Help, I cannot get printing to work and am running out of ideas. File
serving is OK.
server is RedHat 5.2/samba-1.9.18p10 with HP lasejet 4L connected to the
printing port
client is a windows3.1 with Lanman 2.2.
When I try to print from Word in windows3.1, I get an error :-
LPT1
Windows cannot write to this file. The disk may be full. Delete
any unwanted file, and then try again
If I then go to Printman -->Network connections, I get the error:-
WINFILE caused a General Protection Fault
in module NETAPI.DLL at 003.1B0C
and Printman will then quit.
In smb.conf, I have for printing as
[prn]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
Changing writable to yes doesn't doesn't work either..
/etc/printcap is set from printtool and have /var/spool/samba as the spool
directory.
One more thing, sometimes I find a file lpqxxxxxx in /tmp which contains
the line lpq : prn : unknown printer
Thanks
