Re: SMB Printing

["nate@firetrail.com" <nate@firetrail.com>]

after about 3 hours of playin with it i got the smbprint script to
work(part of the problem was the printer didnt like the laserjet filter so
im using a postscript filter now) i can do

cat filename | smb-printredir-ascii

and it prints..

if i try to set it up through lprng i get an error:

IF filter msg - 'Make_passthrough: pid 6305, execve
'/bin/smb-printredir-ascii' failed - 'Exec format error'' at
2000-05-25-12:32:21.126 ## identifier=root@ip- 97+302 number=302
process=6304

2000-05-25-12:32:21.130 ## identifier root@ip-197+302 number=302
process=6303

to simplify things the script is currently(/bin/smb-printredir-ascii:

logfile=/tmp/smb-print.log
                                                                                
filter_name=aps-PS_800dpi-letter-ascii-mono

server=printserver-noc
service=HPLASERJET4
password=""

echo " `date` : server $server, service $service, filter $filter_name" >>
$logfile

( echo "print -" 
/var/lib/apsfilter/filter/$filter_name ) | \
/usr/bin/smbclient "\\\\$server\\$service" -N -P >> $logfile


and my printcap:

ascii|PS_800dpi-letter-ascii-mono|PS_800dpi ascii mono:\
        :lp=/dev/null:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/PS_800dpi-letter-ascii-mono:\
        :lf=/var/spool/lpd/PS_800dpi-letter-ascii-mono/log:\
        :if=/bin/smb-printredir-ascii:\
        :af=/var/spool/lpd/PS_800dpi-letter-ascii-mono/acct:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sf:\
        :sh:

lp|lp2|PS_800dpi-letter-auto-mono|PS_800dpi auto mono:\
        :lp=/dev/null:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/PS_800dpi-letter-auto-mono:\
        :if=/bin/smb-printredir-auto:\
        :af=/var/spool/lpd/PS_800dpi-letter-auto-mono/acct:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:

im running potato with lprng 3.6.12-5, again i can use the smbprint script
fine but lprng rejects it for some reason, and i cant find any more
detailed info then the above from ascii.status

any other ideas ??
