[Samba] progress :) still having trouble with win98 seeing shares on samba
Is the printer a postscript printer? If so, an easy approach is: cat file | enscript -Z -p - | smbclient //server/printershare -N -c "print -" Or, if text files are printing ok except for the staircase, this might work: cat file | sed "s/.*/&\r/" | smbclient //server/printershare -N -c "print -" You can also put this command into a print filter, without the cat file | part, and get the same result. You will have to supply the complete path name of the smbclient program, however. This has been discussed recently on this list. Check the archives, starting at samba.org. If you need more help about print filters, try the LPRng documentation or read the filter primer I wrote at the linux stepbystep site (search there for "hammer filter"). http://linux.nf/stepbystep.html Joel On Mon, Feb 04, 2002 at 12:19:22AM -0500, Fuzzy wrote:> > > we did manage an initial transfer with smbclient reading and writing > to win98 and we did get part of a file printed with: > > smb \> open x > smb \> print x > > it printed a few lines, but was stair-stepped. a couple of > questions... is there a way to get smbclient to queue to > the win98 printer queue without having to do it interactively? > is there an easy way to deal with the stair-step problem? > > ideally I'd like to be able to pipe a file into a script > or program to have it print the content of stdin, via > smbclient to win98 //eeyore/apollo (the printer's > "share" name). its an apollo p2200 (HP "brain"). > > I'm wondering if there is a way to create a printcap > defining the printer to provide for the <lf> to <cr,nl> > text conversion. > > the win98 client cannot see the samba shares (2 fat32 > disks and some directories on the unix system).

[Samba] progress :) still having trouble with win98 seeing shares on samba
For a print filter that will take care of the stair steping, try
sed -e 's/$/'`echo -ne '\r'`'/g'
