Hi list,
I have troubles with printing on a HP Deskjet 1220C (connected on
network through jet direct device).
I have a print server, which use LPRng and allow clients to print on
this 1220c printer as well as laserjet printers.
If client is Linux, I can print on all printers. So I guess my LPRng
config is good.
Another server runs Samba 3. This server's printcap redirect jobs to my
print server. So I have:
Win client <-> Samba 3 server <-> Print server <-> Printers
If my Win client (2k) wants to print on a Laser printer, it prints.
(though I have a little issue: windows always says that I'm going to
print twice the pages. I mean, if my print job is 3 pages, Windows says
"6 pages" but only 3 is printed)
Anyway, it prints.
But if I want to print on Deskjet 1220c, nothing happens.
In smb.conf, if I use
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p %s
then my job is not deleted on server, so I try to print it with command
line like this:
lpr -Php1220c /var/spool/lpd/samba/smbprn.00000012.rG1Kms
But even like this, nothing prints. (lpr -Php1220c /etc/passwd works)
It's like there was a problem in the job. So I tried
use client driver = yes
and installed the driver on the windows box, but the result is the same.
I know that I can't share a deskjet printer on a NT4 server when I use
win2000 clients...
Somebody has the same troubles?
Thanks.
A. Paul
