After hijacking this (i think) thread the other day with my own "print from windows" problems I guess I might pipe in and offer some of what i have discovered in the last day.... seems (in my case anyway) the problem has to do with the fact that the drivers from the windows side are not Postscript. and the cups are expecting Postscript. I found after chasing some of the links Anne posted that the problem for me was cured by
"use client driver = yes the Global section and also added guest ok =yes to the printers section, and finally changed the print command to: print command = lpr -P %p -o raw %s -r " this allows the windows drivers to be used and does not expect postscript if it is not a postscript kinda printer On Wednesday 29 January 2003 01:42 pm, Anne Wilson wrote: > On Wednesday 29 Jan 2003 3:48 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Jamie, here is an except from my smb.conf: > > [printers] > comment = All Printers > path = /var/spool/samba > browseable = no > # to allow user 'guest account' to print. > guest ok = yes > writable = no > printable = yes > create mode = 0700 > # ===================================== > # print command: see above for details. > # ===================================== > print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r > # using client side printer drivers. > ; print command = lpr-cups -P %p %s # using cups own drivers (use generic > # PostScript on clients). > # The following two commands are the samba defaults for printing=cups > # change them only if you need different options: > ; lpq command = lpq -P %p > ; lprm command = cancel %p-%j > > [print$] > path = /var/lib/samba/printers > browseable = yes > read only = yes > write list = @adm root > > I have the windows drivers set up at that end. > > HTH > > Anne
