I have an HP PhotoSmart (DeskJet) printer that I want to attach to my Samba Server. Everything is connected, and print jobs from the PC blindly fly over to UNIX no problem. The problem is during the printing. I get about 1/2" to 1" of my document printed out and then the printing stops with that obnoxious blinking light. I think the problem is not the print job because: lptest > /dev/lpt0 does NOTHING. I disabled the printer, and sent over my print job again (Windows 98 Print Test Page). When I `cat' the file to the port I get the same behavior. If I connect the printer to the PC and do a: type test.fil > lpt0: it works (okay, I forget the exact string, but it did work 8). It appears that the printer is reseting after UNIX drops the Print Request line? help! brian +-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------+ He rides a cycle of mighty days, and \ Wm Brian and Lori McCane represents the last great schizm among\ McCane Consulting the gods.
