Is "shadowgate.com" really the password? > lp1¦Deskjet:\ ^ That should be an ASCII "VERTICAL LINE" "|", not an ISO-8859-1 "BROKEN BAR". Try the script from the command line, i.e. netprint < printme.txt Once that works, try it with lpr: lpr -Plp1 printme.txt _Then_ work on WP8. -- Carey Evans http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ Larry froze.

Printing on win95
Howdy all... I've got samba set up to where I can print to a shared printer... But the files have to be text files, and I have to do it manually from the smb:> prompt :( WP8 will go through the motions, but will not print to the printer... I created a script for this, /usr/bin/netprint it looks like this: * #!/bin/sh smbclient dahouse\\hpdeskje shadowgate.com -U BW07442 -P -c 'print' * My /etc/printcap file looks like this: * lp1¦Deskjet:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :if=/usr/bin/netprint:\ :df=/etc/filter.ps:\ :tf=/etc/filter.pcl:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:\ :lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\ :pl#66:\ :pw#80:\ :pc#150:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: Anyone see anything wrong??
