Hello, group. I am not sure that this is a Samba problem, but it ONLY happens when I print via Samba, so here it goes. I also wonder if this is a similar problem to the current thread of "Disconnect problems". I have a laptop that is running RedHat 8.0. I use a Proxim HRF PCMCIA card for my home network. I use the rlmod.o module to drive the Proxim card.
My other computer is a desktop computer that is running WinXP Pro. It uses a Proxim HRF USB adapter. It has the printer, a Canon BJC240 attached to it. The below problem is identical with both LPRng and CUPS. CUPS seems to work best overall, so that is what I am using. PROBLEM: I print a document from the (linux) laptop, example "lpr 4ltrwrd.ps". It is completely spooled onto the windows machine, but as soon as the document is fully spooled, the Windows USB adapter turns off, but the ncpa.cpl still shows this connection as "enabled". I know that it is not, however, because I can not transfer data, and the light on the adapter is off. I can "disable" then "enable" the connection on the windows machine, and all is well again until I print another document. *note* I cannot re-enable the connection until the document has fully printed*. BTW, since the document is spooled onto the WIN XP box, it subsequently prints completely and without error. Any suggestions?
