How about if you send 2 jobs from the server itself? What makes you think
it's anything to do with Samba?

Hi everyone.
We have a 12 computer Samba network working well except for the printer. It is an Epson Stylus 670. If 2 jobs are queued at the same time it blocks up. It's fine if we can control it to just one job at a time.
Any workaround for this?
Thanks, Steve.

I'm not sure what you mean by "blocks up," but I may have a similar problem that I am certain is not caused by Samba. I have a DeskJet940 that I print to through apsfilter. If I queue two postscript jobs by entering > enscript file1; enscript file2 or even > lpr file1.ps file2.ps somewhere before the end of the first file I sometimes get some of the output of the second file, then invariably followed by small amounts of gibberish on a huge number of mostly blank pages. I am guessing that the PCL output from gs for the the two files is getting interleaved, as though a lock were not being honored properly. If I print the two files separately, with sufficient delay between them, there is never any problem. I am still running SuSE 6.4, with lprold-3.0.48-31, not lprng or cups, so it's possible our problems are different. I've looked for information in the archives on this, but found nothing. Ideas anyone? Thanks. Jim On Fri, 30 Nov 2001, andy wrote:

Hi. I did the same from the server and it's OK. I can't test it with the clients since they don't run Linux. I've tried everywhere too but if you do get anything on this I'm sure it would be helpful to us too. Steve On Friday 30 November 2001 06:01, you wrote:

Hi Steve, There might be another way to print to the Linux Printer apart from samba. There is a service on Windows (at least NT4) that is called lpd-service (or similar). I need to use this service to access a jet direct box. You would need to set the printserver IP and printer name (on linux server) in the windows box. You need to add the Win-Boxes IP's to /etc/hosts.lpd. I must also say that I tried that at work some time ago and failed, but I am more and more sure I forgot to add the clients to hosts.lpd. The "worst" I remember is that I "lost" jobs printing with samba. Sometimes paper stucks in the paintjet and ejects after the next job's started. I cannot test it right now, for obvious reasons I don't use windows at home and return to work on wednesday Juergen
