Printing with samba + lpr

[Thomas Novin]

Hi.

After hours and hours of problems I finally got my
HP LaserJet IIIp to print via my samba server. The only
problem that remains is that lpr (or lpq perhaps?) doesn't
clean up in /tmp after printing. I've tried to find the
problem by debugging smbd with strace (with -f) to find
out what really happens. This is the only "error" i found
when searching after 'lpq.00113ec7' in my strace.out.

chmod("/tmp/lpq.00113ec7", 0666)        = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)

I couldn't locate any attempts to remove it so I really don't
know what's wrong since there aren't any parameters that
I have forgotten to pass along with lpq (like -r for remove or
something alike). Here follows my smb.conf, printcap & filter
files. Also I would like to know if it would be safe for me to
remove the raw section from my printcap?

Thomas.

# This is the output filter for use wth HP LaserJet I, III and III.
# It is called via the of entry in the generic_hp printcap entry.
# All that it does is send the escape sequence to the printer, so that:
#
# CR is mapper to CR
# LF is mapped to CR LF
# FF is mapped to CR FF
#
# and the first two lines reset the printer before each printing
#
# Observe, you must replace every instance of '^[' with "real"
# escape sequences. You create them with c-Q [ESC].
