I have been wrestling literally for days with SAMBA/Win2K remote printing. Here is the architecture: qty 1- FBSD SAMBA Server PDC qty 2- Network printers (an HP LJ2100 with Built-in net card, and a Canon 6500 printer/copier also with built-in nic. qty 50+ - Win2K Clients SAMBA file sharing works great, and after much trial and error, so does the printing but only to ONE printer -- the one identified as 'lp'. I can successfully print from the FBSD box to each remote printer in the printcap with: lpr -Pprinter testfile.name . This tells me the printcap is working as are my print queues. But when trying to print from the Win2K clients, I only get output to one of the printers (the one I define as lp). I think what is happening is that the lp: definition in the printcap defaults to /dev/lp which then goes to the aforementioned printer... Can someone please set me straight? I am about to lose my mind, my wife, and probably some other important things in my life! Here is my smb.conf: # APS1_BEGIN:printer1 # - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1 # - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL lp|mainoffhp2100|pcl3:\ :rp=raw:\ :rm=192.168.1.114:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/mainoffhp2100:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: # APS1_END - don't delete this # BEGIN PRINTER2 lp2|mainoffcanon|copier:\ :rp=raw:\ :rm=192.168.1.20:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/mainoffcanon:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: # PRINTER2 END Thank you in advance for your help! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
