Camillo,

I think you should modify the /opt/tarantella/etc/data/printertypes.txt; in this file you should tell SSGD the type of the printer used on the client side.

As an example, on the client print a test page __outside__ SSGD (ie, from Windows). On the printout read the "Driver:" field; this should give something like

Driver: UNIDRV.DLL

Next, have a look at the type of workstation you're using (Windows2000, NT, XP...) and search the printer's manual page concerning the type of language the printer supports (eg, PCL, Postscript...).

Last, amend the printertypes.txt file and add, under the [<operating_system>] section the name of your driver into the line of the expected printout. As an example, if you were using a printer on a Windows2000 workstation whose driver is UNIDRV.DLL and the expected supported "language" is PCL, add the following under then [Windows2000] section:

PCL=unidrv.dll;....

where "..." means to insert the "unidrv.dll" text before the other ones listed on the same line.

Again, DON'T insert the "PCL=unidrv.dll" line on a line ALONE but add unidrv.dll to the list of the drivers which appear on the PCL= line.

Best,

Rob
