Hello,
I have configured a printer under samba, and I cannot seem to get the win clients
to be able to view the printer queue.
Our print system is "lprng" on solaris 2.5.1.
I have added the following to the smb.conf;
[ppdps1]
printable = yes
printing = lprng
print command = /usr/ucb/lpr -P%p %s
lpq command = /usr/ucb/lpq -P%p
lprm command = /usr/ucb/lprm -P%p %j
printer = ppdps1
postscript = yes
path = /var/spool/lpd/ppdps1
I pointed the modified the lpq command to output to a file to check its result.
more /tmp/lpq.test
ppdps1 is ready and printing

I seem to be getting the output, but the clients are not seeing it. Does anyone
have any suggestion on what may been wrong or what else I should check.
Thanks,
Kirk
