General :: Print To Samba Printer Using Ghostscript?
Feb 15, 2010
I'm trying to get GS to print to network Windows printer, but somehow fail to do so . I managed to print through CUPS to that printer but if I use GS with -sDEVICE=cups nothing happens, nothing is printed, CUPS logs remain unchanged... I also found command using smbclient (gs ... | smbclient //machine/printer -U user ... -c 'printmode graphics;print-') but that one fails with "session setup failed: NT_STATUS_REQUEST_NOT_ACCEPTED" Here is why I need it, so maybe you know better way: We need to print thousands of PDF files in one print job (to prevent anybody else to send something else in while we are printing this). I was trying to develop small C program using GS API to achieve this but somehow I fail on something as trivial as print something on shared network printer.

I am having FC11 with an HP prineter attached my firewall is disabled I trying to print from my laptops after I have setup samba and shared the printer , It was working fine when I was installing FC4 and FC5 I am not sure what is missing when I tried to print from the XP box I got "Test pge failed to print" error what I have really noticed in the xp and vista box is that when I go to the printer settings inside control panel , pressing the ports tab and checking to what port I am printing I see that the port "\samba-serverprinter" is not created there this is the log

I'm giving up in ever hoping that I'll get printing working with windows 7 with the strange comments I've found on the net. Basically I have a samsung ML2240 printer shared on the network, everything can print to it fine except for my windows 7 laptop. It's shared via Samba.

Once you have extracted the driver files, copy the 32-bit drivers to the /usr/share/cups/drivers directory and the 64-bit drivers to the /usr/share/cups/drivers/x64 directory exactly as named below:
[Windows 2000 and higher]
ps5ui.dll
pscript.hlp
pscript.ntf
pscript5.dll
However after checking this, I dont have the files named within int he correct folder on my windows system :
%WINDIR%SYSTEM32SPOOLDRIVERSX643 folder for 64-bit drivers.I've tried installing the printer via the windows installer, however this adds the driver then tells me its not working and fails to print. I really dont know where to turn with this one. I've tried installing the samsung supplied drivers from the website. However they still fail to connect.

I'm running slack64-current.I setup samba to share a printer on my home network. I can print to the printer locally.The printer is visible on the network. However when I try to print anything on the printer via samba (or cups for that matter) from either the local machine or the remote machine, everything acts as if the job went through, but nothing happens. I'm sure I've seen this before on another slack machine that is currently unavailable, but I can't remember what the answer was, and I'm trying to be more precise with this setup so that I actually learn something.

After upgrade to ghostscript 9.02 from current all print jobs fail with: 'There is a missing print filter for printer HP_F2480'
The printer is an All-inone deskjet F2480 and the cups printer queue has been
setup with the hplip tools. Before the upgrade it was 'working' with quite a few bugs...eg image not printed correct, multipage printing garbage. (page for page printing was the workaround)
Do I need to remove the printer and define it again?

My wife has a canon MP470 printer and running ubuntu 10.10. I am able to print black and white, but unable to print photos. I got it to work using another driver, but not the 'correct' one for this printer. I have searched a bit and don't see anything about ubuntu 10.10, just older versions. Or should I just network her to my printer....?

I've tried to copy different tutorials so that I can put on paper everything prints except the important things(commands & script examples. Is this some kind of copy-right? If not issue with copy-right is it possible to have complete copy. Also I haven't seen in PDF form, I just need to copy so I can reference without having to be on computer.

I have an old desktop that I'm trying to set up as a home backup/print server. Backup was trivial, but am having issues getting the printing to work. The printer is connected to the server running Ubuntu Server 9.10 (no gui). If I access the printer via http://hostname:631/printers/, I am able to print a test page, so I know the printer is working; however, I am having no luck from Windows. Windows can see the printer when browsed via hostname, but I am unable to connect. Windows says "Windows cannot connect to the printer" without indicating why.
From /etc/samba/smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
dns proxy = no
security = user

I can't print pdf files from the Ubuntu PDF viweer on my printer - I get a message that 'pdftorasterfailed'. My workaround is to print to file then print the postscript file. Annoying but it works. I did some searching and this is a known bug in cups for Ubuntu 10.04. The first thing I tried was a system update, that did update cups but it still fails. I found this link:

and have the patch files, but how do I apply them?

I have a laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 and my basement computer running Windows 7. I want to be able to access files on on both computers from either. I also want to be able to print from my laptop to the printer attached to the basement computer. I finally got printing working. Then I tackled the filesharing. I finally get filesharing working and now, I can't get printing working again, even though I've gone back to the version of smb.conf that I had when I was able to print. So here is what I've got.
<->testparm
Testparm results.txt
<-> Printer State
When I look at my printer properties in Ubuntu I see the status: Idle - Unable to connect to CIFS host after (tried 3 times) Cups Error Log When I look at the Printer Error Log, I see: (partial) Printer log extract.txt I can ping the IP address of the windows box 192.168.0.5, but when I try to ping the name owner-pc it fails. This would lead me to beleive that the there is a name resolution problem.

