Hello,
I am setting up a FreeBSD 2.2.5 machine with Samba 1.9.17p2 as a print
server. For this it is important to get the printer comments right, but I
can't get it to work properly. This is my printcap file:
# @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
# $Id: printcap,v 1.5 1996/10/13 16:52:33 joerg Exp $
lp0|Graphtec GP2002:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lp0:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:mx#0:sh:sf:
#
lp1:HP Laserjet III:\
:lp=/dev/lpt1:sd=/var/spool/output/lp1:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:mx#0:sh:sf:
#
lp2:OKI ML380:\
:lp=/dev/lpt2:sd=/var/spool/output/lp2:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:mx#0:sh:sf:
This is what I get when running smbclient -L on that machine:
...
Server=[ANDREW] User=[benst] Workgroup=[WORKGROUP] Domain=[WORKGROUP]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 1.9.17p2)
lp0 Printer Graphtec GP2002
lp1 Printer
lp2 Printer
printers Printer
...
As you can see, it only gets the comment right for lp0. How can I get the
comments for lp1 and lp2 right? I've tried various combinations in the
printcap file, but didn't succeed. According to the documentation, a print
alias that has a space in it is taken as a comment, but it doesn't seem to
work for lp[12].
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Ben
