Re: [Samba] can't print more copys than one
Yeah -- it works ! At least it was a driver problem! I tested a few other drivers -- originally I took the ones from the HP homepage .. now I took the maybe older drivers from the original CDROM and they work well !! So now .. I'm happy *g* thx for advance!

I get multiple copies if I boot Windows and I also get multible copies trying to print from another Windows-Box over then network (same Driver/OS). But I think Windows have a other way to manage that ?! > We had the same complaint a while back. Are you the same person that > complained before?

The next time buying a printer I will be smarter! ..but it is no Postscriptprinter! (I know it could be so easy *grr*) I did also some testing and you're right: I printed a letter into a file (in Windows with multible copies), copied the file onto the Linux-Box and did some 'cat file > /dev/lp0' .. result: Only one copy. So it is not a samba problem! .. but why does this work in Windows (also over the network .. see above) ?? > Shifting now to pure speculation, maybe the windows client computer and > the printer need to be in two way communication to allow multiple copies > to be printed. > > I have found (On my little home network) that the best solution to > most printing problems is to set up a queue on the linux server which > handles postscript files well, and then send everything to that queue > as a postscript job.

I tried, but I found no usefull method to print postscript files with a non-postscript-printer. pstotext with pipe to lpr is not really rocking *gg* Thanks for your help!

Re: [Samba] can't print more copys than one
I assume you get multiple copies when the printer is connected directly to the windows client. We had the same complaint a while back. Are you the same person that complained before? I looked into how the multiple copy thing worked at that time. I did some testing. I used a postscript format for the print jobs. >From both linux (abiword) and windows (word), only a single document is sent to print. Contained within each document was the code (postscript is a computer language which runs on some printers.) to output multiple copies. That is, samba has no influence on the number of copies printed, at least with postscript printers. So, maybe this is a driver problem, not a samba problem? Shifting now to pure speculation, maybe the windows client computer and the printer need to be in two way communication to allow multiple copies to be printed. I have found (On my little home network) that the best solution to most printing problems is to set up a queue on the linux server which handles postscript files well, and then send everything to that queue as a postscript job. I use HP Laserjet III + and it works fine, and all flavors of windows seems to have that printer driver available.

[Samba] can't print more copys than one
I'm using Samba 2.2.3 (Debian-testing) and CUPS 1.1.15 with a HP-Deskjet950c Printing from all Linux-Clients works fine. I also can print any document from the Windows-Boxes ( XP & 2k ). The Problem is : If I want to make more copys than one I still get one paper printed out! This problem only appears when printing from Windows to the Samba-Share. I also tested lpr/lpd printer spooling system -> same result: With Windows I could only make one copy of the document. With Linux all works fine. my smb.conf : [global] workgroup = IMMORTUX netbios name = blub guest account = blub server string = %h server (Samba %v) load printers = yes printcap name = /etc/printcap.cups printing = bsd # I also testet with option 'cups' and without option 'print command' > same result.. invalid users = root log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 syslog = 0 security = share encrypt passwords = false dns proxy = no passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n . obey pam restrictions = yes [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = yes path = /tmp printable = yes public = yes print command = /usr/bin/lpr -o raw -P%p -r %s create mode = 0700 guest ok = yes I read the docu without getting new ideas so the mailinglist is my last hope *g* thx4reading Phil -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
