-<title>Debugging Printing Problems</title>
-
-<sect1>
-<title>Introduction</title>
-
-<para>
-This is a short description of how to debug printing problems with
-Samba. This describes how to debug problems with printing from a SMB
-client to a Samba server, not the other way around. For the reverse
-see the examples/printing directory.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Ok, so you want to print to a Samba server from your PC. The first
-thing you need to understand is that Samba does not actually do any
-printing itself, it just acts as a middleman between your PC client
-and your Unix printing subsystem. Samba receives the file from the PC
-then passes the file to a external "print command". What print command
-you use is up to you.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The whole things is controlled using options in smb.conf. The most
-relevant options (which you should look up in the smb.conf man page)
-are:
-</para>
-
-<para><programlisting>
- [global]
- print command - send a file to a spooler
- lpq command - get spool queue status
- lprm command - remove a job
- [printers]
- path = /var/spool/lpd/samba
-</programlisting></para>
-
-<para>
-The following are nice to know about:
-</para>
-
-<para><programlisting>
- queuepause command - stop a printer or print queue
- queueresume command - start a printer or print queue
-</programlisting></para>
-
-<para>
-Example:
-</para>
-
-<para><programlisting>
- print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s
- lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p %s
- lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j
- queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p stop
- queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p start
-</programlisting></para>
-
-<para>
-Samba should set reasonable defaults for these depending on your
-system type, but it isn't clairvoyant. It is not uncommon that you
-have to tweak these for local conditions. The commands should
-always have fully specified pathnames, as the smdb may not have
-the correct PATH values.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-When you send a job to Samba to be printed, it will make a temporary
-copy of it in the directory specified in the [printers] section.
-and it should be periodically cleaned out. The lpr -r option
-requests that the temporary copy be removed after printing; If
-printing fails then you might find leftover files in this directory,
-and it should be periodically cleaned out. Samba used the lpq
-command to determine the "job number" assigned to your print job
-by the spooler.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The %&gt;letter&lt; are "macros" that get dynamically replaced with appropriate
-values when they are used. The %s gets replaced with the name of the spool
-file that Samba creates and the %p gets replaced with the name of the
-printer. The %j gets replaced with the "job number" which comes from
-the lpq output.
-</para>
-
-</sect1>
-
-<sect1>
-<title>Debugging printer problems</title>
-
-<para>
-One way to debug printing problems is to start by replacing these
-command with shell scripts that record the arguments and the contents
-of the print file. A simple example of this kind of things might
-be:
-</para>
-
-<para><programlisting>
- print command = /tmp/saveprint %p %s
-
- #!/bin/saveprint
- # we make sure that we are the right user
- /usr/bin/id -p >/tmp/tmp.print
- # we run the command and save the error messages
- # replace the command with the one appropriate for your system
- /usr/bin/lpr -r -P$1 $2 2>>&/tmp/tmp.print
-</programlisting></para>
-
-<para>
-Then you print a file and try removing it. You may find that the
-print queue needs to be stopped in order to see the queue status
-and remove the job:
-</para>
-
-<para><programlisting>
-
-h4: {42} % echo hi >/tmp/hi
-h4: {43} % smbclient //localhost/lw4
-added interface ip=10.0.0.4 bcast=10.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
-Password:
-Domain=[ASTART] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.7]
-smb: \> print /tmp/hi
-putting file /tmp/hi as hi-17534 (0.0 kb/s) (average 0.0 kb/s)
-smb: \> queue
-1049 3 hi-17534
-smb: \> cancel 1049
-Error cancelling job 1049 : code 0
-smb: \> cancel 1049
-Job 1049 cancelled
-smb: \> queue
-smb: \> exit
-</programlisting></para>
-
-<para>
-The 'code 0' indicates that the job was removed. The comment
-by the smbclient is a bit misleading on this.
-You can observe the command output and then and look at the
-/tmp/tmp.print file to see what the results are. You can quickly
-find out if the problem is with your printing system. Often people
-have problems with their /etc/printcap file or permissions on
-various print queues.
-</para>

-<title>What printers do I have?</title>
-
-<para>
-You can use the 'testprns' program to check to see if the printer
-name you are using is recognized by Samba. For example, you can
-use:
-</para>
-
-<para><programlisting>
- testprns printer /etc/printcap
-</programlisting></para>
-
-<para>
-Samba can get its printcap information from a file or from a program.
-You can try the following to see the format of the extracted
-information:
-</para>
-
-<para><programlisting>
- testprns -a printer /etc/printcap
-
- testprns -a printer '|/bin/cat printcap'
-</programlisting></para>
-
-</sect1>
-
-<sect1>
-<title>Setting up printcap and print servers</title>
-
-<para>
-You may need to set up some printcaps for your Samba system to use.
