Re: [SLE] Samba printing jam

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

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.

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

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.
