Hi, I just upgraded our office fileserver to potato, running samba 2.0.7-2, lprng 3.6.12-6 and an HP LaserJet 4050 TN connected to the LAN. Everything worked fine until the upgrade from slink to potato.
The following (very) weird thing happens now: - when I lpr a file from the Linux box directly (eg /etc/passwd), it prints correctly (-> LAN OK, Printer OK) - when I rlpr the same file to our Win2k server (sorry, yes, we have one), it prints, too (-> LAN OK, Printer OK) - when I connect to my printer share \\server\hplj4050tn using smbclient and tell it to "print /etc/passwd", it does as it should (-> Samba printing also OK) - I can connect to the network shares of my Samba machine. I can even install the printer correctly. (Samba ok?) - when I try to print from any of the WinXX machines in the office (no matter if NT 4 or 2000), it just doesn't print at all. It won't even appear in the Windows print spooler. However, I get the following error message by mail: --- >From alexlist Wed Jun 21 14:27:36 2000 Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2000 14:27:36 +0200 From: Alexander List <alexlist> To: alexlist Subject: Rejected print job Your print job was automatically rejected as an invalid data type. Cannot print PJL files on this printer. --- Did anyone experience similar problems? I have no clue how to solve this problem so far... Thanks for any hints Alexander List