-It is strongly recommended that you use the facilities provided by
-the print spooler to set up queues and printcap information.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Samba requires either a printcap or program to deliver printcap
-information. This printcap information has the format:
-</para>
-
-<para><programlisting>
- name|alias1|alias2...:option=value:...
-</programlisting></para>
-
-<para>
-For almost all printing systems, the printer 'name' must be composed
-only of alphanumeric or underscore '_' characters. Some systems also
-allow hyphens ('-') as well. An alias is an alternative name for the
-printer, and an alias with a space in it is used as a 'comment'
-about the printer. The printcap format optionally uses a \ at the end of lines
-to extend the printcap to multiple lines.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Here are some examples of printcap files:
-</para>
-
-<para>
-<orderedlist>
-<listitem><para>
-pr just printer name
-</para></listitem>
-<listitem><para>
-pr|alias printer name and alias

-</orderedlist>
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Samba reads the printcap information when first started. If you make
-changes in the printcap information, then you must do the following:
-</para>
-
-<orderedlist>
-
-<listitem><para>
-make sure that the print spooler is aware of these changes.
-The LPRng system uses the 'lpc reread' command to do this.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-make sure that the spool queues, etc., exist and have the
-correct permissions. The LPRng system uses the 'checkpc -f'
-command to do this.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-You now should send a SIGHUP signal to the smbd server to have
-it reread the printcap information.
-</para></listitem>
-</orderedlist>
-
-</sect1>
-
-<sect1>
-<title>Job sent, no output</title>
-
-<para>
-This is the most frustrating part of printing. You may have sent the
-job, verified that the job was forwarded, set up a wrapper around
-the command to send the file, but there was no output from the printer.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-First, check to make sure that the job REALLY is getting to the
-right print queue. If you are using a BSD or LPRng print spooler,
-you can temporarily stop the printing of jobs. Jobs can still be
-submitted, but they will not be printed. Use:
-</para>
-
-<para><programlisting>
- lpc -Pprinter stop
-</programlisting></para>
-
-<para>
-Now submit a print job and then use 'lpq -Pprinter' to see if the
-job is in the print queue. If it is not in the print queue then
-you will have to find out why it is not being accepted for printing.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Next, you may want to check to see what the format of the job really
-was. With the assistance of the system administrator you can view
-the submitted jobs files. You may be surprised to find that these
-are not in what you would expect to call a printable format.
-You can use the UNIX 'file' utitily to determine what the job
-format actually is:
-</para>
-
-<para><programlisting>
- cd /var/spool/lpd/printer # spool directory of print jobs
- ls # find job files
- file dfA001myhost
-</programlisting></para>
-
-<para>
-You should make sure that your printer supports this format OR that
-your system administrator has installed a 'print filter' that will
-convert the file to a format appropriate for your printer.
-</para>
-
-</sect1>
-
-<sect1>
-<title>Job sent, strange output</title>
-
-<para>
-Once you have the job printing, you can then start worrying about
-making it print nicely.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The most common problem is extra pages of output: banner pages
-OR blank pages at the end.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-If you are getting banner pages, check and make sure that the
-printcap option or printer option is configured for no banners.
-If you have a printcap, this is the :sh (suppress header or banner
-page) option. You should have the following in your printer.
-</para>
-
-<para><programlisting>
- printer: ... :sh
-</programlisting></para>
-
-<para>
-If you have this option and are still getting banner pages, there
-is a strong chance that your printer is generating them for you
-automatically. You should make sure that banner printing is disabled
-for the printer. This usually requires using the printer setup software
-or procedures supplied by the printer manufacturer.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-If you get an extra page of output, this could be due to problems
-with your job format, or if you are generating PostScript jobs,
-incorrect setting on your printer driver on the MicroSoft client.
-For example, under Win95 there is a option:
-</para>
-
-<para><programlisting>
- Printers|Printer Name|(Right Click)Properties|Postscript|Advanced|
-</programlisting></para>
-
-<para>
-that allows you to choose if a Ctrl-D is appended to all jobs.
-This is a very bad thing to do, as most spooling systems will
-automatically add a ^D to the end of the job if it is detected as
-PostScript. The multiple ^D may cause an additional page of output.
-</para>
-
-</sect1>
-
-<sect1>
-<title>Raw PostScript printed</title>
-
-<para>
-This is a problem that is usually caused by either the print spooling
-system putting information at the start of the print job that makes
-the printer think the job is a text file, or your printer simply
-does not support PostScript. You may need to enable 'Automatic
-Format Detection' on your printer.
