Hi there, I'm newbie in Samba, so I beg for your excuse if my questions are stupid. Is it possible to use Samba as a "paid-for-print" server? If U know something about another free "paid-for-print" software, please let me know. 10x in advance, -- Julian

...cross the network to the printer on tcp/9100. The new print setup, which is significantly slower, is that the user prints via a server based HPLJ4m PostScript driver, to a spoolss samba printer port. Samba passes the job to lprng, which passes a copy of the PostScript file to my accounting system (printbill), and then sends the job to lprng, which converts the PostScript to PCL via the ifhp pcl_gs model, before finally sending it across the network to the printer on tcp/9100. The server in a dual Athlon 2000+ with 1Gb RAM running Debian. I know there will be a slight processing overhead due to the P...

Hi all, I am about to install a Samba server at a local school, and i need some advice and/or experience from others who have worked on a installation of that type/size. My plan is to roll-out a Samba server (of course), with LDAP back-end, and a number of printer queue's via CUPS. There will be aprox. 1000 user accounts, mostly students. The school has asked for a solution that would

...uota (say, $3.00), then charge them 10c per page they print from a Windows client to a printer shared from a Linux box running Samba. If they're out of quota, it doesn't print (and doesn't tie up the print queue for everybody else). I can't find any workable solutions. I tried PrintBill, but it's rather buggy, it tends to jam up queues randomly, and requires a Postscript driver and as a result there's all sorts of ways to bypass it. I'm more than happy with a commercial solution. I just want something that works :-) Thanks, Ryan -- Qbalt Project (http://www.q...

I have a redhat EL5 samba server hosting a collection of printers and joined to a domain. I can connect to this server and print happily from a 32-bit XP box on the domain, but a 64-bit windows server 2008 box cannot connect, and returns the error 0x000006d1. I get the same results with samba 3.0.33 (came with redhat), 3.5.3 (the latest from sernet), and 3.3.12 (this message from the
