Subject: samba printing
Hi list,
I'm having hard time getting printing working from samba winXP client to
a printer parallelport connected to my FreeBSD-4.10-release box.
I have a HP Laserjet 1200 -printer, and am using LPD and apsfilter with
postscript driver as suggested by linuxprinting.org.
Everything works real well under BSD, but I am unable to get any output
to printer from the Windows box.
I have gathered different bits and pieces from around the net and
manuals, and have come up with the following:
/etc/printcap:
lp|PS;r=1200x1200;q=medium;c=full;p=a4;m=auto:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
raw|hp|HP LaserJet 1200:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:sd=/var/spool/raw:\
:lf=/var/spool/raw/log:\
:af=/var/spool/raw/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sf:\
:sh:
$ ls -ld /var/spool/lpd/lp
drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Jan 23 19:59 /var/spool/lpd/lp
$ ls -ld /var/spool/raw/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 23 19:57 /var/spool/raw/
/usr/local/etc/smb.conf:
[global]
hosts allow 10.0.0.
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
client code page=850
wins support = yes
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
[lp]
comment = Laserjet 1200
path = /var/spool/samba
printer name = raw
public = yes
writeable = no
printable = yes
$ ls -ld /var/spool/samba/
drwxrwxrwt 2 root wheel 512 Jan 23 20:03 /var/spool/samba/
In the Windows box, I've added a local printer with the "Add new printer
wizard" pointing it to lpt1-port. After that, I have opened a command
prompt, and typed "net use lpt1: \\10.0.0.1\lp".
I have filesharing also in samba, and that works without problems.
My windows username and password are same as samba username and
password.
However, as said, nothing gets printed. No files are in the
spooldirectories. I do not know how to proceed, and would love some
guidance. Thanks,
Mikko
ps. would hate to have to put it into windows box, as printer supports
PS.

Hello,
Looks like the spool directories are different in /etc/printcap and
in smb.conf:
sd=/var/spool/raw:
path = /var/spool/samba
Try to set to the same path, also make sure windows user has
Enough privileges to write to spool directory...
Best regards,