I got a hp 3050J610 wireless all in one and hooked it up to my wireless network
and it works fine from windows vista from my hp notebook. I also run puppy 5.1
off a pen drive which runs fine on the laptop. Puppy sees my network fine and
goes on the internet from my satalite modem over the wireless network no problems.
I installed the wireless printer to puppy with the cups wizard without any errors or problems. Cups found the printer and correct ip address no problem. I used the 610c driver from the cups menu which I assume is the right one. I can't seem to find another one. It lists the printer and lists the right ip address. when I try to print it shows it is printing the print job but nothing happens at the printer. I look in the print manager and it shows the print job was done. I can ping the ip address and get a responce.

Our one remaining problem seems to be printing. She has an HP OfficeJet 6500 USB printer. We have the computer conntected. Strangely, when I boot from the CD the printer shows up as installed even though I did nothing to install it. After having submitted a print job it shows the printer status as "idle" and the print queue is empty. I tried deleting that printer and re-installing. The installation went as one would expect. However the results are the same. I'm beginning to think that somehow the problem is related to the fact that we are operating from the live CD. getting this thing to print from the live CD.

i have custom programs written in Basis pro5. Standard output to a pdf virtual printer works fine. Using pdftk to overlay on to a form is hit or miss.... There are products out there like Unform that are just too expensive for my company. i have purchased another product from a company that prints the forms to the laser perfectly but i am incapable of capturing them and saving them as pdf's for archiving/emailing/faxing and i don't much care for this company.

I have a Centos 5.3 server with Samba file shares and a shared Samba printer. I am not running a domain.
I recently changed my windows desktop pc from an XP machine to a vista 64 machine... It has a different user name. Everything went pretty smoothly - and the and the vista machine found the smba printer - and even downloaded the driver from the samba server. he printer works OK - and the file shares are fine.
The only thing which is quite odd - is that the Printer Properties dialogue takes more than 30 seconds to come up - and every action you attempt with the dialogue takes a similar amount of time.
I will include below the essence of my smb.conf:

We are running RedHat Enterprise Server 5. We have a Windows 7 Pro with an HP Printer attached to it, and shared. I can see the printer in RedHat, but everytime I send a print job, it just does nothing but sit there. I've even tried to attach to it via smbclient, and I get the following response: tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

In my samba configuration, I have a strange share.
Share name: MyPrinter
Shared folder: /var/spool/samba
comment = lp
read only = No
print ok = Yes
The spool directory /var/spool/samba has been shared as a printer. What will be the harm caused by it? (I don't know who shared such). And I also wanted to know the security issue due to it..

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and i've installed my HP Printer and SAMBA successfully. Windows XP clients on my network can successfully print through this shared printer. My problem is, is there a way to put a security password or some sort of authentication before they can print? its because this printer is only dedicated to one department only.

Similarly to this question:Convert a PDF to greyscale on the command line in FLOSS?I have a PDF-document and want to convert it to pure black and white. So I want to discard halftones. To convert to grayscale with ghostscript I can use this command:
gs
-sOutputFile=output.PDF
-sDEVICE=pdfwrite

im using cups filter 'texttops', to generate postscript file, then I;m using ghostscript to create pdf file. The problem is, that file generated from texttops don't contain landscape orientation instructions. How can I force ghostscript to do that. Here is the command Im using:
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=<outfile> -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -f <infile>
I've found on the internet these instructions, but they don't work for me:
gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=myfile.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dAutoRotatePages=/None -c "<< /PageSize [612 792] /Orientation 3 >> setpagedevice" 90 rotate 0 -612 translate -f myfile.eps

I know Ghostscript can convert PDFs to JPGs, and in the case of a multi-page PDF, can rip each page to an individual JPG. But is it possible to have it rip them to one JPG, so that the pages are pasted below each other, e.g. the top half of the JPG is page 1, the bottom half is page 2? Or do I have to use another program (and can ImageMagick do this?) to combine the JPG pages into one image?

I'm using an up-to-date installation of Squeeze with the default Gnome desktop and am trying to print. My knowledge of configuring printers is very limited if it even exists. Since a friend of mine is able to print from her Ubuntu computer, my plan is to copy her. Here's how she does it. She goes under System->Administration->Printing on the desktop. Then a window pops up titled "Printing" that lists various printers that are supposed to exist. It's possible to add one by selecting Add->Printer. It asks for the root password and then a new window pops up titled "New Printer" which has a subwindow called "Select Device" In my case, the "Select Device" window has the following options to choose from:
- AppSocket/HP JetDirect
- Internet Printing Protocol (ipp)
- LPD/LPR Host or Printer
In her case, she has an extra option called "Windows Printer via Samba". This is the option that she uses. The other options don't seem to work for her. I'm assuming that I just need to install some package in order to make this option magically pop up for me. Does anyone know what package this may be? I currently have the packages smbclient, samba-common and samba-common-bin installed..........

I've spent hours trying to scan + shrink a multipage PDF documentlosing readability. This is the first time I've ever needed to do this! (I had to scan each page as ".jpg" in order to email and open on another computer, so I could not scan to PDF directly, which I think is why each page was so large; lower DPIs made the text too blurry.)I found this great tip on UbuntuGeek...but anyone can do this if GhostScript is installed:

I cannot print pdf files. I click print in evince everything seems ok but nothing comes out on the printer. I receive no error. I have a HP printer (LasterJet 3005n) attached over a network. I am running 9.10 on a Dell Optiplex. I did not have this problem in 9.04. I had this problem immediately after I did a fresh install of 9.10. I can print open office documents without any problem, just not pdfs. I have the same problem with my serval laptop (also running 9.10).
