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.

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 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.

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 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.
