Re: SMB Printing
I had this problem too. I think it's because from the point of view of
lprng the input filter outputs nothing. And that's true. You take all
the data from the input, send it to the SMB printer, but after this
you break the pipe by outputting nothing. Try just add echo "whatever"
as a last line of the script. It can be anything, it'll go to
/dev/null anyway. Maybe this helps.
