>
> Hi,
> I have lprng running on a Redhat 6.1 (dont remember what version of lprng
> -I just remember that I didnt have to compile it -it was a .rpm)
> Right now I can print to printers on the network
> (hp printers with jet direct cards that are directly hooked to the
> network)
> but am unable to print to the same printers from windows machines.
> I have samba running on my machine.When I tried to print a test page from
> windows machine
> the only thing that gets printed is a small black circle and a 9 8.
> In addition to this, there is an additional page that gets printed with
> the following error message
First, get more information about what the spooler is doing:
># lpc stop xxx # stop queue xxx from printing
Now send a job via samba to queue xxx
># lpq -Pxxx # look at the status
I suggest you look at the job itself now - the
files in the xxx queue spool directory. These should
bear some slight resemblance to printable jobs.
You might find that they are total junk - in which
case the Windows system is not sending the correct
format of data. If they look like PostScript or PCL,
then try:
># lpc start
Now look at the detailed status:
># lpq -Pxxx -llll
and see if there is any information there.
Good luck.
