I posted this query a couple of days ago and received no responses.
SInce that time, some other info has come to light that I thought would
be useful to helping to solve this porblem.
My network consists of a firewall machine networked with a SuSE 7.2
workstation and a Windows 2000 workstation. My smb.conf file is below:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2003/11/24 00:43:32
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = PENGUINIX
security = user
browsable = yes
guest account = guest
encrypt passwords = yes
;wins service = yes
wins support = Yes
path = /smb/Delorme
local master = yes
[joec]
comment = Personal network share
path = /smb/joec
read only = No
[peggyc]
comment = Personal network share
path = /smb/peggyc
read only = No
[pr1]
printable = yes
printcap name = /etc/printcap
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s
;printer driver = dj1
printer = dj1
printing = BSD
path = /var/tmp
valid users = joec peggyc root administrator
min print space = 2000
I can see dj1 (linux printer - HP640c) from the Windows desktop. When I
try to print to it (i.e. test page), I receive an error spooling the
document to the printer. I am connecting the printer through an TCP/IP
port. I have checked permissions on the w2k side, and everything appears
to be setup to allow printing. When I check the status of the spool on
the linux side, the lock file is being generated, and the stauts shows
the printer as being ready and available for printing.
