>Comment:

I am having problems printing via Samba using lpr to a HP4050PS Postscript printer.
I have followed all instructions, run the setup script and have printed a test page
satisfactorily. Whenever I print using the lpr command, however, I get a log file containing the
following message (under var/spool/lpd/lp):

apsfilter warning: unknown option 'dbserver.pfsuk.co.uk'
gawk: cmd. line:1: (FILENAME=- FNR=138) fatal: print to "standard output" failed (Broken pipe)

Unexpected interpreter error -16.
Error object:

dbserver.pfuk.co.uk is the server name. I have seen reference to this problem occuring elsewhere
in the archive mailings when using samba but not a solution to my specific problem.

I have seen the comment in apsfilterrc which indicates that if problems occur people should use the

version of gawk under /opt. I am wondering whether I should try this.

I have changed all the security settings for the lpd files to those recommended, i.e. gid set to
lp and believe there are no problems with lpd itself.

I have installed the acrobat reader, acroread, under /usr/local/Acrobat4/bin, the default.

I am using RedHat 7.2 with Samba 2.2.1a-4, lpr 0.50-4, i.e. all the latest versions.
I am using the apsfilter 7.2.1. Ghostscript was installed with the Linux installation.

My /etc/printcap file is as follows:
lp|PS;r=300x300;q=medium;c=full;p=a4;m=auto:\
    :lp=/dev/null:\
    :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
    :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\
    :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
    :mx#0:\
    :sh:

I would appreciate any help you may be able to give. It seems like gawk may be a potential proble
m? If you believe this to be so then please could you tell me which version to install along with
any necessary options?

Thanks!

Jon Hargreaves.
