I have been using Samba as a print server successfully for quite some time. I have one issue that I can't seem to solve. We use a crappy piece of accounting software that requires the printer be set up with spool settings as: Start printing after last page is spooled. If start printing immediately is set, the checks do not print correctly. On a Windows computer, if I go to \\printerserver and then go inside the printers folder, I can set the driver and default settings for the printer. I can not get the "Start printing after last page is spooled" setting to stick. When I select it, close the dialog and then check the settings again, they go back to the default. Is there a way to accomplish this? I have tried this on just about every version of Samba 3.x up the the latest pre release. Thanks! Mike
why don't you make or use accounting software for linux.. ?? it save you the problem's.. got some examples for you, but this version uses mysql.. ? (combined with the mysql passwd backend...) l8r --------------------------------------------- Collen Blijenberg (MLHJ) Tuesday, March 2, 2004, 4:16:50 PM, you wrote: MS> I have been using Samba as a print server successfully for quite some MS> time.

That have to do with communication to the port. What you might have to do is to map a local lpt1: port and install a local printer (net use lpt1: \\server\printer). cheers, jerry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard ------------------------- http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team ---------------------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ---- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "If we're adding to the noise, turn off this song" --Switchfoot (2003) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://quantumlab.net/pine_privacy_guard/ iD8DBQFARf8NIR7qMdg1EfYRAsycAKDUoY93qPlwHlnwOlbeoLqXJ3jc6gCfZZ6+ UemcbEiX52VljD+/AQpXdUg=G+j2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
