after about 3 hours of playin with it i got the smbprint script to
work(part of the problem was the printer didnt like the laserjet filter so
im using a postscript filter now) i can do
cat filename | smb-printredir-ascii
and it prints..
if i try to set it up through lprng i get an error:
IF filter msg - 'Make_passthrough: pid 6305, execve
'/bin/smb-printredir-ascii' failed - 'Exec format error'' at
2000-05-25-12:32:21.126 ## [EMAIL PROTECTED] 97+302 number=302

to simplify things the script is currently(/bin/smb-printredir-ascii:
logfile=/tmp/smb-print.log
filter_name=aps-PS_800dpi-letter-ascii-mono
server=printserver-noc
service=HPLASERJET4
password=""
echo " `date` : server $server, service $service, filter $filter_name" >>
$logfile
( echo "print -"
/var/lib/apsfilter/filter/$filter_name ) | \
/usr/bin/smbclient "\\\\$server\\$service" -N -P >> $logfile
and my printcap:
ascii|PS_800dpi-letter-ascii-mono|PS_800dpi ascii mono:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/PS_800dpi-letter-ascii-mono:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/PS_800dpi-letter-ascii-mono/log:\
:if=/bin/smb-printredir-ascii:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/PS_800dpi-letter-ascii-mono/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sf:\
:sh:
lp|lp2|PS_800dpi-letter-auto-mono|PS_800dpi auto mono:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/PS_800dpi-letter-auto-mono:\
:if=/bin/smb-printredir-auto:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/PS_800dpi-letter-auto-mono/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
im running potato with lprng 3.6.12-5, again i can use the smbprint script
fine but lprng rejects it for some reason, and i cant find any more
detailed info then the above from ascii.status
any other ideas ??
thanks for the help im halfway there :)
