--=-K0Zl49pAt43eHTi3vF8f Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Gerry, I'm afraid that this still isn't working for me. This is what I did: 1] # cp /usr/local/share/examples/samba/printing/smbprint /usr/local/samba/ So, this is what I now have in /usr/lcoal/samba: # ls -la /usr/local/samba total 8 drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 512 Nov 7 18:38 . drwxr-xr-x 19 root wheel 512 Nov 5 18:55 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Oct 20 20:20 lib drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 512 Nov 2 11:39 profiles -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3284 Nov 7 18:38 smbprint #=20 2] Restarted lpd : kill PID from ps waux | grep -i lpd Restarted lpd - /usr/sbin/lpd -l Its running at the moment: # ps waux | grep -i lpd root 49267 0.0 0.2 976 616 ?? Is 6:39PM 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/lpd -l root 75974 0.0 0.2 988 676 ?? I 6:44PM 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/lpd -l root 89836 0.0 0.2 1084 660 p2 S+ 6:49PM 0:00.00 grep -i lpd #=20 So now I figured that all I need to do is to try to print something. First I try something simple: lpr -Php845c /etc/hosts This results in the same initialization noises at the printer, paper is accepted, then all stops, manual feed button lights start blinking. The *exact* same thing that happeded before I installed apsfilter. Pressing the manual feed button ejects the paper that has the first line printed stair-cased. I check the status after manually ejecting the paper: # lpc status all hp845c: queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries in spool area printer idle #=20 Not sure what this means, but there's definitely something not right here. I know that you've said as much, but I fear that there might actually be something wrong with this set-up somehow. Printing from smbclient doesn't work either: # smbclient //snowball/hp845c added interface ip=3D<snipped> bcast=3D<snipped>.255 nmask=3D255.255.255.0 Password:=20 Domain=3D[<snipped>] OS=3D[Windows 5.0] Server=3D[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] smb: \> print /etc/hosts putting file /etc/hosts as hosts-12686 (121.4 kb/s) (average 121.4 kb/s) smb: \> quit # lpc status all hp845c: queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries in spool area printer idle #=20 In this case, the same noises are heard, then the printer just stops, and again the manual feed light button is flashing.

This appears to be related what I was saying in earlier posts,, that I am not able to determine how it is that smbclient is supposed to "see" smbprint, if smbprint is located in /usr/local/samba. I'm not saying that you're wrong in any way, but from its own comments, smbprint says that smbclient presumes that he lives in the same location as smbprint: #smbclient=3D/usr/pkg/bin/smbclient # Assume that smbclient will be in the same place as smbprint smbclient=3D"`dirname $0`/smbclient" Hey, a funny thing has just happened here.., as I was tapping this out, that last job actually printed itself off (after some 10 minutes), still stepped! Very.., very.., weird. Please HELP!
