Woo. Finally have an internet connection at home now.... :) So to give
some more specific details...
The entry in /etc/printcap looks like...
lp|cdj-950c:\
:ml=0:\
:mx=0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/lp.acct:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:lpd_bounce=true:\
:if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:
... I set this up with the GUI tool so I'm assuming it's okay.
The /etc/samba/smb.conf entries look like....
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[printer$]
comment = "Printer Driver Files"
path = /usr/share/samba
guest ok = Yes
[cdj-950c]
comment = "HP DeskJet 950c"
path = /tmp
create mask = 0700
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
printer driver = "HP DeskJet 950c"
printer driver location = \\%h\PRINTER$
.... and the global options (testparm | grep print) look like....
total print jobs = 0
load printers = Yes
printcap name = /etc/printcap
addprinter command =
deleteprinter command =
show add printer wizard = Yes
printer admin =
min print space = 0
max print jobs = 1000
printable = No
printing = lprng
print command = lpr -r -P%p %s
printer name =
printer driver =
printer driver file = /etc/samba/printers.def
printer driver location =
... /now/ can anyone provide any tips? :) Hmm.. one possibility that comes
to mind is the windows files under /usr/share/samba have become corrupted
since I last used them. I hope that's not it...
