Unable to print correctly html on Windows Printer (SMB) Share
Hi All, After connecting a HP DeskJet 950C printer to my NT Server and configuring it as a share printer, I used samba and printconf to connect to it. I setup the printer in printconf as a Samba (SMB) Printer/Windows Printer (SMB) Share After restarting the lpd daemon, I can print successfully the ASCII test page and other linux files, e.g. smb.conf, /etc/fstab, etc. My problem is that I am unable to print correctly html pages from my Netscape browser or emails either. In the print line of Netscape I put the following; lpr -P <printer_queue_name> The [ Printers ] section is as follows; [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes create mode = 0700 I include the testparm log for completeness, Any ideas?

ASSUMING that you are using a linux/unix box as a client to an NT server: 1. You don't need samba to print to the NT client. You use smbclient to do this. 2. The answer lies in your printcap file. You need to have a printer definition which will filter your print jobs on your unix/linux client before being sent to the NT server. Netscape from unix/linux sends postscript files, for example. I don't know anything about the HP 950. Is is a postscript printer? Post your /etc/printcap, and, if using linux, which flavor. Joel

Unable to print correctly html on Windows Printer (SMB) Share
Hi, I thought I gave sufficient info, sorry. I'll include the /etc/printcap file below. I'm using Linux RH7.1. & Samba 2.2.2 My printer is as far as I can tell, at least from the spec's, is not a postscript printer. How do I setup a printer definition which will filter my print jobs to enable me to print from within Netscape? How do I use smbclient (note 1 below) from within Netscape to print html pages? Regards, Brendan. # /etc/printcap # # DO NOT EDIT!
