Yes > Raw print queue or the CUPS driver? Raw, w2k driver installed from print$ share. This is not a manufacturer's driver with all the bell's and whistles either, just simple default w2k minidriver. > I have had some issues printing reports from Access to some of our > printers that claim to be PCL6 compatible ( and have PCL6 drivers ), but > only work with the PCL5 drivers. > > What happens when you try to print? Here's the latest. When I have some samba printers installed as the default printer, File... Print-Preview causes the window to momentarily flash light like it redrew itself, but that's it. File... Print (Ctrl-P) does not seem to do anything. No print property windows or anything. With Access 2000, everything worked. With the same printers on a windows server, File... Print-Preview causes the window (that previously just flashed light like a redraw) to display the preview in the same window. Print-Preview toggles back and forth between these views. File... Print (Ctrl-P) brings up a "Print" window, and here I can see the samba printers that didn't work if they were the "default printer", select them, and print using them. But if those printers were previously the "default printer", none of it works. Through trial and error, I've discovered that our HP LaserJet 4050 and 8100 on the samba server both fail if they are the default, but oddly enough a HP LaserJet IIISi on the same server works fine. If I install one of the same failing drivers (8100) as a local printer (even while keeping existing driver), print preview and other operations work fine. It's only when the samba printer is selected as the default printer that I have problems :(. ~ Daniel ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is the property of Time Inc. or its affiliates.
