I have configured it and i can print perfectly from Macs . Now , wanting to share some laser printers with Samba (v.1.9.18p7) , i have followed the instructions reported in "Installing and Using PPR" and changed /etc/smb.conf as follows: [pprproto] comment = PPR prototype print share print command = /usr/ppr/bin/ppr -d %p -e responder -w log -m samba -r %m-%I lpq command = /usr/ppr/bin/ppop lpq %p lprm command = /usr/ppr/bin/ppop -X %m@samba cancel %p-%j lppause command = /usr/ppr/bin/ppop -X %m@samba hold %p-%j lpresume command = /usr/ppr/bin/ppop -X %m@samba release %p-%j # printing = bsd ------> copied in [global] browseable = no printer = null printable = yes public = yes writable = no create mode = 0700 path = /spool/samba/printspool include = /etc/ppr/smb-include.conf then i run /usr/ppr/bin/ppr2samba so that i am able to see the printers with win explorer . When i print with a Win95/98 box everything seems to work (no error messages) but the printer doesn't print anything and a "ppop list all" dosn't show anything too. But , if i look into the spool directory ( /spool/samba/printspool ) there is a job named "stazio.a31112" . If i "vi" this job , i see something like this: %!PS-Adobe-3.1^M %%Title: Resi.xls^M %%Creator: ADOBEPS4.DRV Version 4.20^M %%CreationDate: 10/28/99 08:40:19^M %%For: STAZIONE-H^M %%BoundingBox: (atend)^M %%Pages: (atend)^M %%PageOrder: Special^M %%DocumentNeededResources: (atend)^M %%DocumentSuppliedResources: (atend)^M %%DocumentSuppliedFeatures: (atend)^M %%DocumentData: Clean7Bit^M %%LanguageLevel: 3^M %%TargetDevice: (LaserWriter 8500) (3010.103) 24^M %%EndComments^M ^M I think the ^M symbol is due to a CR / LF problem , but i have no idea on how to solve it so , can someone help me ?? Thank in advance , bye Claudio Benedetti
