How do you get a printer mapped by Samba to allow duplex printing, or better yet, to set duplex printing as the default?
We're trying to migrate an NT4 domain to Samba, with a Solaris 7 server as the new PDC and print server. If our HP LaserJet 8000 DN is mapped via the old NT print server (\\OLDBOX\printer1), printing is duplex by default, but the printer properties allow the users to change to simplex if necessary. When the same printer is mapped via the Samba server (\\SOLSMB\printer1), all printing is simplex, and the fields on the printer properties tab that should allow changing between duplex and simplex aren't even displayed. The printer itself appears to be properly configured: duplex unit installed, duplexing turned on. However, consecutive identical print jobs from the NT server and Samba server show up duplex and simplex, respectively. Test pages show identical driver files, or identically named driver files. Thanks in advance for any information that will help us get the printers configured to print duplex when accessed through Samba. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
