I have a bit of a problem, however, I am not
sure if it has been solved, or what.
I have:
RedHat Linux 7.2
samba version 2.2.1a
Client machine is Windows NT 4.0
(Service Pack 5.0)
Printer: using an NT driver on an NT machine
configured to print to the port-'file'.
problem:
I am trying to print a file on a samba file server
to a "printer". When the file is stored on
an NT machine, I get the dialog box that asks
for output file location. If I print the file from samba,
I don't get the prompt and printing fails.
I have looked through the mailing list and haven't
found anything simluar. I also looked at the
recent fixes to samba, but haven't seen anything
that deals with this problem. Sometimes, NT seems
to write a file called "Ne01:", could that be part of the
problem.
In both cases, the win32 function 'StartDoc' return 1,
it just doesn't display the dialog box.

Hello does anyone have an example printcap config to print to a file? I need this because I use the pdfprint script posted here earlier but if you print to that printer the program that prints hangs until the program finishes.

What format do you want the file to be converted into? Joel On Wed, Sep 18, 2002 at 08:53:50PM +0200, Sander van Vliet wrote:> The print jobs arrive in PostScript.

Well, the printcap below, and the print filter: #!/bin/bash ps2pdf - and a file /var/spool/lpd/text/textprint with chmod 777 works fine for me to convert postscrpt to pdf and save it to the file. You may have to mess with std in and out with the ps2pdf command. So, what was the problem again?
