> Hi There
> 
> I recently upgrade to samba 2.2.1a, and now I have the following print
> problems:
> 
> In a Win2K command and cmd window
> type filename > lpt1	works
> print /d:lpt filename	works
> copy /b filename /b lpt1	does not work! I get a file not found error.
> With or without the /b´s
> 
> also
> 
> type filename > lpt1 & type filename > lpt1 does not work either. The file
> is printed once and then I get file not found error.
> 
> For historical reasons we need to use a very old Quick Basic program, that
> needs to print invoices. Some of the are needed in duplicates which is
> handled something like this(I am not a basic programmer so the command may
> not look exactly as stated):
> shell("copy" + filename$ + "lpt1")
> shell("copy" + filename$ + "lpt1")
> 
> Again the first print succeeds and the second fail. I the second print is
> delayed more than 12-15 sec everything is fine. I takes about 10-11 sec
> for the printer to print a page.
> 
> I get the same result with Win2K a different patch levels, and the printer
> have not been changed during the upgrade of samba.
> 
> I hope someone can give me an explanation.
