Hello!
I´ve got trouble to print via Samba. But read to the end to
understand:
My printer (a Canon BJC 620) is connected to a Win98 box. Its
network name is canon. The /etc/printcap entry is:
---/etc/printcap---
lp|smb|canon:\
:cm=unser Drucker:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/smb:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/smb/acct:\
:if=/usr/local/samba/bin/smbprint:\
:mx=0:\
:lp=/dev/null:
---/etc/printcap---
I´m using the standard /etc/smb.conf printer settings as the
follow:
---/etc/smb.conf---
[global]
printing = BSD
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
workgroup = WOHER
interfaces = eth*
map to guest = Bad User
keepalive = 30
logon script = %U.bat
domain logons = Yes
os level = 2
domain master = True
kernel oplocks = No
[printers]
path = /tmp
comment = All Printers
printable = yes
create mask = 0700
---/etc/smb.conf---
Now I can print text files from the Linuxbox to win98. This works
fine BUT that´s not, what I want to archieve. I´ve got a 2nd
Win98 box that is supposed to use this printer via Samba (the
Win98 boxes work on different times). So Samba´s job is to spool
the printing job.
I can see the printer in the "Neighbourhood", I can install it
and it also starts to print the first 2 lines, but no more. It
just stopps. Do you have any idea, what can be changed to make it
usable. The orig. Printertool cannot be used, it´s looking for a
second share "wps", but copying the files doesnt work. Also
printer drivers without this tool dont help.
Thanks for any idea.
Bye. Stefan
