[Samba] "Point'n'Print" setup problems (2.2.8a & XP sp1)
Hi - I'm having trouble trying to get "Point'n'Print"
working.
I (think I?) have set it up as per the HOW-TOs but here's what happens...
I login as "root" in the "MAXP" domain to the client
(gservxp). I use
"Network Neighbourhood" to navigate to the server (lambada). I then
open
up "Printers and Faxes" - just for info, the Add Printer wizard is
there.
At this point, the following message gets logged for the client (gservxp):
[2003/07/25 09:03:48, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(252)
gservxp (137.195.14.193) couldn't find service
::{2227a280-3aea-1069-a2de-08002b30309d}
I then right-click any one of the many printers shown and I get a pop-up
box entitled "Printer Properies" containing the text "Printer
properties
cannot be displayed. Operation could not be completed <OK>"
I include the version numbers, configs, etc. below - any help greatly
appreciated!
Steve.

[Samba] Point'n'Print works for NT4 but not for XP? (Was: "Point'n'Print" setup problems (2.2.8a & XP sp1))
Hi - Last week I mailed the list saying I was having trouble getting "Point'n'Print" to work for XP clients. Today, as an experiment, I installed NT4 on a spare machine and "point'n'print" works fine for it. This suggest that the problem is specific to XP (although I haven't tried a W2k machine). Is there a known problem and/or fix for "point'n'print" with XP? Alternatively, if you have this working, please get in touch! Thanks, Steve.
