RE: LPRng: RE: How do I get the @#$$% job name to show instead ofsmbprn.yad a.yada?
I use: print command = /opt/LPRng/bin/lpr -P%p -U%U -J'%J' -r %s ...I had the same problem you are having until I added: -J'%J' -- I don't remember whether I used -J%J and that didn't work, but I would tend to use double quotes so there may be a reason why I didn't here. Give this one a whack (well, with the correct PATH to lpr, obviously, minus the options you don't want (though IMHO, you want them all)) and let me know if it works... ...unless of course, you solved this one already, in which case I apologize.

Question: I am not sure what you mean by the Lanier displaying anything. Is there a display on the printer? Is this a network printer that talks to the server? This may be an idiosyncracy of the lanier. Using the SmartnetMonitor's History diplay; alternatively there's a web browser interface that also displays the History . Suggestion: Is there a way to modify the print command in smb.conf so that it mv's the job from samba.xxx to ProperJobName, and then print the job with lpr and forget about the %J parameter? For example, without trying this, I could certainly see putting into the smb.conf print command something like this: mv %s %J lpr %J That sounds like it might work. Other questions: Are you getting the right name when viewed from the windows clients? If lpq is working properly on the server, do you have the correct lpq command in your smb.conf? eg. lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -PWin4LinZ53 I believe so...oddly, on the Lanier driver, all jobs shown in the Windows status box have 12/31/1969 as the date. The Lanier's History shows the correct info. Does the user printing have permissions to use lpq? I think so-otherwise no info would be displayed? Print jobs can be cancelled (lprm) and the printers paused. Have you specifed which printing system (lprng) you are using in your smb.conf file? BSD is the default, or, at least it was. yes Another suggestion: You might use tcpdump to monitor what is sent back and forth between the server and the clients. I would THINK the server would be sending back the jobname for display, but, I haven't tried this. Joel I had a flash at about 5:30 this morning. The -J/-U in lpr's command line affects the Banner info...which may be different from what's being parsed/sent as the job info? If so, why does the Banner option for the user (-U) change info in the Lanier's History, but the jobname (-J) doesn't? It happens whether I'm sending jobs through Samba or from the command line.
