Greetings. I recently upgraded from FC5 to FC6, and now my cups
printing is broken.
I print to an HP841C printer that is attached to a Windows PC. Under
FC5, I was connecting to this via smb.
When I attempt to print a test page to the printer (which still
appears to be accessible via the cups web interface), I see an error
referencing /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb. I googled this and the only
thing I can find is a requirement to have a symbolic link set up. It
is there.
Has anybody had any problems getting cups to print to a Windows
printer via smb since upgrading from Fedora Core 5 to Fedora Core 6?
If so, how did you fix it?
I'll gladly provide any logs that may help in diagnosing this issue.
I just don't know what to provide at this point.
Thanks!
Bill

A number of folks have reported problems configuring early model HP
printers. I "think" there are some missing ppd issues. ( I'm not using
fc6) - but have solved the problem ( with different distros ) by going
