From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: When the netbios username of the client (Win2000) holds a space it can not print correctly when using a samba print server. I am using the print command "lpr -U%U@%M -r -P%p %s" and the space in the netbios username cause an error in th elpr command. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Setup a Windows client with a username that holds a space, "Christian Lepine" for example. 2.Setup a samba print server and use the command lpr -U%U@%M -r -P%p %s 3.Try to print Actual Results: Will not print the job or print it in the default printer. Expected Results: Print the job in the right printer without an error Additional info:
I think you just need to add the quotes around the %U bit correctly - it's not really a bug when you are specifying the config paramater yourself... In Samba 3.0 the defaults have been adjusted for similar effect (thanks to the debian folk for their patches)
