Hello all.
I have a question about setting up samba to serve windows printing.
I have been trying to research this but keep coming up with conflicting
howto's. Can someone give me directions to an up-to-date print howto? It
would be greatly appreciated as I am stuck on this.
Cheers,
Tony

Hi, I am using Samba with LPRng. I have in my configuration print command = /usr/local/lprng/current/bin/lpr -P%p %s -R%M The permissions for lpr are -rwsr-xr-x. I am using samba as PDC. With this setup, when I login as a root in the domain, I can print properly. When I login as a normal user in the domain from an NT machine, I do not get any prints. The smbprn print spool file gets created in /servers/samba/printers folder (which is writable as required by samba printing docs). When I looked into the samba log for a normal user, I do not see a call made to lpr (which I usually see when it is done from a root accnt). What I can conclude with this is that if there is any problem then it is to do with 'lpr' permissions. But, as mentioned earlier these permissions are enough for printing (a normal user can print from a unix machine directly).. Can anybody help me with this ? thanks in advance rgds Amit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Amit Deshmukh Graduate Student (EECS) University of Toledo.

We have printers sitting off of a W2K Native AD F&P Server. Is it possible to print to the printer with a Linux client using Samba? If so, how is this accomplished? J
I figured this one out. On the W2K AD F&P Server, we installed the File and Print drivers for Unix, through Windows Setup. Then, throught the printconf, (or manually through /etc/printcap) I have (all this without the parentheses) (Windows Alias for printer):\ :ml#0:\ :mx#0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/(Windows Alias for Printer):\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/(Windows Alias for Printer)/(Windows Alias for printer).acct:\ :sh:\ :rm=(IP for W2K AD F&P Server):\ :rp=(Windows Alias for Printer):\ :bk:\ :control_filter=/usr/share/printconf/util/strip_control_file.sh:\ :lpd_bounce=true:\ :if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper: If you need any assistance, let me know. -----Original Message----- From: Esler, Joel Contractor [mailto:EslerJ@RCERT-S.ARMY.MIL] Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 2:02 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Printing question We have printers sitting off of a W2K Native AD F&P Server.
