Hi, I ve had some problems printing from NT, I had samba 2.0.3 and every time at the end of document there is a blank paper and I don't know how I can stop this ??? Regards, and thanks in advance for any help Amin.
Hello, **** Please could you reply directly to ian@ichilton.co.uk, as I am only subscribed to the Samba list in digest mode, so will not get responses for a while **** I am running Samba 2.0.6 and am having a problem printing... I have attatched my smb.conf file.. When I run: lpr -Phpdj filename from the linux box, it prints... When i run testprns, it reports that hpdj is a valid printer in /etc/printcap However, when I print from Windows, over the samba, the files appear in /tmp (and stay there..), but the printer doesn't do anything, and nothing seems to appear in the queue... Any ideas?? I am currently using LPRing, but I have heard PDQ is better.... Does PDQ work with Samba?? What is everyone using to print with Samba (and from Linux)?? Is anyone else using: * a HP Deskjet 690C (or even HP Deskjet 6XX) * a Brother HL-1050 Laser ..that could provide me with config files??? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Hello, Oops...I replied, and forgot to send to the list, so here we go :)> A quick comment on your smb.conf - it is 'printing = lprng', not > 'printing = lpring':-)> Now for a potentially more useful comment - are you sure that LPRng > installed the binaries in /usr/bin? By default, they go into > /usr/local/bin.On my machine, /usr/local/bin is a symlink to /usr/bin :) Anyone any other ideas?? Thanks..

Ian, Try adding the 'check_for_nonprintable@' flag to your printcap as in the following example. prt1730 :cm=HP Deskjet 870Cse in Comm (JZaher) :lp=172.16.1.99%9100 :check_for_nonprintable@ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/prt1730 :mx0:sh :if=/var/spool/lpd/prt1730/filter> Ian, > A quick comment on your smb.conf - it is 'printing = lprng', not > 'printing = lpring' > > Now for a potentially more useful comment - are you sure that LPRng > installed the binaries in /usr/bin?

Dear List, I've got an printer setup that I need some help with. I've got an NT 4 workstataion that has a printer attached to it (\\nt4ws\print) this machine only allows 10 users to connect. I have more than 10 users that need to print to that machine. So I thought "I'll just pipe everyone through Samba". I can create a printer share on Samba but I cannot get files sent to the Samba print share (\\initium\print) to pipe over to \\nt4ws. If someone has experience with this or can provide some insight that would be goovy. My Samba computer is Red Hat 7.2 My Printer is an HP LaserJet 4000, my users that need to print are running NT4/W2K workstations. Thanks in advance. /B
