I recently recompiled my kernel using kernel-source-2.4.22 in testing. I included samba file system support in the kernel.
Previously, I had no problem printing on two printers on different WIN200 machines on our network but now I can't. The print jobs just stay in the /spool/lpd/printer directory. The funny thing is that I have no problem seeing the workstations and their printers if I login with XSMBrowser or TkSmb. I tried using dpkg-reconfigure samba, and set it as daemons rather than inetd....should this make a difference? I've gone through all of the tests in the lprng-doc cookbook. Here is an example of how files sit around in the spooler: tracer:/usr/src# echo hi >/tmp/hi tracer:/usr/src# lpr /tmp/hi tracer:/usr/src# lpq Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (printing disabled) Queue: 2 printable jobs Server: no server active Status: job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' removed at 21:07:51.382 Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] A 525 /tmp/AcroYneqce 156437 21:40:30 2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] A 798 /tmp/hi Here is a verbose attempt at printing: tracer:/usr/src# lpr -V /tmp/hi LPRng-3.8.22, Kerberos5, Copyright 1988-2003 Patrick Powell, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sending job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 connected to 'localhost' requesting printer [EMAIL PROTECTED] sending control file 'cfA807tracer.rice.edu' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] completed sending 'cfA807tracer.rice.edu' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] sending data file 'dfA807tracer.rice.edu' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] completed sending 'dfA807tracer.rice.edu' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] done job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' transfer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debugging the network as follows: tracer:/usr/src# lpr -Dnetwork /tmp/hi vista: getconnection: START host localhost, port <NULL>, timeout 10, connection_type 1 vista: getconnection: fqdn found localhost, h_addr_list count 1 vista: getconnection: unix_socket_path /var/run/lprng/socket vista: getconnection: using unix socket vista: Link_send: host 'localhost' socket 3, timeout 0 vista: Link_send: str '^Bvista ', count 7, ack 0xbfffc3fc vista: Link_send: final status NO ERROR vista: Link_send: host 'localhost' socket 3, timeout 0 vista: Link_send: str '^B145 cfA810tracer.rice.edu ', count 27, ack 0xbfffbfac vista: Link_send: final status NO ERROR vista: Link_send: host 'localhost' socket 3, timeout 0 vista: Link_send: str 'Htracer.rice.edu Proot J/tmp/hi CA Lroot [EMAIL PROTECTED] D2003-10-01-09:21:46.404 Qvista N/tmp/hi fdfA810tracer.rice.edu UdfA810tracer.rice.edu ', count 146, ack 0xbfffbfac vista: Link_send: final status NO ERROR vista: Link_send: host 'localhost' socket 3, timeout 0 vista: Link_send: str '^C3 dfA810tracer.rice.edu ', count 25, ack 0xbfffbf4c vista: Link_send: final status NO ERROR vista: Link_send: host 'localhost' socket 3, timeout 0 vista: Link_send: str '', count 1, ack 0xbfffbf4c vista: Link_send: final status NO ERROR My printcap file was generated with lprngtool. Since it worked before, I suspect that I am missing some module in the kernel. Any ideas or approaches would be extremely appreciated.
