I used the print command and replaced -P %p with the absolute path to the printer.I have problems to: In my setting, the samba spool files aren't deletedafter succesful printing. I have compiled Samba 2.2.5 from a Debiansource package, and I assumed that its prepared to compile withlibcups2. I admit I didn't check (and cannot do this right now).

So I've been thinking about this and was just about to dig into fixing it, but am confused. Did you compile Samba to include the cups libraries? If so then setting [global] printing = cups printcap name = cups is all you need. You don't need the "print command" in this case as smbd will send directly through the cups API. If smbd is not linked with the cups library, then I'm curious why configure did not pick them up for you. cheers, jerry - Hewlett-Packard http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team http://www.samba.org --http://www.plainjoe.org "SAMS Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours" 2ed.

Re: [Samba] Printing probleme Samba 2.2.3.a with CUPS
There is a bug in samba printing cups at least for version 2.2.3 and up. It cant resolve -P %p in the print command line. Fix it by replacing -P %p with the absolute path to the printing device found in lpstat -v IE.for my usb printer. [global] printcap name = lpstat [printers] path = /var/spool/samba print command = lpr /dev/usb/lp0 -o raw %s;rm %s -r printable = yes printing = cups Try this and add the rest of the commands to the printer section. --- Henry Stuemer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> skrev: > > > Dear All, > > after changing my Linux box to Samba 2.2.3a and CUPS > I'm struggling with > some probleme : > > From XPpro Client : The printer works without any > problems. > > From 98SE and Me Clients : The Wizard shows that the > printer is offline > and cannot print. > > Can anybody give me a hint where to search ? > > Regards > > Henry > > __ Se den nye Yahoo!
