Hi, this may sound real silly to you, but I'm working on the Samba Debugging for about a week now, and I can't find the problem. May somebody knows what causes the following: I installed a printer server. I print out of WinWord, Pegasusmail ..., but I can't send a test page, and I can't print out of Netscape for example. Win95 tells me the printer had a failure. Samba debugging tells me it gets the file from an authenticated user. Stores it in /var/spool/public and sends the file to the LPR, with the command "lpr -r -Pprinter file". But the file is not forwarded to lpr. It doesn't print it and it doesn't delete it in the /var/spool/public directory. It samba 1.9.18p4 on linux slakware kernel 2.0.33. lpr is LPRNG, but had no problems until now with samba and LPRNG. Why is this possible ??? :-((( I don't understand it. Would be very kind of you to give me some info on how to get ridd of this.

i'm running samba 1.9.18_p8 on solaris 2.5.1 and in Windd 3.5 my samba printers keep on dissepearing from the list, even after I do the following trick taht I've read somewhere: 1) connect to a samba printer 2) delete it again 3) create printer and connect to samba port It's a nice theory, but it doesn't work that well.

If you uncheck the "work offline" (when you right click on the printer) does it come back sometimes? If so I think what you are seeing is the irritatingly short timeout that Win95 puts on its printers. Are the PC's using WINS? Is the samba host in the WINS table as a static entry? If the answer is Yes & No then you had the same problem we had. The problem is that Win95 looks up the name of the server *every* time it does a status update of the printer window. It first goes to the WINS database, fails to find it, then goes to dns, then gets the status from the samba server. It allocates only a few seconds to the whole procedure. So if your WINS or DNS servers are being slow, it leaves almost no time for the Samba to respond - Win95 times out and marks the printer as "offline". Your best solution is to put the name of the samba server as a static entry in the WINS database. It is irksome to have to do it - but it does work.

Damian, my problem has to do with WinNt 3.5.1, where the printers really dissapear from the list of printers. They are not grayed out or something like that. My samba is also WINS server.>Is your problem that the printers on the Win95 clients keep getting >greyed out and going to "work offline"?

Hello Samba lovers, I want to use samba to share my HP-deskjet which is attached to my Linux-PC. I do see the printers on my other Windows-PC, but when i want to install him it does need an password which i don't know. What am i doing wrong? Thanks! Johan Barelds

Hi,
I'm a completely new Samba user. I just installed with the SUSE 7.0
distribution the Samba package on my PC as Samba server and have one
Windows 98 client. I created the smb.conf-file with SWAT.
The access to the directories on the window client works fine, but I
don't get the access of to the printer attached to the Linux PC to work
from
the Windows client. Unfortunately everything is in German, but I did
my best to translate to English.
I see the printers in the Network Neighborhood on the Client.
When I want to install the Samba-printer on the client, I come to the
point when I am asked to give a name to the printer. After pressing the
Next button,
I get the following message (translated form German):
The printer could not be initialized. Stop all programs, restart
windows and repeat everything again. Contact your system administrator
if the error occurred again.
Thats all. Restarting doesn't held at all. There is no message in the
log-files on the Samba-Server.
I tried lots of changes in the smb.conf file without getting any
difference. Is there an error in my Samba, Linux or Windows
configuration?
I have no idea anymore what the problem is.
I appended the smb.conf and printcap file.
I would be nice if someone could help me
Thank you very much,
Peer

I just recently added my printer to samba. I can print from my linux server just fine via lpd. When I point my windows98 box to the share, and print something, it prints one page with a %1 in the left corner, then it prints my file correctly, then it spits out a blank page. How do I rid myself of the %1 and possibly the trailing blank page after my documents? I used apsfilter to setup the printer in linux, with a raw printcap entry that doesn't go through a filter of any sort. The raw entry is what I used in the samba share. I tried playing with the "postscript = yes" option for the smb.conf file but that didn't do anything. Any help is appreciated.

hello, I'd like to ask for your kind help.... I got a samba 2.2.7 server and i'm trying to share a Lexmark OPTRA T610 network printer from the samba to my users. The problem is, if i print from the linux Box, it prints right, if i send the test page from webmin under the Hardware - printers section, it does OK. But when I installed the printer in a windows box and try to print it doesn't give out any error but still doesn't print.... anyone have any idea about it? i even installed samba again and used a fresh smb.conf file and nothing. Please, this is urgent, any help? Thanks in advance _____ Carlos Mario Ospina Anzola Administrador del Sistema CERTICAMARA S.A.
