Hi, I realy hope you guys can help me. I am having endless problems with
setting up printers in Linux. The printing is basically from Linux to a
printer hosted on a Windows machine. No problem! Using a filter that uses
smbclient the Linux box prints fine to the windows based printer that it
gets pointed to in the printcap.local and the filter. I start picking up
problems though when I have more than 2 printers added in the printcap.local
file. I am including a copy of the printcap in question,

okidatam|dotmatrix on Nt_Server:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/okidatam:\
	:if=/var/spool/lpd/okidatam/okidatam-filter:\
	:lp=/dev/null:\
	:mx#0:\
	:sh:\

hplj4l| Hp laserjet on Jackie's workstation:\
	sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4l:\
	:if=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4l/hplj4l-filter:\
	:lp=/dev/null:\
	:mx#0:\
	:sh:\



hplj4la| Hp laserjet on Tracey's workstation:\
	sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4l:\
	:if=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4la/hplj4la-filter:\
	:lp=/dev/null:\
	:mx#0:\
	:sh:\

etc....



with the first two entries all is fine. As soon as I have added the 3rd
entry things start going wrong. When I try and print to hplj4la I get an
error stating that the printer does not exist on the server and that the
spool directory "hplj4la" can not be found, but when I create a new printcap
file with just the hplj4la entry everything works fine!? What am I doing
wrong? Please help!!
