[Samba] printcap file

Suse Ver. 7.3 profesional

Windows PC printer

 

Setting smbprint_LS filter in the /etc/printcap file, to print on a printer connected to Windows PC (which is ok on other Linux Slackware and RADHAT versions), no sistem error is generated but the printer don't  works and we receive, in /var/mail/root,  the following mail:

printcap file

 

#

# This printcap is being created with printtool v.3.41

# Any changes made here manually will be lost if printtool

# is run later on.

# The presence of this header means that no printcap

# existed when printtool was run.

smbprint_LS filter file

 

logfile=/tmp/smb-print.log

(

# NOTE You may wish to add the line `echo translate' if you want automatic

# CR/LF translation when printing.

echo translate

echo "print -"

cat

) | /usr/bin/smbclient "//paghe/HP1200" "" -U "paghe" -N >> $logfile

#end of /usr/local/samba/bin/smbprint

 

 

If smbprint_LS1 is used, with same parameters, as filter of echo or cat statments, it is correct and the print is ok.

 

Example:

              echo -en "\rHELLO\r\f" | /usr/bin/smbprint_LS1                  print ok!

              cat file | /usr/bin/smbprint_LS1                                        print ok!  

 

 

smbprint_LS1 filter file

 

logfile=/tmp/smb-print.log

/usr/bin/smbclient "//paghe/HP1200" "" -c "print -" -U "paghe" -N >> $logfile

#end of /usr/local/samba/bin/smbprint

 

 

Installing the printer with YAST2 as Samba Printer, with the same parameters used in the filter, the printer works if we use LS and and LS-ascii, but there are no possibility to send different character sequences, because these sequences are not recognized (but the sequence is correct!).

 

If we use LS-raw the printer don't work and we obtain the same result as we use our filter smbprint-LS.

Pls let us know how I can resolve this problem, it's very urgent.

Thank your for your collaboration and best regards.
