Hi lprng, samba I'm sending this message to both samba amd lprng becuase I'm not sure who's to blame ;-) My setup: samba-2.06 on Linux SuSE 6.3, LPRng-3.6.13, IFHP-3.3.10., clients: Win95b, Win98, NT 4.0 When I print file that contain umlauts in the file name then the file gets spooled to the /tmp directory as it should, BUT all the umlauts, accents, or what ever you call this funny little things ontop of, or below the letters, have VANISHED and the file just sits there and is not processed by lpr. I suppose lpr gets the file name it should print WITH umlauts but since such a file name does not exist it can't do anything. Where do I start looking? I can create file names with umlauts on the network drives that are connected to the very same server. They turn out correct!
