lprng

[Bob Elzer]

I don't see an rm=machine-name:rp=print-name:  entry in your printcap.

This makes me think, that the printer is not shared on the host.

Also where are you printing from ? What OS ?

I know there is a bug in windows media center (at least on my laptop), that
I have not been able to fix.

If it is windows, these links may help, in the end they didn't help me
though.

Hi All,

has anybody got any experience with lprng and samba?  I have lprng working
so I can print from the localhost and samba is working as I can attach
shares and all. but when I try to setup a printer in samba, I am having no
real progress.  I am running LPRng-3.8.A and
samba-3.2.0-1 on Fedora core 9 machine.  The printer is printing fine with
lp.  here is the printcap entry:

  lp1|printer \
  |lp \
  :force_localhost \
  :server \
  :cm=Canon I560 \
  :lp=/dev/lp0 \
  :ppd=/usr/local/lib/bj8pa06n.ppd \
  :if=/usr/bin/foomatic-rip \
  :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0 \
  :mx=0:sh:

when I send a print job via samba I get the following info from lpq

Printer: lp1 at mustang (originally lp) 'Canon I560'
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
 Server: no server active
 Status: job 'sean at mustang+837' saved at 10:53:24.612
 Rank   Owner/ID               Pr/Class Job Files                 Size Time
error  sean at mustang+837             A   837 ERROR: too many errors


any ideas?

thanks,
Sean
