samba - Mar 2006 - Migrating from NT4 print server to Samba print server

Hello,

I was hoping someone could help me with migrating printers from a WinNT4 print
server to a Samba server. I have searched the web for days and haven't found
a solution. I am running Slackware 10.1; kernel 2.4.29. I upgraded Samba to
3.0.21c recently and I am using LPR v3.8.28 as my print spooler.

Here is the response from the 'rpc migrate printers' command:

root@roadrunner:/etc>net rpc printer MIGRATE PRINTERS
"HPDeskJet600" \
-S Larry -U administrator
Password: xxxxxxx
migrating printer queue for: [\\LARRY\HP DeskJet 600] / [HPDeskJet600]
cannot open printer \\127.0.0.1\HPDeskJet600 on server \\127.0.0.1: WERR_INVALIE
cannot get printer-info: DOS code 0x0000001a
could not get printer, creating printer.
creating printer: \\LARRY\HP DeskJet 600
could not create printer [\\LARRY\HP DeskJet 600]
root@roadrunner:/etc>
Thanks

Kirk

Hi Kirk,

try this:

- use smbclient to copy all files from
\\file_server\print$\WIN40\0 to
/var/lib/samba/printers/WIN40
- use chmod to change de default permission on the
/var/lib/samba/printers/WIN40 to 777
- use rpcclient to add the device drivers and register
this driver to the printer
- use chown to change the owner of the files on
/var/lib/samba/printers/WIN40/0 to root.root
- use chmod to change the permissions to the default.
