Setup: Server - with HL-1240 Laser Printer connected to it running Mandrake8.2 Client - with winxp using samba to print via the Server listed above.
Took me a while, but after some agrivating trouble-shooting, i found out that samba would only print using the default windows xp printer driver for the Brother HL-1240 laser printer.(the default driver only allows 300dpi) Trying to use the HL-1240 printer driver provided by Brother (allows 600dpi) will result in an error such as "There was a problem printing, would you like to use windows help to diagnose your problem?" (me mutters h*ck no here). Some may wonder, "why 600dpi when linux can only print with this printer using 300dpi?" Well, I believe that this printer can do 600dpi ghostscript and only 300dpi graphics. Even then, it should be printing in raw mode so that the printer will use the client side driver instead of the linux server driver (?). (-o raw is set) This one is probabely for the samba mailling list...so if somebody could forward, would be great! -- Roger ----- Verify my pgp/gnupg signature on my HomePage: http://www.alltel.net/~rogerx/about/index.html
