Mark, It prints!
Thanks very much. There is more progress as mentioned below.
*************************
I set the device name to the cups printer, in this case 'HL1240' with
proper close execute and it prints. There is a downwards "stair
stepping" in the printed output. Is this related to some terminal setting?
Kevin, I recall in an earlier post you mentioned this problem.
Is this something that can only be done with additional code or should I
just experiment with other terminal settings or designations? I have
not come across any document that directly addresses printing - i.e.
from http://www.va.gov/vdl/

Ismet,
You should not need a POST-CLOSE EXECUTE, the CLOSE EXECUTE in the
TERMINAL TYPE will take care of it.
This field should be: CLOSE EXECUTE: W *27,"E" U IO K IO(1,IO) C IO
ZSYSTEM "lpr -r -l -P "_ION_" "_IO
NOTE the "_IO" on the end this varible is equal to the device name so
the Linux ZSYSTEM call for the lpr command will expand to something like:
lpr -r -l -P /home/ibk/t/HL1240.12345612345.TMP HL1240
You currently have the printer varialbe equal to "PRINTER NAME: HL1240",
the Device name needs to equal the Linux name for the printer. You could
just force the Linux name of the printer here just change the end to
"_ION_" HL1240
Also I have a space after the "-P" I believe some versions of lpr you do
not want a space.
Hope this helps.

Thanks very much Mark,
I got this with my first go around ->
Heading (S/C): DEVICE LIST//

Then I realized I got the path wrong to the temp file. Now I am
getting this error:
Do you want your output QUEUED? NO// (NO)
lpr: error - unable to print file: client-error-not-found
Do I need to set the "POST-CLOSE EXECUTE:" ?
Here are configurations of the terminal and device. (I am using an older
Brother HL1240 laser printer- which pretty much emulates a basic HP
Laser Jet)

I have been using the following settings in the device and terminal
types. I have printed to multiple printers and sent multiple
labels/prescriptions to an single printer over a very short period of
time. It has not failed me yet, Kevin is correct the key is in the
PRE-OPEN EXECUTE, I just set IO equal to $I with a piece in the
middle consisting of $J(job) and the second peice of $H(time) this
give the TEMP file its own unique name.
You do not have th have the printer name in the temporary file just
SOMETHING.TMP, you need the format SOMETHING.TMP because the PRE-OPEN
EXECUTE in the DEVICE does a $P looking for a ".". You also need to
have the DEVICE Name equal to the Linux name for the printer, this is
the ION variable so "lpr" know what printer to use. I do suggest
leaving the TEMP file name the same as the device name so if you have
a failure you at least know the device name that failed. It is the
CLOSE EXECUTE in the TERMINAL TYPE that triggers the "lpr" to print.
Let me know if this works.

Thanks, I can now continue to work on this - lots of power under
the hood with endless possibilities with the CUPS server now
accepting the print jobs.
I am really also very impressed with Samba 3.0x and their Cups
integration. Amazing work.
Maybe, but I can't tell you how bad SAMBA is as a protocol. All the
SMB/CIF networking is a disaster. It floods your network, and is slow.

Ismet, as I look more closely at what you have, I see
that you are already fairly close to what I have done.
The differences that I see are that you have:
PRINT SERVER NAME OR ADDRESS: 192.168.0.105
REMOTE PRINTER NAME: HL1240
In my system, I don't use this. Instead, the printer
output should be written to the file specified in IO
(which is set in the PRE-OPEN EXECUTE code), and then
the function in POST-CLOSE EXECUTE (DO
FINISH^ZZZPRNTR("HL1240") ) should pass a signal to
the linux lpr command to print the file.
So VistA doesn't need to know the ip address of the
printer. It is shielded from all that. That is
defined at the Linux OS level.

What should the output file be? Is that the spool

i.e. PDF/PS
I have setup CUPS on one of the LAN servers here
