Hi guys, Can someone explain why sharing a GDI printer (think Laserjet 1000/1005/1020 for example) is so unreliable? I'm not moaning about Samba - I just want to understand.
I have seen this several times. I get the printer working fine under Linux, then print to it through Samba, also fine. But then I get a call a day later "we can't print" and when I get there the printer is paused (an no user has the privs to paus/resume it). The last case, with a Laserjet 1000, after it paused the first time, it simply wouldn't print again - ever. It could still print directly from the Linux box, but not through Samba. I also noticed that these printers wouldn't work properly through a hardware print server.