-</para>
-
-</sect1>
-
-<sect1>
-<title>Advanced Printing</title>
-
-<para>
-Note that you can do some pretty magic things by using your
-imagination with the "print command" option and some shell scripts.
-Doing print accounting is easy by passing the %U option to a print
-command shell script. You could even make the print command detect
-the type of output and its size and send it to an appropriate
-printer.
-</para>

-<title>Real debugging</title>

+This is a short description of how to debug printing problems with
+Samba. This describes how to debug problems with printing from a SMB
+client to a Samba server, not the other way around. For the reverse
+see the examples/printing directory.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Ok, so you want to print to a Samba server from your PC. The first
+thing you need to understand is that Samba does not actually do any
+printing itself, it just acts as a middleman between your PC client
+and your Unix printing subsystem. Samba receives the file from the PC
+then passes the file to a external "print command". What print command
+you use is up to you.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The whole things is controlled using options in smb.conf. The most
+relevant options (which you should look up in the smb.conf man page)
+are:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ [global]
+ print command - send a file to a spooler
+ lpq command - get spool queue status
+ lprm command - remove a job
+ [printers]
+ path = /var/spool/lpd/samba
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+The following are nice to know about:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ queuepause command - stop a printer or print queue
+ queueresume command - start a printer or print queue
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+Example:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s
+ lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p %s
+ lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j
+ queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p stop
+ queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p start
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+Samba should set reasonable defaults for these depending on your
+system type, but it isn't clairvoyant. It is not uncommon that you
+have to tweak these for local conditions. The commands should
+always have fully specified pathnames, as the smdb may not have
+the correct PATH values.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When you send a job to Samba to be printed, it will make a temporary
+copy of it in the directory specified in the [printers] section.
+and it should be periodically cleaned out. The lpr -r option
+requests that the temporary copy be removed after printing; If
+printing fails then you might find leftover files in this directory,
+and it should be periodically cleaned out. Samba used the lpq
+command to determine the "job number" assigned to your print job
+by the spooler.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The %&gt;letter&lt; are "macros" that get dynamically replaced with appropriate
+values when they are used. The %s gets replaced with the name of the spool
+file that Samba creates and the %p gets replaced with the name of the
+printer. The %j gets replaced with the "job number" which comes from
+the lpq output.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Debugging printer problems</title>
+
+<para>
+One way to debug printing problems is to start by replacing these
+command with shell scripts that record the arguments and the contents
+of the print file. A simple example of this kind of things might
+be:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ print command = /tmp/saveprint %p %s
+
+ #!/bin/saveprint
+ # we make sure that we are the right user
+ /usr/bin/id -p >/tmp/tmp.print
+ # we run the command and save the error messages
+ # replace the command with the one appropriate for your system
+ /usr/bin/lpr -r -P$1 $2 2>>&/tmp/tmp.print
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+Then you print a file and try removing it. You may find that the
+print queue needs to be stopped in order to see the queue status
+and remove the job:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+
+h4: {42} % echo hi >/tmp/hi
+h4: {43} % smbclient //localhost/lw4
+added interface ip=10.0.0.4 bcast=10.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
+Password:
+Domain=[ASTART] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.7]
+smb: \> print /tmp/hi
+putting file /tmp/hi as hi-17534 (0.0 kb/s) (average 0.0 kb/s)
+smb: \> queue
+1049 3 hi-17534
+smb: \> cancel 1049
+Error cancelling job 1049 : code 0
+smb: \> cancel 1049
+Job 1049 cancelled
+smb: \> queue
+smb: \> exit
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+The 'code 0' indicates that the job was removed. The comment
+by the smbclient is a bit misleading on this.
+You can observe the command output and then and look at the
+/tmp/tmp.print file to see what the results are. You can quickly
+find out if the problem is with your printing system. Often people
+have problems with their /etc/printcap file or permissions on
+various print queues.
+</para>
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>What printers do I have?</title>
+
+<para>
+You can use the 'testprns' program to check to see if the printer
+name you are using is recognized by Samba. For example, you can
+use:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ testprns printer /etc/printcap
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+Samba can get its printcap information from a file or from a program.
+You can try the following to see the format of the extracted
+information:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ testprns -a printer /etc/printcap
+
+ testprns -a printer '|/bin/cat printcap'
+</programlisting></para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Setting up printcap and print servers</title>
+
+<para>
+You may need to set up some printcaps for your Samba system to use.
