Hi all, I have two pc one with SuSE 7.0 and one with SuSE 7.1. Whenever I try to print a document with a2ps to a printer connected to a windows pc using samba I get a perfect printing from SuSE 7.0 and a garbage printing from SuSE 7.1. The printing is correct in both cases when I use the raw device. The printer is a brother 2060 hl and I use the ljet4 driver. apsfilter and samba_print looks the same in the two setup. What else should I try to get a correct printing even from SuSE7.1? TIA Maurizio

I have no idea what the problem is or was, but I had the same problem with 7.1 and my HP 812C. Yast2 can never auto-detect it anymore, but can be seen manually. I was getting very light text until recently. Do not know what fixed it, although last night the whole computer froze after the printer ran out of paper. I amimagine the printer tried to send an error through the USB device, which the kernel or apsfilter could not handle. In fact the whole printer switched itself off too. Matt

Matt I had the same problem with printing over Samba under SuSE 7.1. Someone else here on the list solved it for me. The problem is the SuSE 7.1 samba rpms. samba-2.0.7-107.rpm and samba-2.0.8.rpm from the SuSE 7.1 updates
Hi Guys,

I had the same problem with printing over Samba under SuSE 7.1. Someone else here on the list solved it for me. The problem is the SuSE 7.1 samba rpms. samba-2.0.7-107.rpm and samba-2.0.8.rpm from the SuSE 7.1 updates directory don't work with printing to a shared windows printer. I have found 2 samba rpms that do work: the samba-2.0.7-72.rpm that comes with SuSE 7.0 or the latest samba-2.0.9.rpm from the SuSE 7.0 updates ftp site - in the n1 directory IIRC.
Hope this helps,
Mark

To answer your question more directly, does the printer print ok locally? Matt

Yes, it does. And jobs from Windows clients and SuSE7.0 client are printed ok. Could it be a ghostscript problem? I will investigate. Maurizio
