Hello,
I try to get samba to work, especially the printing to a windows NT network printer. I
can print to the printer by using smbprint etc, but this always takes some time (first
'gs -sDEVICE=ljet -sOutputFile=file.hp file.pdf' followed by 'smbclient
\\\\labmetserver\\HPLaserJ -Ukurts%xxxxx' and finally giving the command 'print
file.hp'). So, I decided to try to make an entry in my printcap-file (I show it here,
although I'm sure that this doesn't matter for the problem I have...):
----
smb0|SMB.HP.LJ4.normal.1:\
:cm=HP LaserJet 4 computerlokaal:
:lp=/dev/smb0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/smb0:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/smb0/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/local/bin/smbprint
----
And then I had to make two more files (these are the important ones, I guess):
/var/spool/lpd/smb0/.config:
----
server = LABMETSERVER
service = HPLaserJ
user = kurts
password = "xxxxxx"
----
and the file /usr/local/bin/smbprint:
----
#!/bin/sh -x
logfile=/tmp/smb-print.log
eval acct_file=\$$#
spool_dir=/var/spool/lpd/smb0
config_file=$spool_dir/.config
eval cat $config_file
echo "server $server, service $service" >> $logfile
(
echo translate
echo "print -"
cat
) | /usr/bin/smbclient "\\\\$server\\$service" -U$user>> $logfile
----
I didn't add my password here, but it should prompt for it anyway. Now, I just try the
smbprint-script first, but it won't work:
----
$ smbprint "test"
+ logfile=/tmp/smb-print.log
+ eval 'acct_file=$1'
++ acct_file=test
+ spool_dir=/var/spool/lpd/smb0
+ config_file=/var/spool/lpd/smb0/.config
+ eval cat /var/spool/lpd/smb0/.config
++ cat /var/spool/lpd/smb0/.config
server = LABMETSERVER
service = HPLaserJ
user = kurts
password = "xxxxx"
+ echo 'server , service '
+ echo translate
+ echo 'print -'
+ cat
+ /usr/bin/smbclient '\\\' -U
\\\: option requires an argument -- U
----
Apparently, the variables 'server', 'service', 'user' and 'password' are not read
(since they are replaced by nothing). What am I doing wrong?
thanks in advance,
Kurt
