Hi, we have a new printer here (OKI C5650). It's a GDI printer attached to our cups server. I installed the windows driver as root on the print share without any problems. However it's not working. When a user maps the printer only a message appears "printing not possible". So I looked at the printserver and compared everything with a local printer on my XP notebook and found the following: aruba:~ # rpcclient -U'_pkoch%PW' ancona -c 'getprinter C5650 2' drivername:[OKI C5650] printprocessor:[OPHJPP3] printprocessor:[winprint] attributes:[0xa40] attributes:[0x1848] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ WIN XP samba I used tdbtool to change the printprocessor, but it's still not working. How can I change the attributes entry, or locate it ? Also I found that the printprocessor file seem's NOT to be included. On my laptop it's installed under Windows\system32\spool\prtprocs\w32x86\ophjpp3.dll Can I add this somehow to the driver on the printserver ? Any help is welcome ! -- Bye, Peer _________________________________________________________ Max-Planck-Institut fuer Biogeochemie Dr. Peer-Joachim Koch Hans-Kn?ll Str.10 Telefon: ++49 3641 57-6705 D-07745 Jena Telefax: ++49 3641 57-7705 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hello, You can't use a print processor on a samba machine. When using client<->server printing with windows, the print processor is executed on the server (Samba). Because this is not possible (it's a windows program), the print processor on Samba is hard-wired to "winprint". This means no more than "I can't do anything with your data" to the client driver. Maybe (if your GDI printer does not needed direct communication with the driver), you can use Samba/CUPS to spool the data, but you have to install your driver locally - as far as the error is caused by the missing print processor. If I remember correctly, this also is mentioned in the Samba HOWTOs. Bye, Martin Dr.Peer-Joachim Koch schrieb:> Hi, > > we have a new printer here (OKI C5650).
