Topic: PDF over lan contrib won´t work - cups installed

[Elluminatus]

I installed cups an my fresh SME Server 7.2 (deinstalled standard printer service) and connected 2 printers to the server. Printing with those 2 printers is without any problem so cups works.

Now i tried to install the pdf-over-lan contrib (http://www.sonoracomm.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=170)
Installation works without a problem, pdf ibay apears and when you connect from a windows client to the server you can the a third printer (pdf) installed through the contrib.

I ried the Apple driver and the Distiller driver in the windows client but when i try to print i can see the following in the log:

Aug 26 22:54:55 hades smbd[4103]:   Unable to get jobs for ipp://localhost/printers/pdf - client-error-not-found

This is the log from my attemp printing to the pdf Printer via a windows client. So why is "localhost" involved? Is this a failure?

So i tried looking up on the cups website what might happend to the printer but there the printer doesent apears.
So instales him via the button "Add Samba printer" and enterd the ipp for the printer.

Now i can see the printer and the same failure:

"Unable to get printer status (client-error-not-authorized)!"
Geräte URI: http://10.0.0.10:631/printers/pdf

Can you help me to examine the failure i made here?

Thank you!

Check if Ghostscript is installed. I believe that is a requirement that is not included in howto and dependency tree of more tools in the PDF field. Most tools need on of the ps2pdf* tools, which come with Ghostscript.

To check if Ghostscript is installed:

Code: [Select]

rpm -qa "grep ghostscript
To install Ghostscript:

Code: [Select]

yum install ghostscriptIf Ghostscript is not in one of the default repositories (which I think it is) you could try downloading it from the RvandenAker site, see the Wiki, for configuring his repository.

Check if Ghostscript is installed.

SME Server told me:

[root@hades ~]# rpm -qa |grep ghostscript
ghostscript-7.07-33
ghostscript-fonts-5.50-13

Is that okay?

P.S. But i found that this one is not installed, is that needed?

[root@hades ~]# rpm -qa |grep sharutils
[root@hades ~]#
