[vox-tech] According to linuxprinting.org

[Richard S. Crawford]

Are you guys getting tired of me and my constant questions yet?

Today I purchased an Epson Stylus Photo 820 printer.  I purchased this=20
printer for two reasons: first, I knew that it would work in our setup with=
=20
two win98 machines and a win2k machine; and second, because according to=20
http://www.linuxprinting.org, the Linux driver for this particular printer=
=20
works "perfectly".

I have the printer now hooked up to one of our Windows 98 computers.  It=20
works perfectly when I'm running Windows 2000 on this computer, and it=20
works perfectly when my wife prints to it from her Windows 98=20
computer.  But when I try to print from RH7.2 on my computer, the following=
=20
happens: one sheet feeds all the way through, and another sheet feeds=20
halfway through and then stops.

I used printtool to select Windows printer and a Samba connection.  I went=
=20
ahead and selected "Raw print queue" on the theory that the data would end=
=20
up being filtered twice on its way to the printer if it also went through=20
the driver on the windows 98 computer (though I also tried it with several=
=20
different drivers selected).

In the print monitor window on the windows 98 computer which hosts the=20
printer, nothing shows up for the spool.  All of this leads me to believe=20
that there might be something screwy in my samba configuration, but who can=
=20
say for sure?  Any thoughts or suggestions before I start screwing around=20
with my samba configuration files?

Oh, and Peter...  Sorry to take so long to get back to you on this, but=20
yes, I do play D&D.  Or I did.  I fell out for a long time to indulge in=20
LARP, and then I got involved in Call of Cthulhu.  Now a buddy of mine and=
=20
I are creating an RPG of our own, so I've been play-testing that.  Some=20
friends of mine are trying to set up a "gaming association" in=20
Davis.  Would you be interested in hooking up with them?
