Hi all,
Since samba 2.0.7 (samba-2.0.7-21ssl.i386.rpm) in the RedHat 7.0
distro. When printing from win95 to a samba printer, the print file
appears in the spool directory (path=) with the same filename as it
had on the win95 client - ie not unique.
This causes loads of problems when more than one person is
printing the same document or the same person prints a document
more than once and quickly enought so that the first print job has'nt
finished processing ( why they can't use numcopies is a mystery -
see Excel 97 )
I have tried to write various wrapper scripts to make a quick copy of
the file to a unique filename before printing but it just aint quick
enough.
Can you tell me if this has been fixed in later releases and/or the
developers know about it? Any ideas would be appriciated.
Thanks for reading.
Bean.
