Subject: [Samba] PDF printing problem - can't find Samba's spool file?
I'm still struggling with this, and people keep asking me why the PDF
printer still isn't working...does anyone have any suggestions?
Hi, Dave,
I guess anybody here on the list who is slightly interested in printing thought
when reading your first mail: "Well, if Dave is System Admin, he'll surely
know *which* printing system he upgraded, and to *which version*. If he
doesn't want to tell us -- we can't help him. Maybe he realizes the gap
in the info he's provided and and he'll deliver it in an afterglow. Let's
wait until he comes forward with it..."
Cheers,
Kurt.

I'm sure this is something simple, but I can't figure it out.
After a printing system upgrade, my old PDF-writer script (which acted as an
lp input filter) stopped working. I took this as an opportunity to rewrite
it to work straight from Samba. But I'm having an odd problem -- I can't
find Samba's job file. Here's the entry:
[pdf2]
path = /export/spool
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
print command = /usr/local/bin/mkpdf2.pl %s %U %I >>/tmp/pdf.log
2>&1
lpq command =
lprm command =
I had the script print out the parameters it got. It's getting filenames
like:
smbprn.000413.8dCLi2
Note that there's no path on the front of that filename, like I expected
with %s. And sure enough, the file isn't in /export/spool. In fact, I
can't find it *anywhere*. Any ideas where it's going?
