Hello, I just moved from SuSE 7.0 to SuSE 7.1 by reinstalling. I use HP 2100TN JetDirect printer. I use kernel-2.4.2, LPRng-3.6.26, ifhp-3.4.4, Samba-2.0.7 Printing from Linux server works just as before. Printing from Windows clients has problems. I set it up just like before but any print job from Windows takes its while and then spits out junk: -------------------------- ERROR: timeout OFFENDING COMMAND: timeout STACK: -------------------------- Printing from clients is basically impossible. Here are important directory permissions: /var/spool: drwxr-xr-x 3 lp lp 56 Mar 31 14:00 lpd drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 35 Apr 1 19:04 samba /var/spool/lpd: drwx------ 2 lp lp 332 Apr 1 19:26 smurf /var/spool/lpd/smurf: -rw------- 1 lp lp 8986 Apr 1 19:26 acct -rw------- 1 lp lp 270 Apr 1 19:04 cfA307mail.mydomain.com -rw------- 1 lp lp 0 Mar 31 14:06 control.smurf -rw------- 1 lp lp 103522 Apr 1 19:04 dfA307mail.mydomain.com -rw------- 1 lp lp 557 Apr 1 19:26 hfA307 -rw------- 1 lp lp 0 Mar 31 14:06 log -rw------- 1 lp lp 19651 Apr 1 19:04 lpq.0 -rw------- 1 lp lp 6 Apr 1 19:26 smurf -rw------- 1 lp lp 9819 Apr 1 19:26 status -rw------- 1 lp lp 10288 Apr 1 19:26 status.smurf -rw------- 1 lp lp 6 Apr 1 19:26 unspooler.smurf Samba runs as root. here is my simple /etc/printcap: smurf:cm=Network Printer smurf:\ :lp=smurf.mydomain.com%9100:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P:\ :ifhp=model=hp2100,status@:\ :sh:\ :filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp:\ :mx#0 Here is my /etc/smb.conf: [global] workgroup = SHADOWWARRIOR server string = Samba %v on %L domain logons = yes wins support = yes name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast security = user os level = 34 local master = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY time server = yes logon script = %U.bat keep alive = 30 guest account = nobody kernel oplocks = false log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m lock directory = /var/lock/samba hosts allow = 192.168.1. interfaces = 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 load printers = yes encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd unix password sync = True passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *new*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *changed* passwd chat debug = True update encrypted = yes browseable = no config file = /etc/smb.conf.%U [netlogon] comment = The domain logon service path = /etc/samba/logon public = no writeable = no browseable = no [printers] path = /var/spool/samba print ok = yes printing = lprng printable = yes printcap name = /etc/printcap guest ok = yes public = yes [smurf] path = /var/spool/samba print ok = yes printing = lprng printable = yes guest ok = yes public = yes print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc hold %p %j lpresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc release %p %j queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p stop queueresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p start file /etc/smb.conf.nobody looks same. Users log on as nobody and file sharing works. Printing is the problem. I got jetdirect interface and client network card interfaces defined in /etc/hosts.
