Hi !
I hate to do this but I'm close to get crazy about printing with samba.
I have a samba server ver 2.2.5 running as a domain controler.
The domain logon works fine, I've created the computer account by hand for
testing and it is great. The problem is with printing.
I've created the [print$] share all the directories in this share like
W32ALPHA, W32MIPS, W32PPS, W32X86, WIN40.
When I try to install a driver from a WIN NT4.0 machine the driver files are
coppied succesfull and after this i get a message like:
"Unable to change to the specified driver, original settings will be
restored."
I hope it is nothing releated to the fact that first I have tried to install
the driver from a win2000 machine ....
all the time I was trying to add the driver as user "root" so the
accest to
ntdrivers.tdb should not be a problem.
smb.conf file :
------------------------------------------------------
[global]
; Basic server settings
netbios name = GANJA
workgroup = CCT
; we should act as the domain and local master browser
os level = 64
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
; security settings (must user security = user)
security = user
printer admin = @ntadmin
; encrypted passwords are a requirement for a PDC
encrypt passwords = yes
; support domain logons
domain logons = yes
; where to store user profiles?
logon path = \\%N\profiles\%u
; where is a user's home directory and where should it
; be mounted at?
logon drive = H:
logon home = \\homeserver\%u
; specify a generic logon script for all users
; this is a relative **DOS** path to the [netlogon] share
logon script = logon.cmd
; necessary share for domain controller
[netlogon]
path = /export/smb/netlogon
read only = yes
write list = @ntadmin,root
; share for storing user profiles
[profiles]
path = /export/smb/ntprofile
read only = no
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
[print$]
path = /export/smb/print
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
read only = yes
write list = @ntadmin,root
[HP5000N]
comment = HP 5000N Floor 1
create mask = 0700
path = /export/smp/spool
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -Plp -r -h -s %s
lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -Plp
lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -Plp %j
lppause command = /usr/bin/lpc stop %p
lpresume command = /usr/bin/lpc start %p
browseable = yes
writable = no
printable = yes

Thank you in advance,

If you are using 2.2.5 have you applied the patch from http://download.samba.org/samba/ftp/patches/jerry/post-2.2.5/ 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 don't know if this is the accepted practice, but the way I "fixed" the problem with the PCL 5e drivers was 1) sit down and test 2) cry 3) install the PCL version of the drivers (notice the lack of the '5e') PCL 6 also worked, albeit much slower, but PCL 5e dies every time. -Larry Engleman The Burgiss Group 201-795-5144 -----Original Message----- From: Tim Allen [mailto:timallen@ls83.fsnet.co.uk] Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 2:38 PM To: Gerald Carter Cc: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] Please Help.
