Hi All, I have a raw print queue configured in CentOS 4.4 for a printer connected to a Windows PC. The printer doesn't have a Linux driver of any sort, so this was the only way to print to it. The printer is an Okidata dot matrix printer. Users can print to it from a console application, but if they try printing to it from OOo Writer, the printer spits out reams of pages with what looks

I have an installation where we're replacing a rather old Linux box with a new one that has no parallel ports. The old box has two parallel ports going to Okidata printers. The IOGEAR GUC1284B USB to Parallel Adapter cable looks like it might be a simple solution to this, but I would like to know that it works before getting a couple. Comments?

Hi All, Has anyone currently, or in the past, setup an Okidata ML 395 (or any of Okidata's impact printers, for that matter) on a CentOS box? I'm having a miserable time with the ML 395: I'm looking for some tips. I have an AMD Opteron server running CentOS 4 (x86_64). CUPS is running happily for two Canon imageRunner's (via BrightQ Pro from Codehost). The Okidata ML 395 is

Hi, On our samba server (3.0.22-SuSE93) we have many printers installed with cups. Most of them are RAW queues to use within Windows. A few of them however, are filtered queues for Linux to use. I would like to EXCLUDE the filtered queues so Windows users cannot use them, but am not sure how to do this within the smb.conf.

Is it possible to do straight text printing from wine? I am trying to get a crufty old application working under wine to replace a windows box. It wants to print to an Okidata using plain ascii.

Hello to all. I have installed Samba-1.9.18p4 in a BSDI 2.1, operates enough well but have problems when trying to print in any printer connected to a PC with Win95 or WinNT. :-( Before Actualizar Samba-1.9.17 all worked well, there was config the printers as it indicate the file smbprint and could print perfectly in my Epson printer connected a Win95 and the Okidata printer connected WinNT.

Hi, I have samba 2.0.7 (on Redhat 6.2) running as a print server for a Foxpro for DOS application. When printing from Foxpro (win98 client with DOS printing turned on), the print job does not reach the samba server print queue until the user shuts down the application. If I share the printer on a windows box, printing occurs immediately within the Foxpro application. Here are some of my settings

Since last week the DNS doesn't resolve the delegated record for our storage *storage.domain.ltd* (192.168.26.xx) when being queried from clients in 192.168.29.0 which is our openvpn designated network.

Ok, I've managed to print to my HPDeskjet 694c attached to a Solaris 8 box running samba 2.2.2 from Win98.
