Hi,
until a few days ago, I was using samba to print to a laserjet
attached to a NT box. Today I needed to print a C program, using a2ps, but
printing doesn't work anymore. I *think* I upgraded samba recently, but I
don't recall how long ago...
I have this on /etc/printcap
lp|lj|hpljiip|HP Laserjet IIp:\
:lp=smb:bq=smb:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hpljiip:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:if=/usr/sbin/ljet2p-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
smb|samba|Gateway to shared printer on NT box:\
:lp=/dev/null:sd=/var/spool/lpd/smb:\
:if=/usr/local/bin/smbprint:
it's set up to do bounce queueing from lj to smb, so the input gets
filtered thru magicfilter.
I can print using something like (on a shell prompt)
cat file.filtered_thru_magicfilter | /usr/bin/smbclient \
"\\\\$server\\$service" $password \
-U $user -c "print -" -P >> $logfile
This is in fact the line I have in smbprint. The variables are ok. (I
inserted a "set > $tempfile" just before this command, they ARE ok).
file.filtered_thru_magicfilter is the file sitting in /var/spool/lpd/smb
waiting to be printed.
From the status.smb,
printing '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', start, attempt 650 at 13:02:34
opening '/dev/null' at 13:02:34, attempt 1 at 13:02:34
accounting at start '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' at 13:02:34
printing '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', file 1 '(stdin)', size 2309111, format 'f'

write error after 57344 bytes 'Broken pipe' at 13:02:34
smb: write error after 57344 bytes - Broken pipe at 13:02:34
subserver status 'JFAIL' for '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' at 13:02:34

job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', retrying job at 13:02:34
sleeping 10 secs before retry at 13:02:34
Looking at the file in the spool directory:
bellatrix# hexdump -n 10 -s 57340 file.filtered_thru_magicfilter
000dffc fc0f f80f 1e00 00e8 2004
^^^^^
Could it be that lprng is choking on the 00's?
I have:
Versions of the packages samba depends on:
netbase Version: 3.01-1.1
ldso Version: 1.9.6-2
libc5 Version: 5.4.33-7
libpam0 Version: 0.56-2
libpwdb0 Version: 0.54preD-2
Versions of the packages (lprng|magicfilter) depend on:
libc6 Version: 2.0.6-0.3
ncurses3.4 Version: 1.9.9g-6
Any ideas? Thanks in advance...
