similar to: Printing. The REAL jobname. :)

Hi All, i'm still trying to persue this thing with the real jobname getting logged. i want to have the following (as per the example in the man page): print command = echo Printing %J %c %p >> /tmp/job.log; lpr -P %p %s; rm %s funnily enough the cups manages to get the username that submitted the job, but i can't see a % thing to pass the username though to a log file. i might

Since upgrading to Fedora Core 3 the jobname for the files being printed to our PDF CUPS backend have become the Samba jobname as in "SMBPRN.888009.hjdcl" instead of the application filename such as "Microsoft Word - Document1.DOC". This stops us from providing a properly-named PDF file to our users. Our other server that is still on Core 1 does not have this problem.

There has been some correspondence about getting the file names displayed with lpq instead of the smbXXXXX name. The -J option works, but, with some documents, notably Microsoft Word and Corel WP9, the application sends a long preamble, such that the file name is never seen in the queue when listed with lpq. eg: Microsoft Word - PRINT FILE NAME.doc So, to fix this up, at least for word documents,

Hi, I try to create PDF files with an modified script from Buchan Milne and have some problems with the Jobname var %J. Because it is better for the users to find an file with an similar name as the original document I'm looking for a way to read out %J, cut some unnessasary stuff and use the rest as new file name. The problem is: In %J in some circumstances is not the complete Jobname as

Hello, I have samba set up on a solaris 8 box. I set up a printer using an lpr port. When I send a job from a client through the queue on the samba box to the printer, the job shows up on the printer queue with the job name changed to a generic name such as smb20***. Does any one know why this is happening. Is there a configuration file that needs to be edited to allow the job name to pass through

L.S. Situation: I am running Samba 2.2.7a as my DPC in a small business network with win98/ME clients. A big Fiery printer/scanner/copier device is also part of this network. It has its own printserver. Since Win98/ME can not print to an LPD queue directly, I have setup Samba to spool the printjobs send by the clients to the Fiery server. All is working well, but there is a small problem. This

Hi, all. I'm trying to create a PDF queue... or, rather, I already have a homebrew solution I hacked together with an lprng filter, and it doesn't work too well. The solution at www.linuxgazette.com/issue72/bright.html, which uses the smb.conf and "print command" paramaters, appears to be much more elegant, but has one major shortfall: I don't see any way to get the

Hi all, I've got a nice working pdf samba printer emailing the right person thanks to PeteFwee and David F and am doing a little testing. I've just realized that it's set to Letter when it creates the .pdf file. and i've googled till i'm blue in the face and can't see any options that says page size or something similar. i'm running ghostscript 7.04. does anybody

Hi I am currently using Samba 3.0.11 and Cups 1.1.23 with Windows PostScript drivers and manufacturer PPDs on WinXP clients. When I print multiples copies of a document from a Windows XP box, the number of copies appearing in the Cups "page_log" file always takes the "1" value but the printer prints the correct number of copies. When I do the same on Linux (with the lpr

I have set up a samba server which i also want to use as printserver using cups. I have configured a samsung printer using cups and am also sharing it via samba by having the printer share in smb.conf file. Now the problem is that when i configure this printer on the windows machine and then send job to this server machine the page_log file is not being updated. Hence i m losing on the printer

Hi all... I need some docs about how to intergrate cups with samba... I have install samba 3.2.5 and cups 1.3.8 on Debian Lenny system. I have install a printer ( Ricoh Aficio 3245C PS ) and have work fine... But when I follow the job on /var/log/cups/page_log, I always see that number of copies is 1, doesn't matter if the jobs has 5 or 10 pages... It's always show 1 on page_log... I

Hello, I have a new RH 7.2 installation (kernel 2.4.7-10) with Samba 2.2.1a and I can't print from my Win2K box. I get an "Access denied: unable to connect" error from the printer entry in Windows. The logs don't seem to be helping me. Here's my smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = MYGROUP server string = Samba SMB Server interfaces = 192.168.1.1/24 127.0.0.1/24 hosts

I'm trying to get pgfSweave up and running. Hopefully I can get it working from within LyX, but first I'm just trying to get the simplest possible thing (compiling one of the example files in the pgfSweave package) to work. I'm using the example that comes in the pgfSweave package unmodified, but for reference I copied it to: http://pastebin.com/tW4RL6fs Configuration: R version

I'm tinkering with this mod to my smb.conf, and can't get the actual filename to be displayed in the printed job history. It's adapted from one Joel put out on the list last year. My impression is that it works for everyone in the world but me.... All that ever shows up is smbprn.yada.yada... in the printer's history of printed jobs. print command = echo %J %p %s >>

A couple of days ago I set up my printer on my FreeBSD server and set it up so I could print from my FreeBSD client. This all works very well, printing from botht the server and the FBSD client. However, I also have samba set up for file serving with an XP box. I have been trying for quite some time now to set samba up to enable me to print from the XP client. My situation at the moment is that

I'm trying to install print drivers onto my samba 3.0.28 server (Fedora Core 8) following the Add Printer Wizard Driver Installation directions here: http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html#id388379 Unfortunately, when I try to add the print driver, I receive a Windows "Add Printer Driver Wizard : Unable to install Ghostscript PDF, Windows

Following a working fine samba install, I just did a new installation of samba 2.2.8 on FreeBSD 4.8(s) and while I can explore the network and I can copy files to unix, I cannot print to unix.
