HP2100,smb,lprng /var/spool/samba

[Marcel Kunath]

I have trouble finding an error in my setup pertaining to printing via samba.
SuSE 7.0/LPRng/Samba 2.0.7

Printing via Linux works. Sharing Linux drive with Win98 machine works too.
Printing via Win98 works _only_ so far that the win98 print job is being put
into /var/spool/samba (permissions:1777) but then is not printed out or deleted
as intended.

/etc/printcap:

smurf:cm=Network Printer smurf:\
  :lp=smurf.mydomain.com%9100:\
  :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P:\
  :ifhp=model=hp2100,status@:\

On start of samba it says this in log.smb file:

[2000/12/16 20:23:00, 1] smbd/server.c:main(641)
  smbd version 2.0.7 started.

What is this printcap error?


/var/log/samba-log.lab2 as I tried to print:

[2000/12/16 20:26:28, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(550)
  lab2 (192.168.1.3) connect to service smurf as user nobody (uid=65534,
gid=65534) (pid 17653)

  lab2 (192.168.1.3) closed connection to service smurf

Somehow it seems my job gets spooled via samba to the Linux box but then it
doesn't start printing it. Could it be an ifhp filter problem? I tried it all
the last 5 days and I don't seem to find my problem.

Help appreciated,

Thanks,
