Help: Samba printing from w2k. Works fine but no paper from printer!
Hello All,
I have samba 2.0.6 running on RH6.2 serving a small workgroup with a
few machines, a few shares and one printer. The file shares are working
perfectly. All of the other machines on the network are win2000 boxes.
The problem I have is that the printing is not working. A file can
be printed from lpr on the linux box fine. When I print a doco from a
windows box it says that the printing has completed successfully, the
printed file also appears in the /var/spool/lpd/lp directory (which then
prints out perfectly if I run an lpr command on it). But the printer
does not get sent the file to be printed.
So all is fine, but still I have no paper comming out of the
printer!
Any help would be appreciated, my smb.conf file appears below.
Cheers,
Brad Goldsmith.
