Hi,

I have RH 7.1 with Samba installed. I'm able to print directly to the laser printer (JetDirect Print Server). Using Samba, I'm trying to share out laser print to Windows workstation.

Base Option:
path: /var/spool/samba

Security Options:
guest ok: Yes
host allow: 192.168.1.
host deny: none

Logging Options:
status: Yes

Tuning Options:
min print space: 2000

Printing OPtion:
printable: Yes
postscript: No
printing: bsd
print command: lpr -r -P%p %s
lpq command: lpq -P%p
lprm command: lprm -P%p %j
printer: lp

Browse Option:
browsable: Yes

available: Yes


In the folder /var/spool/samba, I'm able to see PrintingTest with "rwxr--r--" permission.

I'm having the problem from the spooler to the printer. Do I need to change the print command?

Thank you,
