The printer settings dialog says the following:

(*) Always available

Priority: 1
Driver: HP LaserJet 4050 Series PCL 6

(*) Spool print documents so program finishes printing faster
   ( ) Start printing after last page is spooled
   (*) Start printing immediately
( ) Print directly to printer

[ ] Hold mismatched documents
[X] Print spooled documents first
[ ] Keep printed documents
[X] Enable advanced printing features

Is everything ok with that?

hi Marc,

I had that problem a few days ago, I solved by on the win2k machine
in the Printer properties, go to the Advance Tab check if you dont have
selected Print directly to the printer and select Spool print...
and it should work, at least for me it worked :-)

Subject: [Samba] smbspool to Windows 2000 Server: ERRgeneral opening
remotefile


Hi,

I am trying to print from my Debian unstable Notebook to a printer
that is connected to a Windows 2000 Server. Target environment is CUPS
which uses smbspool as a front-end, and smbspool gives a strange error
message.

|  export DEVICE_URI=smb://account:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/server/printer
|  smbspool foo bar Title 1 ignore Makefile
gives the error message
|  ERROR: ERRHRD - ERRgeneral (General failure.) opening remote file Title

Same thing happens with
|  export DEVICE_URI=smb://domain\account:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/printer

When I use a different (wrong) password, the error message changes to
access denied, so I believe the account is OK.

When I boot my notebook with windows, I can print to that printer with
the account in question. So the Windows people say that the server is
fine.

Am I doing something wrong with smbspool?

Any hints will be appreciated.

I will be on site again on Friday, so I won't reply to answers until I
have tried what you suggested.

Greetings
Marc
