samba - Sep 2005 - Cannot print PDF-Files...

Hi,

I have a network with a Server running 3.0.14 (Debian sarge), which is
doing quite fine as a PDC and as a printer server (using cups). Almost.

Printing is working, I can print Windows test pages, I can print
from several applications, including MS office. But I cannot print
over the network from Acrobat Reader, not at all. If a network
printer is selected and used, than _nothing_ happens, not even
network traffic (but local printing works quite fine from Acrobat
Reader as well) . Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I don't
even know where I should start looking at...

The Windows machines use the "Digital turbo Printserver 20" printer
driver, as recommended somewhere in a HOWTO, and cups takes care of
the rest.

smb.conf is included (though most likely not really useful), if you need
some other information, please tell.

Regards,

Stefan

Hi,

Not everyone can. Some users (but only some) are told that the server
has no printer driver when they try to install one of the network
printers (which, of course is not true). For others, everything is
working fine and es expected.

With a sufficiently high log level I can see some suspicious lines:

|[2005/09/06 16:29:14, 10] printing/nt_printing.c:get_a_printer(4095)
|  get_a_printer: [Kleopatra] level 2
|[...]
|[2005/09/06 16:29:14, 10] printing/nt_printing.c:get_a_printer(4185)
|  get_a_printer: [Kleopatra] level 2 returning WERR_OK
|[2005/09/06 16:29:14, 5]
|rpc_server/srv_spoolss_nt.c:construct_dev_mode(4192)
|  BONG! There was no device mode!
|[2005/09/06 16:29:14, 8]
|rpc_server/srv_spoolss_nt.c:construct_printer_info_2(4261)
|  Returning NULL Devicemode!

The "BONG" messages seems a little bit irritating. Is this critical?
What does it mean, and how can I get rid of it?

Regards,

Stefan
