Dear listmembers, I have a samba-2.2.8a installation on a linux system printing on two remote printers. The printcap is built up in such a way that local printers exist that forward their data to the remote printers. Additionally I have set up a file entitled "/etc/samba/smbprintcap" containing two entries that refer to valid printers within the /etc/printcap file. In /etc/samba/smb.conf I set printing=LPRNG. Printing is functional. However, all the windows 2k clients say in the printers dialog "access denied, unable to connect" when trying to gather information on the two printers I tried to set up. Moreover, some of the M$-drivers for those specific printers are non functional because they obviousely expect some "feedback" from the printers they do not get. Therefore I always use postscript printer drivers and ghostscript for certain deskjet models (i.e. dj1220). This yields only sub-optimal results, but it works. Am I doing something wrong in my configuration? Many thanks for your efforts in advance, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- ________________________________________________ HARMAN BECKER AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS Dr.-Ing.
