Yeah, it really helps me that you come after I managed to get ANYTHING out of that printer,

I am so very sorry, that I have not been *constatntly* watching the list for your feedback, and that once I had responded to your second mail also, your "SOLVED" mail appeared within a minute in my mailbox.

Now that *some* feedback from you is forthcoming, it is not what
was asked for, unfortunately.

and say that all I do is wrong.

Did I say so? Did I say "All"?


You have been asked a few very specific questions to help solve
your problem which you never bothered to answer.

The versions are the the one installed by
RedHat Linux 9 (shrike).

Now, if I knew by heart which versions of CUPS and Samba RH9 do install, I wouldn't need to ask further...

I installed the
printer using the redhat utility, and I
configured samba using, first the redhat
utility, and then fiddling with the smb.conf.

Any drivers used by the Windows clients are
their own (postscript). Dont ask me how
cupsomatic got in there, 'cause I dont know.

Until you can come up with a better idea of
installing the printer, I'll manage with this
one, thank you very much.

And just how is getting this to work properly
confusing to others?


I tell you:


* You was posting a smb.conf with a
  "print command = lpr -P %p -o raw %s -r" and some
  other manually set commands.

* Your posted smb.conf is quite in opposition to what
  the smb.conf man page advices.

* The "man page" says this:      ".......If  SAMBA  is  compiled against
              libcups, then printcap = cups uses the CUPS API to  submit
              jobs, etc. Otherwise it maps to the System V commands with
              the -oraw option for printing, i.e. it  uses  lp  -c  -d%p
              -oraw;  rm %s.  With printing = cups, and if SAMBA is com-�
              piled against libcups, any manually set print command will
              be ignored."

So *your* questions have been ansered. Maybe not well
enough...

Cheers, Kurt
