Re: Network Printing - Samba to Winbox

Got my printer (hp psc 1310 usb) on a networked XP box, shared and
everything no problem.

Decided to set up printing from Suse box via Samba.

After much struggling I eventually figured out the connection / drivers
and got Samba to log on to the win box, access the printer and send a test
page. The test page appears in the print queue on the win box but will not
print.

I have seen something to do with this before but I cannot remember why the
actual printing gets stalled or where I found the fix, it was not an issue
at the time so I was not paying attention.

Was it something to do with the windows printer not recognising the linux
print file configuration?

Little help please?

I have a USB HP PSC printer on a winbox, print size slowly
increased to 2 mg or something never printing.

I had to disable bi-directional on the winbox printer's port.

Works fine now.
