[SLE] SMB printing problem
Hi, I set up my Linux machine as a samba server. I also set the Win 98 machine to print to the Linux connected printer. The problem I have is that the file is sent to the queue but it just sits there in the lpd queue and does not print. If I print something from the Linux machine, then both docs are printed, the one from Win98 and the one from Linux. How can I automatically print the file once it is in the Linux queue?

I know there is a "lineprinter guardian daemon" for plp (appeared some time ago in the german i'X magazin) it takes care that jobs aren't forgotten. I viewed that problem too, time ago. I found, that a "lpc up all|<printer>" did the job. the guardian daemon didn't work since I used lprold. guess what: a cron job doing "lpc up laser" every 5 minutes worked wonders. <grin> If you like some info about the daemon thing, let me know in PM. I'll dig... Juergen
