[Samba] my printers are still paused in Win2k and WinNT 4.0

Tue Jul 16 15:50:13 GMT 2002

Shane,

Here's a snip from another LPRng user,
sthom, having the same problem:

-----------------------------------------
Thanks for the help. The version of Lprng that ships with RedHat 7.3 is
3.8.9, but I had to change the default anyway. It was difficult to figure
out which file to edit (printcap, printcap.local, lpd.conf, so I tried all
of them. It turns out /etc/lpd.conf was the culprit, I added the following
after the default:
# default done_jobs= 1 (INTEGER)
done_jobs=0
-----------------------------------------

Try that, and see if it also works for you...
Jim

Jim & the samba list
First off thanks for looking at this!!!! ... I have the following
information the first is using the lpr/lpd print file transfering.
1.) My company has a mix of HP printers from 4m plus to 4500 HP lasers. This
error occurs between all of the printers. For testing I choose two HP 4m
plus printers for testing..

2.) Yes, I downloaded the lastest firmware to the netdirect cards using hp
download manager. Current firmware levels on both test printers is -->Model
J2552B Firmware is A.08.40

3.) I am using the MS clients for the test server. 

4.) I have tried to use the direct tcp method of printing and it works great
but I still have the same print paused problem. It doesn't seem to matter
what method I use to print LPD/direct TCP.

1.  What types of HP printers are they?

2.  Is the firmware on the JetDirects up to date?

3.  Are you using the HP or MS driver for the clients?

4.  Are you using ":rp=9100" or ":rp=raw" in printcap?
(post your printcap, and we'll look it over)

5. Do you have "guest ok=yes" on the printer entries?

6.  Are you using disable spoolss= "yes" or "no"?

Hello,
It seems that I am in printer hell once again :) I am trying to sort out
some printer problems with our UNIX server. The basic problem is this. I
have a test server to K.I.S.S the problem. On this server I have defined two
queues which are  csqlis and HPfinley. csqlis seems to work correctly and
displays ready.  HPfinley always reads Paused on win2k and NT40 clients. The
output of the lpq command is 
csqlis:
[root at localhost etc]# lpq -Pcsqlis
Printer: csqlis at localhost 'This is  a test' (dest hp at csqlis.pa-ucl.com)
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
JetDirect lpd: no jobs queued on this port

HPfinley
[root at localhost etc]# lpq -Phpfinley
Printer: HPfinley at localhost (dest hp at fin-office-laser.pa-ucl.com)
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
JetDirect lpd: no jobs queued on this port
[root at localhost etc]#

I am running the following revs for software
RED HAT 7.3 
LPRng 3.8.12
Samba -2.2.5 with the parse_sec_patch
I have also added done_jobs=0 to the lpd.conf and printcap and
printcap.local files
Any help on this isssue would be apprecated. I am stuck with this problem.
Considering that the lpq output looks the same to me.

                                        Shane
