I have a samba print server working just fine.
I would like to make all printers automatically collate.
I can do this with no problem from unix:
lpr -o Collate=true
Also, I can add the following to a <printer> block in
printsvr:/etc/cups/printers.con:
<Printer someprinter>
...
Option Collate true
</Printer>
When I print from, say, my desktop, multiple copies are printed
collated. However, it doesn't seem to work from a windows client.
Since it seems to work from unix clients, I think the "problem" is with
samba.
Not sure what other info you need...
CentOS 5.0
cups 1.2.4
samba 3.0.23
samba config is pretty much just like what is described at:
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html
Specifically,
[global]
workgroup = WKGRP
server string = Samba Server
security = user
load printers = yes
printcap = cups
printing = cups
cups options = raw
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
dns proxy = no
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = yes
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
guest ok = yes
public = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
printer admin = root
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /etc/samba/drivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
public = yes
read only = yes
write list = root
Added printers with:/usr/sbin/lpadmin \
-p someprinter -E \
-D "HP LaserJet 1200 (B&W)" \
-L "Some Spot" \
-m HP/LaserJet_1200-pxlmono.ppd \
-v socket://printer.example.com:9100
Any thoughts? More info needed?
TIA
