Hi, I just installed 2 Win2K sp4 workstations on an otherwise working Samba 2.2.8a network and 2 of the 3 printers are showing "Access denied". What's up with that? The other computers that are working just fine are Win98, XP and Win2K NOT sp4. Here is part of the global section: printing = bsd load printers = yes disable spoolss = yes printcap name

I've discovered a couple of things while troubleshooting my printer setup problems. 1. print$ must be 0744. I ran a level-3 debug, and was seeing "chmod failed" errors. Upping it to level-10, I saw something that pointed to unix rights of 0744; my dir's were set to 0755 or 0777...neither worked. When I set print$ and it's subdir's to 0744, the chmod errors went away.

I'm running "Samba 2.2.3a-6 for Debian" and I've been largely successful setting it up. I have one curious problem remaining. My wife's Windows laptop (running XP Home), can see the printer on the server (it apparently succeeds in connecting to it and initializing its view of the queue), but it doesn't print. Jobs sent to it just vanish into the ether. I don't see

Good Afternoon, We recently added encrypted smb passwords to our site. I just tried to add a printer to samba and it will not work. I tried to connect to \\sambahost\printer and it will not connect. All the older printers still work. I just wonder if there is an extra step I need to perform now when I add printers? Thanks for your time, Bill -- William M. Fennell Network Administrator

Please forgive me but I am pretty new to Linux. I have Samba set up on a Server and when I go to access it from a windows workstation one, a box pops up with the resourse as \\servername\IPC$ <file://\\servername\IPC$> asking for a password. I have the right domain and my username is the same as my windows password? Why would I be getting these messages? What am I doing wrong?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello world, I've dug through the docs and googled through the net, but I'm still unable to fix my Samba (2.2.3a-6 for Debian) setup so that I can print from my wife's Windows XP laptop. The server is using Cups and I can print from the server and over the net from my (Debian) laptop. The XP box can connect to the server and browse

I'm trying to setup a print share with samba-2.2.4 that 9x and 2k clients should be able to print to. Below is my current setup listing only printer related options. My first concern right now is that I have cups running with the pdfdistiller script to format print jobs into pdf documents. I'm not using a real printer for this. I need samba to display the cups printer called PDF_Printer so

Hi, I successfully setup printing on my FreeBSD box using Samba with apsfilter and lprng. However, I have encountered two issues: 1) Cannot print multiple copies of documents from my windows box (e.g. notepad). Only the first copy is printed and the rest don't get printed. 2) My spool directory is getting filled up and I would like the job removed after the print job is finished I've

hi all and thanks in advance for reading this i have worked with samba for a while, sharing drives on my linux boxes and all went well until now. now, i tried to share a printer. 1 i setup a printer in a box with cups. the printer is working fine in that host printing everything as it is told. 2 i tried to share the printer to: 2.1 one windows wrokstation in the lan

Hi, We have had a server crash and are now unable to print from the connected pc's I have installed samba 2.2.7a and use the sysv printing system The printers are configured using HP hppi >From the unix host I can send a print to the printer I have already checked the spool directory for the printers. and the spool directory that is used by the hppi daemon. They exist. In the user log file

We have been using CUPS to handle printing and have run into some "features" some of which a fresh install of the responsible server will probably fix. However there are some disparities between the documentation and our practical experience for which a clear statement would help others. The docs state when using CUPS the relevent lines of SMB.CONF should look like this: printing=cups

It is possible to tunnel various protocols - NNTP, FTP, HTTP etc thru SSH. Is it possible to do the same using SMB? TIA, Alex. -------------------- Mr Alex Meaden Computer Science Undergraduate University of Kent at Canterbury aejm1@meaden.dyndns.org http://meaden.dyndns.org/

Hi, i have a small problem, i use CUPS - Raw printing, which works perfectly .. i thought.. When i , as Administrator ( or domain Admins ) print and want 5 copies there will be 5 copies.

Hello, It seems that I am in printer hell once again :) I am trying to sort out some printer problems with our UNIX server. The basic problem is this. I have a test server to K.I.S.S the problem. On this server I have defined two queues which are csqlis and HPfinley. csqlis seems to work correctly and displays ready. HPfinley always reads Paused on win2k and NT40 clients. The output of the lpq

I have been having a printing problem recently on a setup that has worked for quite some time. Configs below. The symtoms are slightly different on a W2K and a WinME workstation, but the result is the same; no printed output. However, when I print from the local Unix server or from any other Unix server in the network the output is as expected. The W2K machine reports 'Access denied,

Hello All.

Is there a way foe me to get the print job name to be something other than "remote downlevel job"? All my jobs are now printing flawless except for this. I would like to be able to get a file name or program at least. Thanks Tony McGrew www.multicam.com

hi, I have a pretty basic samba server installed on my Debian system. I use samba 2.2.3a-7 for Debian. Everything seems to work just fine except printing; Everyone is able to print (w2k clients) even though "guest ok = no" is set. The print job is done by the guest user (nobody). How is this possible when guest ok is set to no? TIA Ronald smb.conf: [global] netbios name = DARKCLOUD

I am using Slackware 10.2 (kernel 2.4.29) and Samba 3.0.21c for my print server. The client workstations are WinNT4. I have two printers on the linux server..an HP DeskJet 600 and an Okidata B4250. I can install and print to the HP from any of the workstations. I can install the Okidata just fine, but when I try to print from Word, Excell, or any application Dr. Watson comes to visit. I get
