I have been moving printers from lpd printing to samba print queues.
Drive installs, point-n-print, and everything else is working well
but I can't for the life of me figure out how to make print job collate.
I've been searching on how to correct this problem but have been
unable to find anything.
My setup is
Samba 3.0.11 + 3.0.14a
Cups 1.1.20 + 1.1.23
In one test the queue is configured as a Raw queue and the native
Windows driver is installed. In test two the queue is configured
with the foomatic driver for the printer and a generic PS driver is
installed on the Windows side. In both cases I get the Collate
option in the Windows print dialog, I can check the box. But the
printer still outputs 2 copies of page 1 then 2 copies of page 2. If
I submit a job from another linux or Mac collation works so cups
appears to be doing the right thing. So I think this is a samba
problem.
Samba conf (Important parts)
[global]
printing = cups
printer admin = @printAdmins
printcap cache time = 60
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /tmp
create mask = 0700
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
guest ok = yes
browsable = no
read only = yes
write list = @printAdmins
force create mode = 0775
force group = printAdmins
force user = lp
directory mask = 0775
Thanks for the help,
Derek
