I have magicfilter installed, and I suspect that if I could feed my
printjobs through it these issues would be fixed; however, I don't know
how to use magicfilter since the if in my printcap is taken by the
smbprint script.
not being a printer man I thought that adding a redirection level
(with :rp:) in your printcap would solve this, like
lp:smb-printer:\
:lp=:rp=raw-smb-printer:sh:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/smb-printer:\
:if=/your/magic-filter/here:
raw-smb-printer:\
:lp=/dev/null:sh:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/raw-smb-printer:\
:if=/usr/local/samba/bin/smbprint:
First, the rm= trick you sent doesn't seem to be working. Now the
printer's not receiving anything.
Second, the answer to your request.
Set up your /etc/printcap like so:
lp|hplj2100|HP LaserJet 2100:\
:cm=Karen's HP LaserJet 2100:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj2100:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/bin/smbprint:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/hplj2100/lp-acct:\
:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
The smbprint script seems to want the acct file to be in the spooler
directory.
The script itself must be executable and be in the location that matches
your if= line. My permissions are daemon.lp rwxr-xr--.
The script expects a .config file in the spooler directory (see the
script for details; I've added a username field to the script).
And here's the script itself:
#!/bin/sh
# This script is an input filter for printcap printing on a unix machine. It
# uses the smbclient program to print the file to the specified smb-based
# server and service.
# For example you could have a printcap entry like this
#
# smb:lp=/dev/null:sd=/usr/spool/smb:sh:if=/usr/local/samba/smbprint
#
# which would create a unix printer called "smb" that will print via this
# script. You will need to create the spool directory /usr/spool/smb with
# appropriate permissions and ownerships for your system.
# Set these to the server and service you wish to print to
# In this example I have a WfWg PC called "lapland" that has a printer
# exported called "printer" with no password.
#
# Script further altered by hamiltom@ecnz.co.nz (Michael Hamilton)
# so that the server, service, and password can be read from
# a /usr/var/spool/lpd/PRINTNAME/.config file.
#
# Script further modified by Richard Sharpe to fix some things.
# Get rid of the -x on the first line, and add parameters
#
# -t now causes translate to be used when sending files
#
# Script further modified by Kent West (westk@acu.edu) so that
# a username can be read from the .config file; this is
# useful if printing in an NT domain environment and your
# Linux username/password is not the same as your NT account.
#
# In order for this to work the /etc/printcap entry must include an
# accounting file (af=...):
# (which seems to need to be in the spooler directory - KW)
#
# cdcolour:\
# :cm=CD IBM Colorjet on 6th:\
# :sd=/var/spool/lpd/cdcolour:\
# :af=/var/spool/lpd/cdcolour/acct:\
# :if=/usr/local/etc/smbprint:\

# :lp=/dev/null:
#
# The /usr/var/spool/lpd/PRINTNAME/.config file should contain:
# server=PC_SERVER

# username="username"
# password="password"
#
# E.g.
# server=PAULS_PC
# service=CJET_371
# username="bubba"
# password="bubpass"
#
# Debugging log file, change to /dev/null if you like.

logfile=/tmp/smb-print.log
