I have been struggling with samba and printing. My original post is at http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/msg72613.html. I since then, I built a 2nd box, but this time it is a samba 3.0.0 box. The same thing happens on the 3.0.0 box. The update is that this occurs on the lexmark printer using the Lexmark Z22/32 drivers. If I use a HP driver or a different driver, the job goes to the queue, but prints garbage. This is expected though. Is there a reason why the job does not spool with the lexmark driver? I deteted all the tdb file except the secrets.tdb and restarted the server. On a few occasions, I got the printer to print with the lexmark driver, but most of the time it failed. I downloaded the driver from lexmark's site. Printing a test page gives "Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooter for assistance? Unable to create a print job." I have disabled bidirectional support on the printer but it still does not spool. Copying a file directly to the printer share works. Am I missing something? What can I do to get it working. The printer wrked with the driver once, but I can't seem to get it to work again. Please help! Bob.
This also happens when I use the HP Laserjet 1000 driver. It is a samba issue or a driver issue? Is there a compatability issue with samba print servers and drivers? Bob.
