You are right. I should be more persistent. OK. I am
now doing a project which uses a Thermal Printer to
print receipts. This is a "Fujitsu" printer which
prints paper with dimension 80x297mm. The model is
FP410. A very rare printer. So Redhat 9 doesn't have
it in their list.
I am able to send print job perfectly to this printer
using smbclient. But I failed to do so using lpr
because in Print Configuration, I couldn't find a
matching driver(I suspect this is the reason).
Everytime I send a print job using lpr, the printer
prints some meaningless and long numbers. It seems to
be me some like wrong conversion or wrong driver
issues.
Wait, to say to print something meaningless is not
exactly right. The print output has some connections
with the file I wanted to print, but I can't figure
out what is going on.
- The file I want to print : /etc/hosts (by lpr -P
FITFP-41 /etc/hosts, the file only has 5 lines)
- The print output :
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%RBINumberCopies:1
%%Page: (atend)
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792
%%Creator: texttops/CUPS v.1.1.17
%%CreationDate: Mon 25 Aug 2003 05:(Skip...)
%%Title: hosts
%%For : root
...
..(Skip, I off the printer otherwise I won't know when
will it stop.)
...
You see? The right file is sent but the wrong content
is printed out. What is happening?
I paste my smb.conf below. I hope it won't stress you
up. Please let me know if you spot any problems.
Once again, thanks a lot.
