Hi Thanks
I looked for some information on the problem and I determined the following (1) The printer goes into power down mode after a short period of inactivity (2) This feature cannot be disabled I looked at the ifhp filters and I'm not quite sure what to set it to. Any assistance would be appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Joel Hammer Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 1:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: LPRng: Odd printer behavior Knowing nothing about this printer, I would guess that the printer drivers for windows engage in some two way magic communication with the printer to keep it in an active state. Two way communication is not possible when samba gets between your printer and the windows client. I would: 1. Just let the printer sit by itself unattached to any computer to see if the green light goes off by itself. 2. Look at the documentation for any information about this behavior. You may have to program your samba server to send some wakeup control character to the printer before a job is sent. This would involve likely a trivial modification to your print filter.
