Samba Printing Problem

[ng_7]

Dear Expert,

I have a Seikosha seiko Precision BP9000 attached to win 2000 pc. We want to set up this printer so that we can print from HP Unix 11i. Please refer to the attached Steps. I have completed the step, but printing still fail eventhough the printer already enable and accept printing. The error that I getting in root is as below :

â From root@tamcoapp.tamco.com.my Thu Aug 23 17:45:09 mal 2007
Received: (from lp@localhost)

I have successfully install on Win 98 and Win XP using the same printer and same steps.
Please advise me why install to win 2000 have this problem.

Hi Ng,

The path which contains the error listings for printers:
/usr/include/sys/errno.h

Errno 127 does not exist in this file.

The lpspooler is just passing back a posix shell code.

127 means "not found"

There is most likely a problem with a missing file, missing directory, or an
incorrect filename.

Turn on lpspooler verbose mode with "lpshut" then "lpsched -v" and try the
print request to see what is logged.

To return the lpspooler to normal, "lpshut" then "lpsched"

The log file is /var/spool/lp/log.

Details of the problem may be found in the log file.
