Hello,

I try to print to a printer connected to a Window NT 4.0 server computer
using smbclient, but nothing is printed.
These are the set up :--

1.    /etc/printcap file:

lp|hp3p|LaserJet3p at Ani's PC:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:rm=cedmms:\
:rp=hp3p:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd:\
:if=/usr/freeware/bin/smbprint:\
:mx=0:\

2.    Following is the script in smbprint:

logfile=/tmp/smb-print.log
server=cedmms
service=hp3p
password=ced
username=ced

echo "server $server, service $service" >> $logfile

(
echo translate
 echo "print -"
 cat
) | /usr/freeware/bin/smbclient "\\\\$server\\$service" $password -U
$username -P >> $logfile

I can use two printing command in my system --  lpr   &    lp

When I use  lpr  -p  -r -s <filename>,  the file only remains in the
spool directory and never pipe to smbprint

When I use lp <filename>,  the  following error is logged in the
smb-print.log file:

server cedmms, service hp3p
Server time is Sat Jan 22 10:51:38 2000
Timezone is UTC+8.0
Domain=[CED] OS=[Windows NT 4.0] Server=[NT LAN Manager 4.0]
smb: \> CR/LF<->LF and print text translation now on
smb: \> printing file - as stdin
read gave 0
0 bytes printed

Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
