Problems with a printer

[Julien PANTALEO]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with a network printer which is directly connected to a hub.
It's named "EPSON_NET" with 192.168.2.13 as IPaddress and I have disabled
NetBIOS Interface.
I managed to install it on my server (Linux RH 6.2 with Samba 2.0.6) and the
printcap file is the following

lp|EPSON_NET:\
            :sd=/var/spool/lpd/EPSON_NET:\
            :mx#0:\
            :sh:\
            :lp=:\
            :rm=192.168.2.13:\
            :rp=EPSON_NET:\
            :af=/var/spool/lpd/EPSON_NET/compta:\
            :lf=/var/spool/lpd/EPSON_NET/log.error:\
            :if=/var/spool/lpd/EPSON_NET/filter:

Printings are correctly done from the server. I would like to share this printer
with a workstation connected to the network. So i modified the smb.conf file
with those lines :

[EPSON_NET]
        comment = Julien's printer
        guest ok = Yes
        path = /tmp
        printer = EPSON_NET
        public = No
        writable = Yes
        printable = Yes
#        print command = /usr/bin/lpr -s -PEPSON_NET

After restarting samba server, EPSON_NET was visible in network neighbourhood.
So i installed it on the workstation and there was no problem.
I tried to print a document and it was correctly done except that an error window
appeared, coming from "Epson Status Monitor 3". It meant there was
communication error and it asked me to verify connections.

So what's the problem ?

Thank you for your help.

PS : excuse me for my bad english.
