HELP!! I have setup a REMOTE and SMB print queue on my linux box. The linux box appears via the browse menu in network neighborhood and I can select the printer, but when I tried to print from 2000 or nt4 O/S the following error message occurs when I tried to print via an application: "a startdocprinter call was not issed". I also cannot print a test page from nt? From linux server, I can print using the REMOTE print queue. I have executed "testprns" and it indicated the printer was valid. I just do not know what else to do? Note: I also created a guest account for the queue and set a SMB password. HELP!! I am trying to move all of the services provided on my nt server to a linux server. JL Cox
Doing the same NT to Linux move here, but I just set up 100 printers without any problems, and can print from my NTWS just fine. Did you use the Redhat printer configuration tool to set up you printer? What kind of printer is it? Is your smb.conf option "load printers=Yes"? Is the path to /etc/printcap correct? Can you send your smb.conf file so that I can take a look at it? -----Original Message----- From: Judy Cox [mailto:jlcox@newf.com] Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2001 3:33 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Cc: jlcox@newf.com Subject: printing from Windows NT to SAMBA queue HELP!!
