Windows PC printer
Setting smbprint_LS filter in the /etc/printcap file, to print on a printer
connected to Windows PC (which is ok on other Linux Slackware and RADHAT
versions), no sistem error is generated but the printer don't works and we
receive, in /var/mail/root, the following mail:

printcap file

# This printcap is being created with printtool v.3.41

# CR/LF translation when printing.

) | /usr/bin/smbclient "//paghe/HP1200" "" -U

If smbprint_LS1 is used, with same parameters, as filter of echo or cat
statments, it is correct and the print is ok.
Example:
echo -en "\rHELLO\r\f" | /usr/bin/smbprint_LS1
print ok!
cat file | /usr/bin/smbprint_LS1
print ok!
smbprint_LS1 filter file
logfile=/tmp/smb-print.log
/usr/bin/smbclient "//paghe/HP1200" "" -c "print
-" -U "paghe" -N >> $logfile
#end of /usr/local/samba/bin/smbprint
Installing the printer with YAST2 as Samba Printer, with the same parameters
used in the filter, the printer works if we use LS and and LS-ascii, but there
are no possibility to send different character sequences, because these
sequences are not recognized (but the sequence is correct!).
If we use LS-raw the printer don't work and we obtain the same result as we
use our filter smbprint-LS.
