Post by Herwig BauernfeindPost by Doug BissettI have converted my systems to SAMBA, using EVFS as a client. Overall
it is working acceptably, with a few quirks.
I decided to try setting up one system as a print server. That appears
to be working, since I can print on a client, and the print job shows
up in the printer queue on the server. However, when that job is
released to the printer, it never prints. The printer wakes up, and
does everything except print.
Any ideas? Thanks...
You can print locally on the server?
Yes.
Post by Herwig BauernfeindWhat printer, what driver, which kind of port driver on the server,
It is a canon i960, using the canon i950 driver, as installed by eCS
2.0 Silver edition (the OMNI driver, I believe), using a USB port.
Post by Herwig Bauernfeindhow
does the smb.conf section look like?

=======================
Post by Herwig BauernfeindAre you using lpd/lpr or smbprint.exe on the server?
smbprint.exe I assume. As I said, the print job ends up in the local
print queue on the server, and it seems to go to the printer, but it
never prints.
