Hi list,

I have troubles with printing on a HP Deskjet 1220C (connected on network through jet direct device).

I have a print server, which use LPRng and allow clients to print on this 1220c printer as well as laserjet printers.

If client is Linux, I can print on all printers. So I guess my LPRng config is good.

Another server runs Samba 3. This server's printcap redirect jobs to my print server. So I have:

Win client <-> Samba 3 server <-> Print server <-> Printers

If my Win client (2k) wants to print on a Laser printer, it prints. (though I have a little issue: windows always says that I'm going to print twice the pages. I mean, if my print job is 3 pages, Windows says "6 pages" but only 3 is printed)

Anyway, it prints.

But if I want to print on Deskjet 1220c, nothing happens.
In smb.conf, if I use
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p %s
then my job is not deleted on server, so I try to print it with command line like this:


lpr -Php1220c /var/spool/lpd/samba/smbprn.00000012.rG1Kms

But even like this, nothing prints. (lpr -Php1220c /etc/passwd works)

It's like there was a problem in the job. So I tried
use client driver = yes
and installed the driver on the windows box, but the result is the same.

I know that I can't share a deskjet printer on a NT4 server when I use win2000 clients...

Somebody has the same troubles?

Thanks.

A. Paul
