Hi all!
I am having some problems with printing to a windows shared printer
over the network. It is a NEC SuperScript 860.
If I do "lpr -Pnec myfile.txt" then the green light goes
blink-blink...blink-blink...blink-blink...
which means "PCL data left in printer". Pressing the button on the front
makes the text print.
However, if I attempt to print from lyx then I get what looks like
the contents of a dvi to my untrained eye.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I am using lpr, not lprng.
Here is my /etc/printcap:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
lp|lj|hplj4l|HP Laserjet 4L:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4l:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/etc/magicfilter/ljet4l-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
nec:\
:lp=/dev/null:sh:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/nec:\
:if=/usr/sbin/smbprint:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The local hplj4l works fine.
Here is /usr/sbin/smbprint with a pile of comments removed:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
#!/bin/sh -x
logfile=/tmp/smb-print.log
(
echo translate
echo "print -"
cat
) | smbclient "//alpha/NEC" -N -P >> $logfile
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance
Ian
