samba - Nov 2004 - PDF Print From Windows 98

I've got a pdf script on the server that converts postscript to pdf files.
The script works and prints but only when I'm using a windows 2000 and up
station. Try the same user on a windows 98 machine and it doesn't work. I
get a stopped with print status 249 in the cups log. Even with logging set
to 2 same there isn't much more info. Anyone have this problem before.
Thanks.

I don't know if it's the same, but I had an issue a LONG time
ago with a Win9x client and PDF printing.

My script put the PDF files into /home/$user/PDF, but the 9x
clients were reporting $user in all caps.  For example, the
user "bob" became "BOB".  Since I only had one or two 9x
clients at the time, I just made a symlink from BOB to bob,
but I could have just as easily changed the script to
convert the username to all lower case.

I don't know if that's what you're facing, but maybe this
bit of info will help you.

HTH,
