I am having problems printing from Win95 and WinNT 4.0. I have everything
else running fine. I have noticed that the print jobs do end up on the
Linux server, they just never get printed. I can manually print them with
lpr. I have included part of my smb.conf and princap for review. After
reading the man pages, FAQ and HOWTO, I added these lines to the smb.conf
file in the global section:
; Printer configuration
printing = bsd
print command = /usr/bin/lpr
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
I don't know if I need them all, but they haven't helped.
Included samples:
******************************************
Part of my smb.conf:
; Printer configuration
printing = bsd
print command = /usr/bin/lpr
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
; *******************************************************************
; ********************** Network printer shares *********************
; *******************************************************************
[Technology]
comment = Technology printer
path = /var/spool/lpd/lp
public = yes
writeable = yes
printable = yes
[Marketing2]
comment = Marketing printer 2
path = /var/spool/lpd/lp
public = yes
writeable = yes
printable = yes
And my printcap:
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL ljet3 300x300 letter {} LaserJet3 Default 1
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:
##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE ljet3 300x300 letter {} LaserJet3 Default 1
Marketing2:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:rm=129.93.31.7:\
:rp=text:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/filter:
Thanks for any suggestions.
