Ok. Hi everybody. It's my first posting here. If I make something wrong,
please notice me . And excuse me for my evil english (I will improve :-) )
.
I'm trying to upgrade samba from 2.2.4 to 3.0.14 version and I would like to
use the same smb.conf that I had. But something looks wrong in printing
system , there are a lot of new options and I don't know why my old
parameters don't work ..
I use samba through Windows XP/98/2000 and a MS-DOS program that sends print
works to a linux machine with samba. With version 2.2.4 all seemed OK and
worked fine. With version 3.0.14 printers don't work. I need raw printing.
For example, this line (print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r)
doesn't work in new version. Do I replace this with printing=cups and cups
options=raw ? I did it and printing system doesn't work OK ..
I write here my old options :
[Global]
printcap name = lpstat
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
create mask = 0700
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
use client driver = Yes
print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r
lpq command = lpstat -o %p
lprm command = cancel %p-%j
browseable = No
This config doesn't work anyway. Cups doesn't receive works.
Now I write the new options I'm trying to use with 3.0.14 version:
[Global]
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
printcap = cups
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
create mask = 0700
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
use client driver = Yes
;printing = cups
lpq command = lpstat.cups -o %p
lprm command = cancel %p-%j
browseable = No
And edit mime.types and mime.convs in cups config for application/octet-....
Printing works with this config, but some of them are printed unformatted,
with fonts bigger than old config . I send the work via (i.e.) cat work.txt
> lp0 and cups prints it OK . Works sended via Word, Excel, etc. are OK too.
There is something wrong with some works sended via MS-DOS programs (like
edit program) but I don't know what is the problem .
Any suggestions ??
