Hello.
We are using a Samba 2.2.5 as a PDC on a Debian GNU/Linux server. This server also handles a few printers, through LPRng. On the Unix side, no problem (duplex, simplex, short-duplex), everything works fine. I followed the instructions from the howto collection "Printing Support in Samba 2.2.x" to make these printers available on Samba. Most of the described procedure worked well. Win2k/NT workstations have now the ability to download the required drivers. However, users (then me) noticed that no duplex printing is possible. When Going to Control-Panel->Printers, we can select the Printer properties, then the disposition and finally tell this printer must use duplex printing without problem (as a superuser or as a normal user). The strange thing is that when we try to setup such a behaviour (duplex printing) from within an application (any application), the disposition tab does not contain the duplex setting anymore. And of course, users are unable to print duplex documents. I really do not understand what's wrong here. Here is excerpt from /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf, with all printer-related informations : [global] [...] load printers = No disable spoolss = no [...] printing = lprng [print$] path = /usr/local/samba/printers guest ok = yes browseable = yes read only = yes write list = root [hp1] comment = HP LaserJet 4050TN path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes printer name = hp1 guest ok = yes [hp2] comment = HP LaserJet 4100DTN path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes printer name = hp guest ok = yes Here is also a sample from a log file. This error happens when opening a printer from a Win2K client. I do not know what to do with this. [2002/10/14 16:40:20, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(499) write_socket_data: write failure. Error = Socket operation on non-socket [2002/10/14 16:40:20, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket(524) write_socket: Error writing 162 bytes to socket 1: ERRNO = Socket operation on non-socket Any suggestions ???
