I've just installed an HP Jet Direct Network Print Server and configured
our SCO 5.0.2 box to print to it. I can send anything to it as long it's
from the Unix side. Then I configured Samba to share the printer and tried
sending a test page from one of the NT workstations but nothing came out
and I could find no error messages in the log files (even at debug level
9)! The log file just had a "Running the command `lp -c -onobanner -dlp3
/tmp/smb.spool/OPALEX.a000Ra; rm /tm
p/smb.spool/OPALEX.a000Ra' gave 0" message in it. I assume that the
exit
code of zero means that it thought everything went OK. Smbrun is in it's
proper place in /usr/local/samba/bin and the permissions look right
(rwxr-xr-x root sys), the lp command has the '-c' in it so that
shouldn't
be a factor. Also, there is another printer being shared by Samba that is
connected to the system's LPT port and I can print test pages to it just
fine. So as far as I can see this is some kind of a problem between the
Jet Direct stuff and Samba. Anyone have any ideas? I could really use
some help with this one.
