[Samba] Samba and Win2k: Printing from Outlook Express
Hi, we are operating the IT of a small non-profit organization with a Samba server (2.2.5) and roughly 15 Win2k workstations. Everything works fine so far but one single issue: Printing messages from Outlook Express: only the header of the mail is printed, no single line of the body. All the domain users are standard-users (I'm not sure about the correct English wording, may be someone could help: the German word is Standard-Benutzer) on the workstations. And for every of these users printing from Outlook Express fails in the above mentioned way. Never mind whether a local or a network printer is used. As soon as I make the user a "Haupt-Benutzer" (please help again, what is the correct English word?) he/she can print from Outlook Express correctly. Sounds this familiar to someone of you? Or does anyone have a hint concerning the smb.conf below related to this problem? Thank you very much, Wolfgang This is my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = KJA-ESSEN.DOM netbios name = FILESERVER1 server string = KJA Essen Fileserver encrypt passwords = Yes smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd log level = 1 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m time server = Yes domain admin group = @ntadmin logon script = %u.bat logon path = \\fileserver1\profiles\%u logon drive = U: logon home = \\fileserver1\%u domain logons = Yes os level = 65 preferred master = True domain master = True wins support = Yes comment = KJA_ESSEN_SERVER create mask = 0770 #security mask = 0770 #force security mode = 00 directory mask = 0770 #directory security mask = 0770 #force directory security mode = 00 veto files = /lost+found/ browseable = No # don't use this options #code page directory = /usr/local/samba/lib/codepages #client code page = 850 #character set = ISO8859-1 [printer1] comment = Adrema-Drucker path = /var/spool/lpd/samba1 browseable = yes writable = yes printable = yes printing = bsd printer = printer1 force user = lp [printer2] comment = Laser-Drucker 2.
