[Samba] NO print from linux to windows using samba
Hi to everyone,
I'm trying to print from linux (RH 7.1) to windoze (98/2000 Server) throught
lpd/smblient and I'm having troubles. I can print normally from win hosts
and if I check log files from the lp entry on /etc/printcap that uses smbprint
macro I don't get error messages. If I try to do the same operation using
smbclient command line interface (smb:> print) it prints blank pages (and it
has a full toner ...).
-/etc/printcap:
printer:
:sh:
:lp=/dev/null:
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/%P:
:if=/usr/bin/smbprint:
## use smbprint macro ##
-/usr/bin/smbprint
cat | /usr/bin/smbclient "//HOST/hp_printer" -N -c ""
>/tmp/smbcli.log
## send to the HOST share with no command/password ... ##
-/tmp/smbcli.log
SSL: Error error setting CA cert locations:

## ok, wright, no error!!! ##
I'm desesperated because it happens to me on two HP laser printers (pararell
port conection), both on the same netbios workgroup name and on different
windoze (windows 98 and 2000). If works fine if I use an CSMLPD program (but
it's not freeware and I wish use samba directly).
Please HELP!!!
P.D: I tried even to use to lastest samba tools package (2.2) and no way!!!
ANOTHER QUESTION: why "smbclient -L host" (where host is not
uppercase) do not work if I try to see windows98 shares and it works fine with
windows 2000 in both ways????
Yours ... someone travelling over the dessert

I don't fully understand your post, but: cat | /usr/bin/smbclient "//HOST/hp_printer" -N -c "" >/tmp/smbcli.log seems to be an odd command, since there is no command following -c. Don't you want: cat | /usr/bin/smbclient "//HOST/hp_printer" -N -c "print -" >/tmp/smbcli.log About those blank pages when you try this interactively with smbclient, is the FileToPrint properly formatted for your printer? I do not know what in the smbprint script, but you should read it and see what it is trying to do. Be sure that the print filter has the FULL CORRECT PATH NAME for smblcient. Does /tmp/smbcli.log contain any clues?
