Hi all,
I'm running Solaris 7 with samba 2.2.7a and would like to
have samba printing in place so that PC client can print
from existing print queue "its_simx_local" on solaris
(created via jetadmin).
The print queue is visible in Windows Explorer. Using
Windows "Add Printer Wizard", I installed the HP printer
onto the PC client. However, there was no output on the
printer when I sent a print job from the PC client. Rather
the job is stuck in the path ("/usr/spool/samba" - mode 1777)
that I defined in the [printers] folder in smb.conf:
woodstock:/usr/spool/samba% file *
smbprn.000009.EZaOOL: ascii text
Here are the print related entries in smb.conf:
[global]
load printers = yes
printcap name = /usr/local/samba/lib/printcap
printing = sysv
print command = /bin/lp -c -d%p %s
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /usr/spool/samba
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
And the contents of /usr/local/samba/lib/printcap:
# cat /usr/local/samba/lib/printcap
its_simx_local:\
:bsdaddr=woodstock,its_simx_local,Solaris:
Any quick response would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Hong
