Samba announces the wrong printer name, Brother-HL125 instead of
Brother-HL1250.
o Version:
samba-2.0.7-4 (RedHat RPM)
o smb.conf
...
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
...
printing = bsd
...
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
o /etc/printcap
lp|Brother|Brother-HL1250:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:\
:sh:
o testprn
$ testprns Brother-HL1250
Looking for printer Brother-HL1250 in printcap file /etc/printcap
Printer name Brother-HL1250 is valid.
o Printing to \\<sambaserver>\Brother-HL1250 works.
Samba displays Brother-HL125 as printer-name in Network Neighbourhood,
and printing to this printer obviously doesn't work.
