| apsfilter bug/suggetion |
Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by brian wasserman (brian.wasserman@onebox.com) on Saturday, February 24, 2001 at 04:01:21 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- message: i was trying to set up apsfilter because i heard it was easy to configure a remote win2000 printer. well, it was a ballbreaker! the test page via apsfilter worked fine... lpr appeared to work, lpq showed it in the queue for a long time then it went away as if it printed. no errors or anything. i dug into the files generated and found the problem to be in the /var/spool/lpd/print1.../smbclient.conf file. i noticed that the delimeter was a !. well, my win2000 account which i was using for the print jobs has a ! in the password. once i used a password without a ! it worked like a champ. so, maybe the apsfilter install program can warn users if they type in a password with a ! in it? thanks! brian --------------------------------------------------------------------------- REMOTE_HOST: cj55612-a.alex1.va.home.com REMOTE_ADDR: ::ffff:24.6.104.55 HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)
