Thanks, I can now continue to work on this - lots of power under the hood with endless possibilities with the CUPS server now accepting the print jobs.

I am really also very impressed with Samba 3.0x and their Cups integration. Amazing work.

Ismet, as I look more closely at what you have, I see
that you are already fairly close to what I have done.

The differences that I see are that you have:
PRINT SERVER NAME OR ADDRESS: 192.168.0.105

REMOTE PRINTER NAME: HL1240


In my system, I don't use this.  Instead, the printer
output should be written to the file specified in IO
(which is set in the PRE-OPEN EXECUTE code), and then
the function in POST-CLOSE EXECUTE (DO
FINISH^ZZZPRNTR("HL1240") ) should pass a signal to
the linux lpr command to print the file.

So VistA doesn't need to know the ip address of the
printer.  It is shielded from all that.  That is
defined at the Linux OS level.

"Printing success & description of method"
Kevin Toppenberg Mon, 10 Jan 2005 17:57:07 -0800]

the entries for the device file including the
following:

PRE-OPEN EXECUTE: DO SETJOB^ZZZPRNTR(.IO) ;Note:
Change IO (output file)

What should the output file be? Is that the spool
directory for the client, the URI of the printer or the type of file
i.e. PDF/PS

I have setup CUPS on one of the LAN servers here

(in

this case running under FreeBSD 4.8) and can print from all the

Linux

workstations as well as from a Windows 2000 Pro box. I think I am

almost

there in printing from within VistA/GT.M/Debian. This is what I

have

so far: (the printer is a Brother 1240 laser)

Also should one use the URI/IPP or the IP address
for the printer address?

Thank you.
