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.

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.
