No Problems like this with LPRng. Its mostly a wrong configuration. And using Windows as a print server-well it was never designed to do that correctly. I server dozens of printers with LPRng , print streams coming from windows, as400,aix and so on. No problem deriving from LPRng or Linux so far, but a lot from windows.

When I tried to install it with Samba, I got problems printing from Excel or Word files into the print queues set up in Lprng. For example, if I tried to print multiple copies of the same document - the lprng print queue would hang, then the user had to delete the jobs, because the accounting created a number of jobs equal to the copies sent from the windows client. When I asked the Lprng author about that problem - he said that Microsoft Excel or Word were broken in the way that they send files for printing. The thing is that you don't have that problem if someone uses a Novell server or Windows server to serve your printers. Does anyone have any experience like this ? Any comments ? thanks, Juan C.
