[Samba] Can't print multiple copies from XP to Samba 2.2.8a on Linux, hp 932c
We've been using samba for in house domain serving for a small network of XP machines. We have an HP 932c shared via samba 2.2.8a on a Linux box. We loaded the drivers that come with windows on the print$ share for automatic installation. In samba, the print command is "lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r". Printing single copies works fine. When we hook the printer directly to a xp machine, printing multiple copies does work, but printing over the network to samba will only ever print a single copy no matter what. Anyone have any ideas of things we can try? The XP machines all have the latest service packs and are up to date on updates. I tried the hp drivers from their website since some postings seem to indicate it is a driver problem. Any help is appreciated. -Chris

Make sure that you've initialized the printer data for that queue on the Samba box. Also make sure that you can print multiple copies after to a a local version of the printer even after unselecteding the "Enmable Advanced Printer Features" checkbox in the advanced tab of the printer properties window. It could be that this feature only works with EMF jobs and not standard RAW/PCL/PS. Just a guess. cheers, jerry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAx26rIR7qMdg1EfYRApmUAKDpNKjDKSlk4EAlDVNS5uCNw87yrwCeJ5PU X08DmaEyNfxss+UuAabsgMA=4yCt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
