I have a samba server, where I define the printers to be shared via printcap
file.
The printcap file has about 20 printers on it, and 1 of them (only this
one), sometimes disappear.
When, at w2k workstation, I browse \\server1 the printer does not show, but
all others do; instead if I make \\server1\laser1 the printer is shown and
it stay there for a little time. If I close the bowser and, about an hour
later I open and type again \\server , again the printer is not shown.
Does anyone have a clue?!?!?!
My printcap laser1 printer definition is:
laser1|xinfm|laser2|lxforms:\
:ml=0:\
:mx=0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laser1:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/laser1/laser1.acct:\
:sh:\
:rm=lxprn1:\
:rp=pr1:\
:lpd_bounce=true:\
:if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:
My smb.conf file is:
[global]
workgroup = servidores
comment = Server1
volume = Server1
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
guest account = pcguest
log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m
