Dear samba-team!
We have problems with smbclient in the following conditions:
SuSe Linux 7.3 -> Samba 2.2.1a
Windows XP Client with shared Printer
We are creating HPLIII-Printoutfiles an send them to samba_print ..... for
printout on the workstation?s printer.
It`s working sometimes, but not allways.
We found out that the problem was reportet in /tmp/smb-print.....log
samba_print calls smbclient and sends "print -" to the prompt
smb> and
redirects the stdin form the printfile
Sometimes it does not send "print -" and all sequences of the
HP-printfile
are interpreted as commands!
After a lot of messages "command not found" the process is waiting for
a
exit command / but this command was not sent and so it`s hanging....
The funny thing is, that it`s depending on the printoutfile if it`s working
or not. I think it?s a timing problem, that "print -" was sent as
first
command or the printfile is faster. (?)
What can we do?
Best regards
