I have been struggling with samba and printing. My original post is at
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/msg72613.html. I since then, I built a
2nd box, but this time it is a samba 3.0.0 box. The same thing happens on
the 3.0.0 box.
The update is that this occurs on the lexmark printer using the Lexmark
Z22/32 drivers. If I use a HP driver or a different driver, the job goes to
the queue, but prints garbage. This is expected though. Is there a reason
why the job does not spool with the lexmark driver? I deteted all the tdb
file except the secrets.tdb and restarted the server. On a few occasions, I
got the printer to print with the lexmark driver, but most of the time it
failed. I downloaded the driver from lexmark's site.
Printing a test page gives "Test page failed to print. Would you like to
view the print troubleshooter for assistance? Unable to create a print
job." I have disabled bidirectional support on the printer but it still
does not spool. Copying a file directly to the printer share works.
Am I missing something? What can I do to get it working. The printer wrked
with the driver once, but I can't seem to get it to work again.
Please help!
Bob.
