[Samba] my printers are still paused in Win2k and WinNT 4.0

Hello,
It seems that I am in printer hell once again :) I am trying to sort out
some printer problems with our UNIX server. The basic problem is this. I
have a test server to K.I.S.S the problem. On this server I have defined two
queues which are  csqlis and HPfinley. csqlis seems to work correctly and
displays ready.  HPfinley always reads Paused on win2k and NT40 clients. The
output of the lpq command is 
csqlis:
[root@localhost etc]# lpq -Pcsqlis
Printer: csqlis@localhost <mailto:csqlis@localhost>  'This is  a
test' (dest
hp@csqlis.pa-ucl.com <mailto:hp@csqlis.pa-ucl.com> )
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
JetDirect lpd: no jobs queued on this port
 
HPfinley
[root@localhost etc]# lpq -Phpfinley
Printer: HPfinley@localhost <mailto:HPfinley@localhost>  (dest
hp@fin-office-laser.pa-ucl.com <mailto:hp@fin-office-laser.pa-ucl.com> )
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
JetDirect lpd: no jobs queued on this port
[root@localhost etc]#
 
I am running the following revs for software
RED HAT 7.3 
LPRng 3.8.12
Samba -2.2.5 with the parse_sec_patch
I have also added done_jobs=0 to the lpd.conf and printcap and
printcap.local files
Any help on this isssue would be apprecated. I am stuck with this problem.
Considering that the lpq output looks the same to me.
 
                                        Shane

[Samba] my printers are still paused in Win2k and WinNT 4.0

1.  What types of HP printers are they?
 
2.  Is the firmware on the JetDirects up to date?
 
3.  Are you using the HP or MS driver for the clients?
 
4.  Are you using ":rp=9100" or ":rp=raw" in printcap?
(post your printcap, and we'll look it over)
 
5. Do you have "guest ok=yes" on the printer entries?
 
6.  Are you using disable spoolss= "yes" or "no"?
 
Jim

Shane,

Here's a snip from another LPRng user,
sthom, having the same problem:

-----------------------------------------
Thanks for the help. The version of Lprng that ships with RedHat 7.3 is
3.8.9, but I had to change the default anyway. It was difficult to figure
out which file to edit (printcap, printcap.local, lpd.conf, so I tried all
of them. It turns out /etc/lpd.conf was the culprit, I added the following
after the default:
# default done_jobs= 1 (INTEGER)
done_jobs=0
-----------------------------------------

Try that, and see if it also works for you...
Jim

Jim & the samba list
First off thanks for looking at this!!!! ... I have the following
information the first is using the lpr/lpd print file transfering.
1.) My company has a mix of HP printers from 4m plus to 4500 HP lasers. This
error occurs between all of the printers. For testing I choose two HP 4m
plus printers for testing..

2.) Yes, I downloaded the lastest firmware to the netdirect cards using hp
download manager. Current firmware levels on both test printers is -->Model
J2552B Firmware is A.08.40

3.) I am using the MS clients for the test server. 

4.) I have tried to use the direct tcp method of printing and it works great
but I still have the same print paused problem. It doesn't seem to matter
what method I use to print LPD/direct TCP.

Jim,
I have placed the done_jobs in my lpd.conf and it didn't fix the problem.
How can the done jobs parm effect the samba system if the queues don't list
out any jobs to print???
My current lpd.conf file is -->
# lpd.conf
# VERSION=3.8.12
# lpd.conf generated from  on Mon May  6 09:04:18 PDT 2002
#   The values in this file are the default values.
#   If you modify the file,  set the value to something other than the
default
#   For example,
#     # default force_localhost
#   means the 'force_localhost' option default value is on or 1

Shane,

Here's a snip from another LPRng user,
sthom, having the same problem:

-----------------------------------------
Thanks for the help. The version of Lprng that ships with RedHat 7.3 is
3.8.9, but I had to change the default anyway. It was difficult to figure
out which file to edit (printcap, printcap.local, lpd.conf, so I tried all
of them. It turns out /etc/lpd.conf was the culprit, I added the following
after the default:
# default done_jobs= 1 (INTEGER)
done_jobs=0
-----------------------------------------

Try that, and see if it also works for you...

Jim & the samba list
First off thanks for looking at this!!!! ... I have the following
information the first is using the lpr/lpd print file transfering.
1.) My company has a mix of HP printers from 4m plus to 4500 HP lasers. This
error occurs between all of the printers. For testing I choose two HP 4m
plus printers for testing..

