I have an Epson Stylus Color 880, connected to our network via an external ethernet printserver. I used to run lprng on the samba server (which is a domain controller), and the Windows clients had one minor problem accessing this printer via Samba (2.2.3a, then): Every time a client wanted to print, the Epson status monitor on the client would complain about communication problems with the

I am trying to allow printing from my linux box to my win98 box, to which my epson stylus printer is attached. It's just not happening...something tells me I'm flirting with a world of pain. I *can* print a file by going: smbclient //rory/EPSON translate print /etc/group but I cannot print from applications, nor can i use smbprint. I tried going: cat /etc/passwd | sh -x smbprint

I'm hoping my desperate post yesterday just didn't make it across. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or just want to say "Hi"? Using... CUPS 1.1.13 Samba 2.2.1a Gimp-Print 4.2.0 on a RH 7.2 computer with a USB Epson Stylus Photo 420 printer hooked up to a Windows98 computer... I am unable to print properly... The output seems to be dying on its way to the Windows 98

I'm running samba 2.2.3a-6 under Debian (testing) and I am having a heck of a time getting Windows 2000 to print to my printer. I keep getting that "Access denied, unable to connect" message. At one point I had it so you could print test pages, but as soon as you tried to print from an application, it would break. However, that doesn't even work anymore. I've been reading

I'm thinking for replacing my current printer that I use with my POS systems (http://possolutions.multiply.com/). What do you think is the best brand out there? Thanks.

Hi How can I force Samba 2.2.0 to act as LanMan Printer Server, because otherwise my Epson Stylus Photo 870 won't work. With the normal 2.2.0 the printer prints only s**t. thx Gernot

Hello: I have a printer set-up and working correctly on my Linux machine running Fedora Core 1. It is set up as a local printer called printer. I set it up thru the graphical printer configuration utility. I am trying to set it up as a network printer from my Windows XP machine using Samba. Here are the lines in my smb.conf file: [global] encrypt passwords = yes socket options

Since my old Epson C86 has finally managed to clog up the print heads, I'm in the market for a replacement. I'd like to know what the people on this list are using for printers that are currently available, since we are using versions of CUPS and foomatic that are frozen, and any other issues or "gotchas" that you are aware of. For the replacement printer, I'm considering a

For some reason, I cannot get samba (or Win98, depending on how you look at it...) to allow a win98 client to print. I search the list archives, but I didn't find anything similar. So here goes. Symptoms: - Win98 client can access fileshares OK. The printers show up OK as well in network neighbourhood. - On Linux, printing (lprng) works OK. - In win98, e.g. dir >

Hi, This is my first shot at getting Samba to work for us. I have successfully setup SMB (Samba) on my Linux (RedHat6.0) in a network. I can see the linux machine from the NT4 workstation's Network Neighbourhood, and provided I give a correct password I can browse the linux / (root) tree, as I have configured it in /etc/smb.conf and all is well. But I have also setup a SMB printer on the

I can't seem to find an answer or a workaround, and I've received stoney silence on this one. There aren't any answers in the archives (well, I didn't find any in the hours on several days I spent, anyhow). I'm convinced that I can't be the *only* one with this problem, nor am I convinced that there is absolutely no one who can help. Please feel free to jump in with

Hi. I mostly use my system as a super-user and so I can mostly do everything without worrying too much about permissions. Not too long ago I created a "general" user account which is automatically logged in after a few seconds for others to have (limited) access to the system. Mostly everything works (ie. CD/DVD writing, sound, floppy access, etc.) But when it comes to printing, only

Hello, I couldn't find an answer to this small question in google/man/faq: why do I use lose my printer if I use registry backend? config backend = file (full config file below): ...

Epson doesn't seem to have one; I see an rpm at openprinting.org, but that .rpm d/l I started around 11:30 my time, and the d/l slowed, and slowed, and it's been at 21% and "1 hr 17 min to go" for it seems like close to half an hour. I d/l a tar.bz2, but I'm not sure I want to build and install it - my use of this printer is temporary, and I want to be able to uninstall it

Hello fellows, I have this kind of configuration: one PC acting as samba server (PDC) with RH7.3 and three workstations with win2k. Today I've installed an Epson Stylus C62 printer on one of the Win2k machines (shared by the name of epsonlpt, and now I want to know if it is possible to use this printer from the RH Server? If yes, can you tell me how? Thanks in advance, Rapazito PT A

Hi. I've been running CentOS 4 since it was released (since 4.0). I did a fresh install and have kept it updated using up2date and yum so at present my system is running CentOS 4.2.
