one printer ok, other one no output
Running a RH9 server with samba shares. All the networking seems to be fine. My test XP workstations access the shares fine and can see and connect to the shared printers on the linux box. The default printer (for testing) is an epson fx880 which works fine locally and from the xp workstations. My problem is, I have added a second printer, a usb connected epson sp820. It prints fine from the linux box, but the xp machines can't print to it. They ACT like they're printing, but no print job ever appears, and nothing ever prints. However, no errors are displayed. I installed a third printer on the same usb connection, an epson sp7600. It test prints fine from the linux computer, but again, no print job from the xp machines.
My printers are setup in samba.conf as follows:
[SP7600];tests ok, won't print from windows, no errors returned
printer = sp7600
comment = Epson SP 7600
path = /var/spool/samba
guest ok = yes
print ok = yes
use client driver = yes
[SP820];tests ok, won't print from windows, no errors returned
printer = sp820
comment = Epson SP 820
path = /var/spool/samba
guest ok = yes
print ok = yes
use client driver = yes
[FX880];test prints ok, prints fine from windows
printer = ep880
comment = Epson FX 880
path = /var/spool/samba
guest ok = yes
print ok = yes
use client driver = yes
This is a section of my printers.conf
