Dear Sir
Thanks for reading this. Hope you will help me.
I am using samba 1.9.17p2 on SunSparc-20 running solaris2.5.1 for
printing and file sharing with PC-network. File sharing is working
fine but I want to print to a WfWg printer from Solaris. So I have
used script smbprint.sysv and try to print. But I am facing
following problems:
1- I can only do command line printing e.g lp <file name>
2- I can't print from Xwindows and following message appears on
screen: " NO print filter defined..."
3- There is no word wraping and long lines are truncated.
4- How can I define filter according to my needs and how can i
attach it with my samba printer?
4- I have installed TCP32b on WFWG print server.
I am trying to print from unix to WFWG from last couple of weeks but
could not succeeded. Now i become furstrate and need your help to
overcome this problem.
Waiting to hear from you.
Thanks

Following is the script which I am using.
!/bin/sh
shift;shift;shift;shift;shift
# now the argument list is just the files to print
server=Ps1
service="HP LASERJET"
password=""
CRLFSTR="\033&k2G"
FFEED="\014"
(# NOTE You may wish to add the line `echo translate' if you want
automatic
# CR/LF translation when printing.
echo translate
echo "print -"
echo $CRLFSTR
cat $*
echo $FFEED
) | /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient "\\\\$server\\$service" $password
-N -P -I a.b.c.d > /dev/null
exit $?