2.) Yes, I downloaded the lastest firmware to the netdirect cards using hp
download manager. Current firmware levels on both test printers is -->Model
J2552B Firmware is A.08.40

3.) I am using the MS clients for the test server. 

4.) I have tried to use the direct tcp method of printing and it works great
but I still have the same print paused problem. It doesn't seem to matter
what method I use to print LPD/direct TCP.

1.  What types of HP printers are they?

2.  Is the firmware on the JetDirects up to date?

3.  Are you using the HP or MS driver for the clients?

4.  Are you using ":rp=9100" or ":rp=raw" in printcap?
(post your printcap, and we'll look it over)

5. Do you have "guest ok=yes" on the printer entries?

6.  Are you using disable spoolss= "yes" or "no"?

Hello,
It seems that I am in printer hell once again :) I am trying to sort out
some printer problems with our UNIX server. The basic problem is this. I
have a test server to K.I.S.S the problem. On this server I have defined two
queues which are  csqlis and HPfinley. csqlis seems to work correctly and
displays ready.  HPfinley always reads Paused on win2k and NT40 clients. The
output of the lpq command is 
csqlis:
[root@localhost etc]# lpq -Pcsqlis
Printer: csqlis@localhost 'This is  a test' (dest hp@csqlis.pa-ucl.com)
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
JetDirect lpd: no jobs queued on this port

HPfinley
[root@localhost etc]# lpq -Phpfinley
Printer: HPfinley@localhost (dest hp@fin-office-laser.pa-ucl.com)
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
JetDirect lpd: no jobs queued on this port
[root@localhost etc]#

I am running the following revs for software
RED HAT 7.3 
LPRng 3.8.12
Samba -2.2.5 with the parse_sec_patch
I have also added done_jobs=0 to the lpd.conf and printcap and
printcap.local files
Any help on this isssue would be apprecated. I am stuck with this problem.
Considering that the lpq output looks the same to me.

If you look in your lpd spool dir, you'll see the last
job is still there;  LPRng knows it's purpose, but
samba doesn't...lpq will tell you that there are
no printable jobs, but samba sees it as Paused...

  I'm running OpenBSD, and putting it in lpd.conf didn't
fix it for me, either.  Putting :done_jobs=0 in the
.common section worked for me.

Here's a snippet of my /usr/local/etc/printcap:

[Samba] my printers are still paused in Win2k and WinNT 4.0

Jim,
Again no dice. This is a very strange problem!?! I am now debating to
compile LPRng with done_jobs=0 to see if that works( at this point I doubt
it). I also have some more interesting data for the problem
	1.)The HP 4m printer all of a sudden started to work it showed
"ready"!! I come back about 5 mins later and it showed
"pause" again????
This means other print jobs on the printer are affecting the samba print
queue...
	2.) I have switched everything over to tcp 9100 and back again to
lpd after testing the done_jobs parm still no fix.....
	3.)  I have never printed a job on this server it is a test. I
figured that print_jobs=0 means that lprng keept old jobs around to so I
cleared out all of the queues and reset up the printers. again paused
printer,, With no print jobs ????
	4.) Is CUPS better for communicating status info with samba? I would
hate to switch to CUPS since CUPS looks more complicated.
	5.) is there a way to get samba to kick out more detailed info about
the printer status( or what it thinks is the printer status).
	6.) I am checking the status by double clicking on the computer.
then the printers share on that computer. I then click on a printer and wait
for the refresh on my win2k to say ready or fail....
	
				Shane
Any Ideas are helpful!!!

P.S. The Damm printer show ready again as I write you this message. I will
check it in the morning..

I might have missed a clue - is the printer saying it's Paused,
or the last job printed saying that it's Paused after being printed?

:done_jobs=0 relates to the printed job, not the printer...

Do you have guest ok=yes in the printer's subsection
in smb.conf?

  e.g.
[HP4Plus]
	guest ok=yes

or 

[Printers]
	guest ok=yes

See if it shows Paused when it's in Power Save mode, and
Ready when it's in Ready mode.

If the JetDirects are 10/100, try setting them to 10MHz/Half Duplex
and see if it changes anything.  100Base-TX Full Duplex doesn't
do much ack/nack'ing, IIRC.

I've used both-9100 may enable Bi-Directional comms; raw
doesn't, IIRC.

That's what made me think about whether the printer status was Paused,
and not the print job...

Me too...

Kick the log level up to 3 for more, up to 10 for a LOT more...

Were these printers installed when using an older version of
samba?  If so, try adding "disable spoolss=yes"
and "use client driver=yes" to [Global] in smb.conf
then restart samba and see if they're still flaky.

