Printing through Samba
I have set a Samba server but I cant get windows clients to print
through it.
After a failed print job, if I try to print localy I get this error:
root@tramontana:/tmp# lp -d Epson tmp.print
lp: unable to print file: The requested resource is currently
unavailable on this server.
Though there seems to be no process on taking hold of lp.
I have tryed to change my print command in smb.conf to :
print command = cp %s /tmp/tmp.print
tmp.print turns out to be a binary file, if I try to print it, lp will
just stay there untill I stop it, the file won't get printed and from
now on I will get the above error message when trying to print.
This is my smb.conf print part:
[EpsonStylus]
printable=yes
# print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s
print command = cp %s /tmp/tmp.print
lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p
lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j
printer = Epson
printing = BSD
read only = yes
guest account = dadecal
guest ok = yes
And this is the log of a print try:
