samba - Feb 2001 - Question regarding printing to an NT print server

I've been looking through the newsgroups but can't find this exact
problem.  If
it has previously been answered, please direct me to the post.

Here's the problem:

I'm running Red Hat Linux 6.2 (kernel 2.4.1) on a P II.
I'm running the following samba RPMs:
samba-client-2.0.7-4
samba-common-2.0.7-4
samba-2.0.7-4

I need to print to an NT print server.

My Printcap looks like this:
lp:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:\
        :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
        :lp=/dev/null:\
        :if=/usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters//smbprint:

/var/spool/lpd/lp/.config looks like this:

share='\\PrintHost\Information Technologies HP4000N'
hostipuser='NTDomain\username'
password='XXXX'
workgroup=''

When I try to print this is the message in /var/log/messages:

Feb 20 13:31:55 tux lpd[3569]: restarting lp
Feb 20 13:32:05 tux last message repeated 3 times
Feb 20 13:32:08 tux lpd[3569]: lp: job could not be printed (cfA013tux)
Feb 20 13:32:08 tux lpd[3569]: mail sent to user root about job testpage.ps on
printer lp (FATALERR)

The e-mail is basically useless - just says:

Your printer job (testpage.ps)                                                  
could not be printed

I am successfully mounting my NT shares on my Linux box so something is 
working. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

TIA,
nicci

You can hack the printfilter script to put a copy somewhere
(/tmp/printfile) of what it wants to send to the printer.

Is that really the name the printer is shared as?

Take the copy and try to send it manually using smbclient. Or just try to
connect with smbclient. I'm guessing on some name/password mismatch.

Hello Samba Gurus,

I am trying to access Samba from WinNT 4.
Samba is installed under RH7.

I have configured Samba, and I can access it from the same machine
by smbclient, but it gives me
"System 5 error has occurred
  Access Denied"
When I run
net view \\my.IP.Address.here

I have commented out all lines for "host allow"
and I can ping from and to both Linux and NT to
each other.


Could someone help me if you know the problem?



Thanks in advance!!
