Intel Printstation

[Samuel Liddicott]

[Was real pizza]

Just to keep all informed and try and drum up some advice;

The intel PrintStation which supports SMB over TCP/IP has these requirements
to work with samba:

The remote filename as written to by Samba must be:

\DEV\LPT1

and not stdin-1234 etc.

I don't know if this filename is calculated from any values the printstation
gives at connect time; but here is some useful dumps (the final line:
ServiceType=LPT1:  may be significant):

So.... is this hinting to samba that "\DEV\LPT1" should be the name of the
remote file?

Also samba uses SMBWriteX which seems not to be correctly implemented in the
PrintStation.  This info has been passed on to intel engineers who may or
may not care; but is there any way (at least for test purposes) to get Samba
to do SMBWrite instead of SMBWriteX ?

Is there and old version of Samba that does this that I can try?
