LPRng: FW: [Samba] my printers are still paused in Win2k and WinNT 4.0
It's not only the name, I just found out... I have an OfficeJet 570, and the following entry in my smb.conf would result in a persistent Paused status: [HP570] comment = OfficeJet 570 by HP450C Plotter path = /var/spool/samba/hp570 writeable = no printable = yes printer name = hp570 use client driver = no Changing the comment to "HP570 Color InkJet by HP450C Plotter" cleared the Paused status....thanks for the fix!!!
