I had a lan using redhat 5.2 on server using samba file and printing services to my win 95 nodes.<br />
The printer was epson 9 pin printer. <br />
Now I upgraded my Linux to RedHat 6.0.<br />
From the printer tool under X the printer prints the test pages perfectly,<br />
but when print job is given from the nodes the job simply vanishes in thin air. The spool directory remains empty, there is no printing from the nodes and windows also does not show any error message, nor does it show any thing pending in the que.<br />
<br />
What is happening to my print jobs and what is the solution<br />
