lprng

[Sean Roe]

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

error  sean at mustang+837             A   837 ERROR: too many errors


any ideas?

thanks,
Sean
