Hi, I have simplified the smb.conf file with the changes you suggested, and still no output. I can confirm that I can see the printers from windows, can send jobs to them, and if I look in /tmp I see the spooled file appear for a second and then disappear as if it is printing.
Forgive me for not been too sure about the software, but am I right in thinking that I just create a queue, or in this case a TCP socket using LPRNGTool and then add it to the Samba config, or do I need to do something special when I add the printer? Many Thanks In Advance Jeramy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 November 2003 10:40 To: Jeramy Eling Subject: RE: LPRng: Nothing Prints Using Samba and LPRNG Did you try to simplify the smb.conf file as far as possible ? try print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%P %s [printers] path = /tmp printable = Yes guest ok = Yes browseable = Yes Are you able to connect the server at all ?
