I have an HP LaserJet 4 Plus hooked up to a Mandrake Linux 7.0 box and
while local printing works great, network printing does not.
The job is copied to the Linux box but will not print. My print command
in the smb.conf file is:
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s
It seems the lpr command will not run. I have tried changing the print
command to something else like:
print command = cat %s >> /user/print/printlog.txt; lpr -r -P%p %s
The cat works but not the lpr. This is all done under domain security.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vince Easley
P.S. Here is my smb.conf file for reference.
[global]
netbios name = LINUXSERVER1

Hey ho.
I have a CD-ROM on /dev/hdc and a burner on /dev/hdd. I use ide-scsi,
because, well, I don't remember but I think I have to for the burner.
Since I upgraded my Slackware distribution last week (from 4.0 to
7.0), I've had regular errors with the CD-ROM drive.
Specifically, I get the following over and over:
scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 2179, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Read
(10) 00 00 00 00 17 00 00 08 00
SCSI host 0 abort (pid 2179) timed out - resetting
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
For variety, I sometimes see:
ide1: reset timed-out, status=0x80
hdc: status timeout: status=0x80 { Busy }
hdc: drive not ready for command
Though, then it goes back to the "aborting" messages. Because I
cannot umount the cd-rom, I end up having to reset the machine.
I'm not sure I understand my own setup. Here's what I see in dmesg:

I mount the CD-ROM by mount /dev/scd0. Am I just choosing the wrong
one (of the 8 phantom drives)? How do I know what to choose? What
the heck's wrong?
Also, how can I force a nicer reboot if this problem comes up? I hate
to reset the machine.

Subject: LAN transfer speed
Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2000 20:54:30 +0100
I'm having low transfer speeds between two computers connected through a
single twisted pair cable.
One of them is a dual Celeron 366MHz on an ABit BP6 with 128MB RAM, an IBM
DeskStar 34GXP 27GB 7200RPM U-ATA/66 and a 3Com 3C905C 10/100 NIC running
Windows 2000 Pro. The other is a Pentium 200MHz with 32MB RAM, a Quantum
Fireball ST 6.4GB 5400RPM(not really sure about this) and a 3Com 3C905C
10/100 NIC running Red Hat 6.1.
When I download files from the linux ftp-server to the Win2K box I get a
speed varying between 1500KB/s and 2500KB/s. This to me seems low but still
ok. However when uploading I get a constant speed of 131KB/s. This is
extremely low and totally unacceptable considering that the two boxes are
connected solely through a single TP-cable without sending data through
hubs, switches or the Internet.
I've tried changing the hard drive and NIC in the Linux box to different
brands and models, but still I get the same results. I have also installed
the latest kernel(2.2.14) getting the same upload rate but an even lower
download rate(about 400-550KB/s). I've also tried the latest NIC drivers
from 3Com without further improvement.
I'm quite a Linux newbie, but I do know these rates are way below average
for systems with this sort of hardware. Someone please help me with this.
It'd be a real pity having a Linux server without being able to use its full
potential. I'd really appriciate any help I can get.

I got a NEC internal IDE zip100 Driver(OEM). I was confused by the hardware
install guide diagram.
It gives two setup configuration:
One is master-slave-cable select
The other is master A --slave A -- Cable select A
Which one should I use?Slave A or Slave?
I have an HD and a CDROM , both occupied the master port.
Another question:
How can I make my Linux box(MK 7.0) to detect it and mount it?
I don't know which port the zip drvier is allocated. hdb, hdc, or
something else?
mount -t msdos /dev/??? /mnt/zip

It works quite well as an 'external' plugin as well. It's plugin
install didn't quite work, so I just set it up as an external
application.
<command> %s is the general syntax.
Does anyone know how to setup a 'spoof' plugin for Quicktime?
Several sites (like starwars.com) don't seem to allow access
to some files unless you've got a proper quicktime plugin
(which is nonexistent on Linux).

I'm starting to find that there are more people than I originally
thought that are having this problem. I've tried the suggestions by
others, yes /dev/hdc => /dev/cdrom and /mnt/cdrom, and yes, sound plays
through the headphone jack, just not through the speakers on the sound
card. I contacted Mandrake tech support and their answer was that the
SB PCI128 is not supported under the latest kernel and that I will have
to wait until someone incorporates it into the kernel. I have one
problem with that. When I run sndconfig, it autodetects the sound card
as Ensoniq AudioPCI 1370 and plays the Linus wav fine; however if I
tell it that I did not hear it and go to manual configuration, I see
Ensoniq AudioPCI 1370 (Soundblaster PCI64 / Soundblaster PCI128)
If it was not supported, why is it listed?!
They (Mandrake) also suggested recompiling the kernel and using the
OSS / Free drivers or the ALSA drivers which are provided on the extra
CD's that came in the Mandrake Deluxe 7.0 boxed set that I bought. I
tried this and the kernel would not compile and the OSS / Free drivers
and ALSA drivers will not compile under the Mandrake version.
I'm lost at this point. I appreciate everyone's input and assistance. I
hope we have managed to narrow it down a bit and can have a solution
soon.
Rip, keep watching. As this post states, it's a repost. It's getting
more attention under the repost than the original post received. I do
agree with you though, this is a minor albeit annoying problem.

Don't know if this'll help you guys, but mine won't play either UNLESS I check
the box marked rec in my mixer...Before you say something, yes I know that that
shouldn't make a difference, but it does on my RH6.1 machine.
