I've an odd problem with samba, running on SCO3.2.4.1. (sys.V) Most PC's (runing win95 or NT) seem to print fine. A few however will print the first print job OK, but will not print again until either the samba deamon is restarted or the PC is reset, or if a new printer is added on the PC that points to the same place. The connection is made, and the print job is spooled by samba (into /tmp) but the lp service doesn't seem to see it. Restarting the SMB daemon doesn't appear to forward these 'lost' print jobs. The printer is also set up on another unix box, which accepts smb requests and forwards them to the SCO3.2.4.1 box via lp. If the same user prints to this unix box (running SCO 3.2.4.2) then it comes out fine, AND _some_ of the previous jobs come out that had been sent to the other unix box. Is this a problem that you have seen before ? It looks like samba isn't talking to the lp system on the 3.2.4.1 box properly; I'd be really grateful for any ideas, as I'm at a bit of a loss !

Dear Sir
Thanks for reading this. Hope you will help me.
I am using samba 1.9.17p2 on SunSparc-20 running solaris2.5.1 for
printing and file sharing with PC-network. File sharing is working
fine but I want to print to a WfWg printer from Solaris. So I have
used script smbprint.sysv and try to print. But I am facing
following problems:
1- I can only do command line printing e.g lp <file name>
2- I can't print from Xwindows and following message appears on
screen: " NO print filter defined..."
3- There is no word wraping and long lines are truncated.
4- How can I define filter according to my needs and how can i
attach it with my samba printer?
4- I have installed TCP32b on WFWG print server.
I am trying to print from unix to WFWG from last couple of weeks but
could not succeeded. Now i become furstrate and need your help to
overcome this problem.
Waiting to hear from you.
Thanks

Just one more thing on this topic: someone mentionned using the HP
JetDirect. New versions feature a variable "banner" (editable via
telnet)
that does precisely that, include a banner or not for every print job.
Eg. here I disabled it on an HP LaserJet + HP JetDirect (firmware A.05.05),
and with one single queue we print correctly from both Unix and Windows!
YMMV.
I also discovered the one-connection limit of the JetDirect. :(

Is it possible to use Samba to print from a Unix machine to a printer connected to a Win 95 machine over a LAN. The printer is the Windows only HP Deskjet 820 Cxi.

Hi folks, I got a problem with this error message: SMBtconX failed. ERRSRV - ERRinvdevice (Invalid device - printer request made to non printer connection or non printer request made to printer connection) Perhaps you are using the wrong sharename, username or password? Some servers insist that these be in uppercase What does this message exactly say? Problem is: I am in an university network domain running under OpenVMS VAX V7.1 and I want to print to a printer from DIGITAL, LN17ps, running under DECprint Supervisor V1.5! This worked until two weeks ago!!!!!! It worked fine. But now this error message comes up. Well: - Does anybody has an Idea what thias message means? - Does anybody have any suggestion what to do? - Does anybody know where I could get help (newsgroups, companies, manuals, ...) ? - Does this error could have something to do with an upgrade to OpenVMS VAX V7.2? Thank you for any suggestion!!! Philipp
Greetings again,
I'm trying to set up Samba for printing following the O'Reilly Samba
book and RedHat's own installation book. I've set up 2 network printers
on HP JetDirect servers, and can print to either of them from the
Printtool in Gnome perfectly well. If I print from the command line I
can print to either, but if I printed from a Windows 95 client, despite
using either printer, I could only print to lj5mp. Now I can't print to
either and I don't know what I've done.
The shares are as follows:
[hp4050tn]
comment = HP 4050TN
printable = yes
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r %s
printer = lp0
printing = BSD
path = /usr/spool/samba/lp0
browsable = yes
public = yes
guest ok = yes
[lj5mp]
comment = HP LaserJet 5MP
printable = yes
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r %s
printer = lp
path = /usr/spool/samba/lp
printing = BSD
guest ok = yes
Guest is set to nobody. What should the printer spool permissions and
ownweships be? It was all working so well .....

Samba Group, I am interested in using samba to print from Linux to printers on windows machines on a LAN. I read sections of chapter 7 in O'Reilly's "Using Samba" book. Now I've got some questions. Samba's running on RedHat 6.1. It's on a LAN with the printer attached to an NT-4.0 server. Do I use BSD style printing or Sys-V style printing? How do I use SWAT from the Linux machine that samba is on? Any other suggestions for making this work? Wayne
I set my printers up to bypass my NT domain and print directly to the printer (using CUPS www.cups.org). Otherwise, your spooling documents to your Linux box, then to the NT box, followed by the printer. This also eliminates the need to deal with NT Domain authentication. I like cups because it allows you to spool to HP's Jetdirect interface directly (on port 9100) instead of their flaky lpd port. Print a test page on the printer to get the IP address of the printer. To use SWAT, go to http://localhost:901 -----Original Message----- From: Wayne [mailto:wayne99@att.net] Sent: Saturday, December 09, 2000 8:24 AM To: samba list Subject: samba printing Samba Group, I am interested in using samba to print from Linux to printers on windows machines on a LAN.

