printing problems

[Magnus Larsson <magnus_larsson@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Im very new to linuxprinting and I have got some problems that I can't work 
out. Im trying to print from my Slackware 8.1 machine to our windows network 
using samba. When sending a file with smbclient to the windows printserver 
the result looks pretty messy but at least it prints. Also, after going 
through the apsfilter setup the testpage prints and looks very pretty. So, I 
can connect and print to the the networked printer. However when i try to 
print for example a webpage or textfile to the 'Xerox' printer (the name is 
'Xerox' in /etc/printcap) nothing happens. Running the lpq command shows:
Printer: Xerox@wmli004439 'PS;r=600x600;q=high;c=full;p=a4;m=auto'
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
 Server: no server active
 Status: job 'wmmglan@wmli004439+489' error 'aborting operations' at 
11:58:45.693

error  wmmglan@wmli004439+489       A   489 ERROR: aborting operations

I just wonder if you guys have any idea why the testpage prints and not any 
other page, it doesn't even seem to get to the printer. I know that the login 
information is correct otherwise the testpage wouldn't have printed.

Regards

Magnus