+It is strongly recommended that you use the facilities provided by
+the print spooler to set up queues and printcap information.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Samba requires either a printcap or program to deliver printcap
+information. This printcap information has the format:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ name|alias1|alias2...:option=value:...
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+For almost all printing systems, the printer 'name' must be composed
+only of alphanumeric or underscore '_' characters. Some systems also
+allow hyphens ('-') as well. An alias is an alternative name for the
+printer, and an alias with a space in it is used as a 'comment'
+about the printer. The printcap format optionally uses a \ at the end of lines
+to extend the printcap to multiple lines.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Here are some examples of printcap files:
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem><para>
+pr just printer name
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+pr|alias printer name and alias
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+pr|My Printer printer name, alias used as comment
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+pr:sh:\ Same as pr:sh:cm= testing
+ :cm= \
+ testing
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+pr:sh Same as pr:sh:cm= testing
+ :cm= testing
+</para></listitem>
+</orderedlist>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Samba reads the printcap information when first started. If you make
+changes in the printcap information, then you must do the following:
+</para>
+
+<orderedlist>
+
+<listitem><para>
+make sure that the print spooler is aware of these changes.
+The LPRng system uses the 'lpc reread' command to do this.
+</para></listitem>
+
+<listitem><para>
+make sure that the spool queues, etc., exist and have the
+correct permissions. The LPRng system uses the 'checkpc -f'
+command to do this.
+</para></listitem>
+
+<listitem><para>
+You now should send a SIGHUP signal to the smbd server to have
+it reread the printcap information.
+</para></listitem>
+</orderedlist>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Job sent, no output</title>
+
+<para>
+This is the most frustrating part of printing. You may have sent the
+job, verified that the job was forwarded, set up a wrapper around
+the command to send the file, but there was no output from the printer.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+First, check to make sure that the job REALLY is getting to the
+right print queue. If you are using a BSD or LPRng print spooler,
+you can temporarily stop the printing of jobs. Jobs can still be
+submitted, but they will not be printed. Use:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ lpc -Pprinter stop
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+Now submit a print job and then use 'lpq -Pprinter' to see if the
+job is in the print queue. If it is not in the print queue then
+you will have to find out why it is not being accepted for printing.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Next, you may want to check to see what the format of the job really
+was. With the assistance of the system administrator you can view
+the submitted jobs files. You may be surprised to find that these
+are not in what you would expect to call a printable format.
+You can use the UNIX 'file' utitily to determine what the job
+format actually is:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ cd /var/spool/lpd/printer # spool directory of print jobs
+ ls # find job files
+ file dfA001myhost
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+You should make sure that your printer supports this format OR that
+your system administrator has installed a 'print filter' that will
+convert the file to a format appropriate for your printer.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Job sent, strange output</title>
+
+<para>
+Once you have the job printing, you can then start worrying about
+making it print nicely.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The most common problem is extra pages of output: banner pages
+OR blank pages at the end.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you are getting banner pages, check and make sure that the
+printcap option or printer option is configured for no banners.
+If you have a printcap, this is the :sh (suppress header or banner
+page) option. You should have the following in your printer.
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ printer: ... :sh
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+If you have this option and are still getting banner pages, there
+is a strong chance that your printer is generating them for you
+automatically. You should make sure that banner printing is disabled
+for the printer. This usually requires using the printer setup software
+or procedures supplied by the printer manufacturer.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you get an extra page of output, this could be due to problems
+with your job format, or if you are generating PostScript jobs,
+incorrect setting on your printer driver on the MicroSoft client.
+For example, under Win95 there is a option:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ Printers|Printer Name|(Right Click)Properties|Postscript|Advanced|
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+that allows you to choose if a Ctrl-D is appended to all jobs.
+This is a very bad thing to do, as most spooling systems will
+automatically add a ^D to the end of the job if it is detected as
+PostScript. The multiple ^D may cause an additional page of output.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Raw PostScript printed</title>
+
+<para>
+This is a problem that is usually caused by either the print spooling
+system putting information at the start of the print job that makes
+the printer think the job is a text file, or your printer simply
+does not support PostScript. You may need to enable 'Automatic
+Format Detection' on your printer.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Advanced Printing</title>
+
+<para>
+Note that you can do some pretty magic things by using your
+imagination with the "print command" option and some shell scripts.
+Doing print accounting is easy by passing the %U option to a print
+command shell script. You could even make the print command detect
+the type of output and its size and send it to an appropriate
+printer.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Real debugging</title>
+
+<para>
+If the above debug tips don't help, then maybe you need to bring in
+the bug guns, system tracing. See Tracing.txt in this directory.
