We have recently upgraded from Samba 1.9.16 to Samba 2.0.06,
for serving files and printers to our NT4 clients.
Since the upgrade, printers that were working are no longer printing.
Most of the printers work fine, but printers that have a "print
command"
in the printer share are not printing, only spooling the file.
The print command works ok when typed into the command line.
I have narrowed the problem down to the %s substitution not working,
since if I replace %s with a file name, it prints that file from the right tray
and with the right paper size.
The printer shares are listed below. The hp8000 printer prints,
but hp8000_a3 and hp8000_a4 only spool the file.
As I said before, the print command works when typed on the command line.
Has anyone got any suggestions as to why this is happening
and how I can get around the problem.
Thanks in advance
-peter.
