Re: Need help configuring samba
Ah, ok, now we're getting somewhere. magicfilter *thinks* your printer can't handle
what's coming to it although it *does* recognize the data. Look at what the if=XXXX is
in /etc/printcap. This file will actually be a shell script. Each line recognizes a
file type and tells how to print it (or reject it!) You need lines like:
# HP Printer Job Language (PJL)
0 \033%-12345X cat
0 "@PJL " cat
0 @PJL\t cat
0 @PJL\r cat
0 @PJL\n cat
Which sends the data straight on to the printer. If instead of "cat" you have "reject
blah blah blah" then you're using the wrong filter or your filter is screwed. Either
way if your printer really can handle the files then just change the 'reject ...' to
'cat' and it should work fine.
