I need some help with getting this NT printer setup with Samba server.
I think I have modified all the required files and don't know what else is
missing. An outside observation should find the missing link.
Here is my /etc/printcap:
lp:\
:cm=NT printer :\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/local/samba/bin/smbprint:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sh:
I have tried substituting lp=/dev/lp1
The /var/spool/lpd/lp/.config has the following contents:
server=nt
service=color
password=""
Here is printer specific portion of smb.conf:
[global]
printing = BSD
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p %s
printcap file = /etc/printcap
[printer1]
printable = yes
printer = lp
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
I have restarted Samba and lpd(don't think it's required). When I issue
the print command,
$ lpr myfile.txt OR lpr -Plp myfile.txt
the job remains in the queue and does not go to the printer. The printer
on NT is set to "shared".
Any ideas appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
