similar to: PDQ printing (network)

Hello, ** Please reply directly to ian@ichilton.co.uk ** Does anyone use PDQ for printing with Samba? If so, please could you tell me what options to use in smb.conf?? Mainly, what do I use for the printing option? Can I just use: printing = bsd print command = pdq -P%p %s; rm %s Or, can I not use PDQ, because there is no setting for it on the printing parameter??? Thanks! Bye for Now,

I'm having trouble printing to a HP LaserJet 6MP Postscript printer. I'm using CUPS and normal UNIX printing works fine. I've tried to configure SAMBA for point and click printing. That all seemed to go okay except that what is printed is: ===================================================== -12345X@PJL JOB @PJL SET RESOLUTION = 600 @PJL SET ECONOMODE = OFF @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE =

I have a network with 1 Linux box (host), 2 Win98 machines, and 1 WinXPHome machine. There is a Deskjet attached to the Linux box, and an HPLJ Postscript attached to one of the PCs. Until recently I was running RH7.1 with Samba 2.x and all computers could print to both printers (which, obviously, were shared). I have recently rebuilt the LInux box, and in the process installed Fedora, with Samba

I've about run out of ideas and need some help. I have an HP OfficeJet 7110 installed on my Fedora Core 3 box. From Linux, it prints perfectly, the Test Page works, I can print from Mozilla/Thunderbird/Firefox, KDE applications, and even Emacs, all without any issues whatsoever. The problem is I can't seem to get it to work when I share the printer to Windows. I've shared it to

10/10/2007 After consulting with some local Linux consultants, we have concluded that Corel Draw does not print under WINE because it detects the printer as Postscript, converts the file to Postscript, and sends the file to CUPS, which then converts the file to Postscript, again, and sends it to the printer which prints garbage. The consultant found a way to make a couple changes to WINE

... Moved from R-help ... Thank you for your suggestion, Professor Ripley. Postscript does seem like the way to go for printing line widths correctly in Windows. On Linux I am using a simple dev.print() wrapper (as suggested), with a pipe to lpr. However, I had an extremely difficult time getting postscript printing under windows. ?postscript recommends the RedMon suite of tools for printing

I know that printing on Linux is somewhat of an art form, but I have a fairly simple problem. I used the following command to configure a networked printer (HP LaserJet 8150): lpadmin -p name -E -v socket://name -m laserjet.ppd -u allow:all - u deny:none This added and enabled the printer, and I can print to it using the print command from within a GUI application and PostScript

I'm running a Debian Woody system with Samba 3.02 from backports.org. What I'm trying to do is set up the Adobe Postscript Windows drivers to a Epson printer I have with CUPS and Samba. I have no problem printing through CUPS on the UNIX side, nor printing through Samba on the Windows side as long as I manually install the drivers. I want set the system up so that when a new Windows

Hello, I just finished to read chapter 22 of the samba howto. This chapter explains very well how printing from a win client via samba and cups work. If I understood it right, printing a file from windows to a non postscript printer via cups driver, samba an cups works like this: - application prints generating an EMF file ( windows spooler ) - the cups ( or adobe ) printer driver converts

This is my way of filtering ^D and PCL headers out of samba jobs on a solaris 7 system. It assumes that all your printers are capable of postscript, and that you are using PS drivers on any printers are not PCL capable. 1) Add a declaration of pcl capability to the relevant printers: lpadmin -p hp8000 -I 'simple,postscript,pcl' Choose which printers you do this to carefully, Using

Hi all, Yesterday I reported rather vaguely about the printing issues I was experiencing on our local network after the latest kernel update. Today, I solved it, and I'm relaying this information such that others can potentially benefit from it if they run into a similar problem. :) Firstly, I contacted Xante support and they told me I was the first to ask Linux questions; they

Hi, I'm using Wine 0.9.27 and Ubuntu 6.06. I've problems when printing from Delphi Apps that use QReport (the default reporting engine for most Delphi versions), and after some hacking I've perhaps isolated the trouble: it seems that Delphi printing over a Canvas works only if I show the system PrintDialog or the PrinterSetupDialog befor printing, and I press OK in this dialog:

Hi, I have some trouble getting files printed on my Solaris 8 machine running Samba 2.0.5. The client is a winxp installed laptop, the printer is configured as a postscript printer (Minolta PagePro 12 PS), although it is a PCL printer (Minolta PagePro 6).

Hi, I can't print to a file from an application running under Wine, and I don't know if it is the application, the internal PostScript driver, or my configuration that is causing the problem. To complicate matters, although I know unix/linux fairly well, I have avoided using any Microsoft products and do not understand the *.ini file format or the registry. The system I'm trying to

Hi all, I'm sorry to have to ask a probably straightforward question, but I'm stuck at it, and I need access to the printer for my work...:/ The situation: When first installing CentOS, I manually installed a networked printer, and that worked fine. AFAIR I installed it using the IP address, and the generic Postscript driver. The printer in question is a Xante Accelawriter 3N. The

Alvaro, The Postscript output from R will produce output as good as your printer. It is best to have a printer with a Postscript interpreter built in, as the software conversions often found in Windows printer drivers can be pretty wobbly. One advantage of R Postscript is that it doesn't tack a Postscript reset (^D) on the end of every file. As for word processors which handle Postscript

My networked printer has developed a fault and has to be returned to the manufacturer, so I have to go back to a usb printer attached to my file server. In the past I worked happily with a remote printer, but I'm having no success at all today, and could do with some prompting. /var/log/cups/error_log says: I [02/Jun/2008:17:02:21 +0100] [Job 276] Adding start banner page
