[Samba] Fw: Win95 & Win98 - NOT WORKING - NT,2000, XP are ok (reposted)
Hi Peter, i had a long, frunstrating web surfing yesterday night, searching for something that could apply to your case. I didn't find much at all, sorry. The only thing perhaps interesting to you could be this: http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/printer_driver2.html This doc contains a section about migrating from 2.0.x to 2.2.x I think the problem lyes in the new way samba manages printing, that is by listening the MS-RPCs (Remote Procedure Call) coming from the winNT and win2000 clients. This is done thanks to spoolss, as i figured out reading here and there across the net. Well they say spoolss supports even win9x driver calls, even if those OSes do not actually make an RPC. They also say that backward compat. is reached through "use client driver" and "spoolss disable". With these options enabled, the samba server should act just like it was a 2.0.x I think you'd need help from the samba guys themselves, so i advice reposting this problem with a more shocking subject line (suggest to use the keyword BUG :)) so you'll be able to capture their attention. Really sorry not to have been useful to you... cheers Maq ----- Original Message ----- From: <peter.a.bryant@mainroads.qld.gov.au> To: <samba@lists.samba.org> Cc: <maraqas@libero.it> Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 12:02 AM Subject: Win95 & Win98 - NOT WORKING - NT,2000, XP are ok (reposted)> > > > >Date: 07 Mar 2003 00:50:28 +0100 > >From: maq <maraqas@libero.it> > >To: SambaList <samba@lists.samba.org> > >Subject: [Re: [Samba] printing - Win95 & Win98 not working - NT,2000, XPare> ok.] > > > >1) Do you have a backup copy of your old smb.conf? > >2) Try adding public=yes to the printer share definition > > > Thanks for the suggestions but... > > 1 - yep I am basically using the same old conf file on which printing was > working for Win95, 98 with a few necessary modifications. > > 2 -The printer share has "guest ok" which is the same as public=yes > > any other ideas? > > > > > > ************************************************************ > Opinions contained in this e-mail do not necessarily reflect > the opinions of the Queensland Department of Main Roads, > Queensland Transport or National Transport Secretariat, or > endorsed organisations utilising the same infrastructure. > If you have received this electronic mail message in error, > please immediately notify the sender and delete the message > from your computer. > ************************************************************ >
