I am trying to switch over to the new "style" of printing, but when I
do, I loose the ability to print duplex.
I have two servers. The old one (spike) is setup as a file server, etc.
and the print services date back to the early 2.0 days. It is currently
running 2.2.2 with the original printer setup. The printing
works ok with this server. People can print using features of the printers,
like duplexing, just fine, but each printer setup on each client must be
done by hand. Once we say that the print has a duplexer, the users can
print double sided.
I have setup a new server (print) that will only be doing the print services.
It is setup the "new way" using 2.2.3a:
[global]
workgroup = MtLaurel
netbios name = PRINT
server string = PRINT [Print Server on Chuckie]
encrypt passwords = yes
log level = 0
preferred master = False
local master = No
domain master = False
utmp = Yes
guest account = ftp
printer admin = @it,gaa
show add printer wizard = no
wins server = mtlpdc
ldap admin dn = XXXX
ldap server = YYYY
ldap suffix = ZZZZ
use client driver = yes
[print$]
path = /var/samba/printers
write list = @it,root
create mask = 0774
force create mode = 0770
directory mask = 0775
force directory mode = 0770
guest ok = yes
browsable = yes
printer admin = @it
[printers]
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
I uploaded the drivers from a Win2k system. I uploaded the drivers for
Win2k, WinNT and Win9x.
If I select a duplex capable printer (as "gaa") in the
"Printers" folder,
I can setup "Duplex Installed". From a client I can double click the
printer's icon and install the drivers, etc. When I select the newly
installed printer in the client's "Settings/Printers" folder I can
see
that it has a duplexer installed. However, when I try to print and go
to the "Layout" tab, two sided printing is not available.
Any ideas?
Where are "Device Options" stored on the samba server, anyway? Where
is
the printer to driver map stored? All I see in /var/samba/printers are
the drivers themselves.
I have tried both "use client driver = yes" and "no". I see
no
difference.
Oh, as to the drivers used: The ones I uploaded to the server were recently
downloaded from HP. The Win2k Server CDROM did not have drivers for HP 8100s.
After the "use client driver = yes", the client used had stock Win2k
Pro
installed drivers. I assume the "yes" causes it to use those rather
than
downloading from the server.

The user can select the printer model as 2200dn which automatically selects the duplexer present tickbox. Once selected they can go into the 'document defaults' for the printer and they can see the duplexing option is enabled. However when they go to print they don't get a duplexing option. How do you add people to the domain 'power users' group. Do you have to map users in the unix group file? -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Loo [mailto:jloo@acm.org] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 03:35 To: Gareth Blades Subject: Re: [Samba] Can't print duplex Have you tried to make the user a power user.

Using the latest SAMBA_2_2 cvs code, I am unable to reproduce your problem. I tested using both windows NT 4.0 and 2k clients with the HP 8000 PS driver.> Where are "Device Options" stored on the samba server, anyway? Where is > the printer to driver map stored?

I would delete these printers on the clients and reinstall..... cheers, jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team http://www.samba.org -- http://www.plainjoe.org "Sam's Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours" 2ed.

I am using Samba 2.2.6 on a Solaris 2.8 print server. When I try to print from an XP client to an HP LaserJet 8000 or 8150 printer with the drivers installed locally, everything works fine including "Duplex" printing. When I try to print to a printer with the drivers stored on the Samba server, the "Duplex" feature is not available to the application. The client is able to turn on Duplexing in the "Printers and Faxes" folder and it appears to be installed, but when you try to select Duplex from the "Layout" tab from within an application, two sided printing is not available. Has anyone seen this problem? -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