[Samba] my printers are still paused in Win2k and WinNT 4.0

Jim and the samba list,
Ok I think I have found part of my problem. I have a question for you.. What
is the difference between these two outputs...
[root@localhost etc]# lpq -P thisisalongtest
Printer: thisisalongtest@localhost
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
[root@localhost etc]# lpq -P thisisaoff
Printer: thisisaoff@localhost
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
or
[root@localhost etc]# lpq -P csq_office_a
Printer: csq_office_a@localhost (dest hp@csq_office_a.pa-ucl.com)
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Active connection from  172.27.1.2
[root@localhost etc]# lpq -P csqoffficea
Printer: csqoffficea@localhost
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
....
The answer is off is in the name of the printer!!!! thats right
thisisalongtest works ok but and printer with office or even off in the name
shows paused. Is this a bug?????

Were these printers installed when using an older version of
samba?  If so, try adding "disable spoolss=yes"
and "use client driver=yes" to [Global] in smb.conf
then restart samba and see if they're still flaky.

[Samba] my printers are still paused in Win2k and WinNT 4.0

I have two more situations regarding this problem that might help:
1. I installed a new printer a gave it the name "HP LaserJet
Secretariado".
When I tried to print from IE5 and Opera, it showed this: in the Where
field, appeared "ecretariado" and not "\\cont02lin01\q-hp4000n.
2. I have a HP Laserjet 6P connected to a JetDirect 10/100. Every time I
send a print to this printer, the state changes to Paused when printing and
to Ready after the page is printed.

Jim,
Not only does the buffer scrapper code show paused if the Printer name is
something like CSQ_office_a but if the host has  off in the name like -->
hp@mercylaboffice.pa-ucl.com it puts it on pause...

Jim and the samba list,
Ok I think I have found part of my problem. I have a question for you.. What
is the difference between these two outputs...
[root@localhost etc]# lpq -P thisisalongtest
Printer: thisisalongtest@localhost
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
[root@localhost etc]# lpq -P thisisaoff
Printer: thisisaoff@localhost
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
or
[root@localhost etc]# lpq -P csq_office_a
Printer: csq_office_a@localhost (dest hp@csq_office_a.pa-ucl.com)
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Active connection from  172.27.1.2
[root@localhost etc]# lpq -P csqoffficea
Printer: csqoffficea@localhost
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
....
The answer is off is in the name of the printer!!!! thats right
thisisalongtest works ok but and printer with office or even off in the name
shows paused. Is this a bug?????

I might have missed a clue - is the printer saying it's Paused,
or the last job printed saying that it's Paused after being printed?

:done_jobs=0 relates to the printed job, not the printer...

Do you have guest ok=yes in the printer's subsection
in smb.conf?

  e.g.
[HP4Plus]
	guest ok=yes

or 

[Printers]
	guest ok=yes

See if it shows Paused when it's in Power Save mode, and
Ready when it's in Ready mode.

If the JetDirects are 10/100, try setting them to 10MHz/Half Duplex
and see if it changes anything.  100Base-TX Full Duplex doesn't
do much ack/nack'ing, IIRC.

I've used both-9100 may enable Bi-Directional comms; raw
doesn't, IIRC.

[Samba] my printers are still paused in Win2k and WinNT 4.0

Jim, 
I think I found another bug... I really seem to be in printer hell :(.... I
found that windows 2k doesn't update its status "ready" or
"paused" when
used with samba. Here is what I did...
	1.) enable all of the lpr/lpd queues. check em' with lpq...
	2.) start samba...
	3.) goto my win 2k client.
	4.) install the printer.( a hp 5m driver that was uploaded to the
samba server from windows)
	5.) click on the printer in the "printers" folder on the client.
	6.) this is where the fun begins :) login to the samba server and
perform a lpc -P%p stop (lpc -Pcsqlis stop) or use windows to pause the
printer. Check the status on the linux box to really make sure it is paused.
	7.) sing the theme song to jeopardy for 10 secs.
	8.) click on the printers to make sure windows updates. The printer
still says ready but the "wait time" field is gone...
	9.) perform a lpc -Pcsqlis start command. 
	10.) check it with lpq
	11.) in 10 sec the "wait time" will reappear.. hmmm 

You can do the same thing except start samba with the queue being paused. It
will show paused during the testing. The only thing that goes away and comes
back is the wait time field. Jim have you seem this before??? Has anyone
else ??? Or do I have a retarded computer win2k box???
