I assume here you mean that when printing from the Windows client it does not work? I assume you see something which comes from the Windows client appearing in the CUPS queue (or do you mean the Samba queue) and then probably it is disappearing because it is sent by CUPS to the printer (the same way as you have tested before) but the printer does not print anything? Disable printing in CUPS (/usr/sbin/cupsdisable <queue>) so that the job stays in the CUPS queue. Then print from the Windows client and inspect the job data file /var/spool/cups/d* at least if it seems to have sufficient size to be real printer-data for this printer. Additionally you can try to send such a job data file via cat /var/spool/cups/d... >/dev/usb/lp0 directly to the printer. If there are no errors but it doesn't print, it seems the Windows client produces not the right printer specific data? By the way: If I remember correctly there exists hardware which works only if there is a real bidirectional communication between the driver and the printer (not only the low-level data transfer handshake), something like: driver->printer: "Do you feel alright?" printer->driver: "Thanks fine! Why do you ask?" driver->printer: "Well, I may like to send you some print data." printer->driver: "Please wait - currently I am scanning." driver->printer: "May I send you some print data?" printer->driver: "Please wait - currently I am scanning." driver->printer: "May I send you some print data?" printer->driver: "O.k. - but not more than 20 bytes." driver->printer: "012345678901234567890" printer->driver: "Chocked! Try again." driver->printer: "01234567890123456789" printer->driver: "O.k." driver->printer: "May I send you some more print data?" printer->driver: "O.k. - but not more than 13 bytes." ... ;-) Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany AG Nuernberg, HRB 16746, GF: Markus Rex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
