Printing seems like a popular subject here lately. ;)
I have an Epson Stylus Color IIs which I had connected to my Linux box.
It was mapped on my NT box, and everything worked fairly well (except
for the print quality--NT drivers for that printer suck). So, I bought
a new printer--an Epson Stylus Color 740. I hooked it up to Linux, made
the necessary changes to /etc/printcap, and printed some test pages.
Works great. So I restart samba.
Then, I go to NT and install the printer's drivers, open up NN, select
one of the three virtual printers I made, and install it. No problem.
However, when I tried to print a test page, the operation timed out.
Somehow or another, the printing subsystem is unable to find the
printers.
I captured one of the printers to the lpt1 port, and it works that way,
but I'm not able to use the other queues I made, for the various
resolutions. Has anyone had this problem before, or does anyone know
where I might look to fix it?
Using samba 2.0.5a. I didn't change smb.conf at all between the two
printers.
Under [global] I have:
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
my printers section:
;*******************section printers*****************
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = True
printable = yes
public = True
writable = no
create mode = 0700
