave me: "tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED" . The correct syntax for cups was :
"smb://username:password@server/printer" instead of:"smb://guest@server/printer" and the new driver gimp-print work like a charm on my HP4-L.
Tks all the same
