I have a samba network setup and am trying to print to an epson 3000 local
to the samba server from windows clients. LPRNG allows windoze drivers to be
used to print unfiltered (raw) to the linux printer. I have the Epson setup
as a generic raw print device with the following printcap:
lp:\
:rw:wh:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/raw:\
:fx=flp:\
The smb.conf section for printers is:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/lpd/lp
printable = yes
public = yes
browseable = no
writeable = no
create mode = 0777
[lp]
printable = yes
print command = lpr -b -P %p %s
writeable = yes
public = yes
browseable = yes
All the directories/files in the path are set to daemon/lp as user/group
respectively.
Attempts to print result in "Failed To Open File" error messages in the
Epson Spooler. This occurs when printing to spooler and direct to printer.
If anyone has experienced
this and knows where to look to correct I would appreciate it.