I have a deskjet 895Cse printer that works perfectly through samba and lpr.
Currently the printer prints jobs from win2k and win95 machines. The problem
is that when users try to print large documents such as omre than 20 pages
the printer stops printing and just hangs there. I have to restart lpd and
restart the printer and resend the job.
The samba logs just say this
[2001/04/21 04:35:10, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(583)
desktop (192.168.1.2) closed connection to service DeskJet
which i suppose means that the win2k machine ends the connection before the
print job is sent or what?
SO how can i fix this from happening?
Heres my smb.conf part of the printer share
[DeskJet]
printable = yes
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -h %s
printer = lp
printing = BSD
read only = yes
guest ok = no
invalid users = root bin daemon nobody named sys tty disk mem kmem
users
Also i was wondering if there is a way to notify the user that the print job
is finished as it is done with the NT spoolers. Can that be done with samba?
Thank you

Hi, I am desperate for some help with samba printing. I would truly appreciate any light you could shed into this turmoil. I have samba running on RH 7.1. I have configured my printers with the printtool with their respective drivers. I installed the samba printers on my NT workstations. When a user sends a print job to a printer, the job does not show in the printer icon on the NT WKS. It can be seen on the Linux box with the lpq -P devicename command. If I configure a port on the printer properties on NT than I can see the queue in the NT printer icon but not on Linux. Is is possible to see the queue in both places? We cannot configure a port for each user because we want the admin group to control the print jobs. Thanks you so much in advance. Dominique
Yes, but I am using windows 98. Is DEFAULT ACCEPT the only line in lpd.perms? On Fri, Dec 14, 2001 at 10:02:18AM -0800, dominique@linuxwon.org wrote:> Joel, > > Thanks so much for the response. I have made change per you instructions, the DEFAULT is set to ACCEPT in lpd.perms. I still cannot see the queue on NT.

I would remove all lines except the last DEFAULT ACCEPT line. Joel
Hi- I want to be able to use a linux server with Samba for all my users to spool their print jobs too. Right now we have a Windows NT Server that shares all of our printers, most of the are connected through JetDirect cards and other print server devices. Then I share those printers out to each of the users. How would I accomplish this with Samba and CUPS? Thanks!! _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
I sent the following yesterday with no response. Somebody out there must know how to cope with this error message. Hope the right person reads this. I have Samba running on the linuxbox serving WinME on the other boxes. My printer is an hp deskjet hooked to a WinME machine. I used gnome>System settings>Printing to set up printing from the linuxbox to the WinME box. Everything went smooth during setup with the printer being recognized properly as 'Networked Windows (SMB)' When I try a test print I get the error 'Get_localhost: 'Localhost' IP address not available'. When I try to print a document it appears to cache, go away and never come back. Anybody have any suggestions? -- Bob McLaughlin <bobm142@attbi.com>
I think the command is print filename. The file should be formatted for your printer. man smbclient is a must read.

Hello. I'm looking to setup printing in the local lab via samba. The printserver must hold print jobs untill released by users. I tried samba + cups with postscript drivers hosted on samba, but can't figure out hot to make it hold print jobs instead of printing them right away. Thanks
Hello, We've got this very system working in our IT suites. The basic way to do this is to set up samba to have the following lines in smb.conf>[global] > ... > ... > printcap name = lpstat > ... > .. >[printers] > ... > ... > print command = lp %s -o job-hold-until=indefinite > ...You may need to adjust the lp command to suit your system In the cupsd.conf make the following changes> .. > .. > ServerName 192.168.0.200 > SystemGroup staff > .. > <Location /jobs> > AuthType Basic > AuthClass Group > AuthGroupName staff > Allow from 192.168.* > </Location>"staff is the linux user group of the people you want to control the print jobs 192.168.0.200 is the IP address of the printserver. Check the cups documentation for more info.

Good Afternoon, We recently added encrypted smb passwords to our site. I just tried to add a printer to samba and it will not work. I tried to connect to \\sambahost\printer and it will not connect. All the older printers still work. I just wonder if there is an extra step I need to perform now when I add printers? Thanks for your time, Bill -- William M.
