Hi everyone, A few days ago, on the LPRng mailing list, I posted a weird problem with our Canon ImageRUNNER 600 and LPRng... turns out it's not a problem with LPRng... rather, it's an issue with a slightly-misleading option for Samba printers, and a bug with Canon's PCL processor.
In Samba, you have the option to say "Postscript = Yes", which doesn't mean "This is a postscript printer" but rather "this printer takes postscript all the time, so please add "%!" to the beginning of all jobs to it!" HP Printers are smart enough to see the PCL code in the job and go "Oh gee--this isn't really postscript... we'll just process it with PCL..." The Canon goes "Oh--oops--here's a %!.. must be plaintext cuz there's an Escape and some PCL.. I'll just print the "%!" and a pagefeed" So mystery solved... hopefully this will help others out there with the Canon ImageRUNNER class copiers--and Samba guys--can you change that option to say "Force Postscript"? *duck&run* :)))))) Thanks everyone! And thanks to Patrick Powell for the phone call today which put us on the right track to find the issue! :) I'm more than grateful for all the help and suggestions I get off of these two lists! Y'all rock! :) Sincerely, Glenn --- Glenn E.
