I have trouble finding an error in my setup pertaining to printing via samba. SuSE 7.0/LPRng/Samba 2.0.7 Printing via Linux works. Sharing Linux drive with Win98 machine works too. Printing via Win98 works _only_ so far that the win98 print job is being put into /var/spool/samba (permissions:1777) but then is not printed out or deleted as intended. /etc/printcap: smurf:cm=Network Printer smurf:\ :lp=smurf.mydomain.com%9100:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P:\ :ifhp=model=hp2100,status@:\ :sh:\ :filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp:\ :mx#0 /etc/smb.conf: [global] workgroup = SHADOWWARRIOR guest account = nobody keep alive = 30 os level = 2 kernel oplocks = false security = user encrypt passwords = yes log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m lock directory = /var/lock/samba hosts allow = 192.168.1. interfaces = 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 load printers = yes [network-drive] path = /winmount comment = Network Drive create mode = 644 writeable = yes guest ok = yes [printers] path = /var/spool/samba print ok = yes printing = lprng printable = yes printcap file = /etc/printcap guest ok = yes public = yes print command = /usr/bin/lpr -U%U@%M -P%p -r %s lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -U%U@%M -P%p lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -U%U@%M -P%p %j lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M hold %p %j lpresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M release %p %j queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M -P%p stop queueresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M -P%p start [smurf] path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = yes printable = yes print ok = yes public = yes printing = lprng printer name = smurf print command = /usr/bin/lpr -U%U@%M -P%p -r %s lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -U%U@%M -P%p lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -U%U@%M -P%p %j lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M hold %p %j lpresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M release %p %j queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M -P%p stop queueresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M -P%p start On start of samba it says this in log.smb file: [2000/12/16 20:23:00, 1] smbd/server.c:main(641) smbd version 2.0.7 started.

Could it be an ifhp filter problem? I tried it all the last 5 days and I don't seem to find my problem. Help appreciated, Thanks, mk
