Update: I reconfigured my printcap files to reflect a raw setup like you had listed.
I can now print to my network printers (although one of them keeps printing a banner page... could be a jetdirect issue), but I still get the "Failed to open,retrying" on the queue and I can't see any of the jobs listed in the queue. Once the print job clears, the error message goes away. Any more suggestions?

What does your /etc/printcap have listed for the printer ports? mine are: :rm=192.168.2.2 :rp=raw JIm > -----Original Message----- > From: JUSTIN GERRY [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 2:10 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: RE: [Samba] Win2k Printing Problems > > > I made all the changes you suggested.
