Hi, I'we tried posting this before without any luck! I share a printer and some shares on my samba 3.0.2a-debian server. No fancy domain-logon, just plain workgroup connect (smb.conf below). The problem is, sometimes when i choose to print from my XP-pro machine, the printer don't react... The shares work fine, and i read/write from them, but i can't print. Neither cups, samba or syslog throws any error in the log, and the printjob just halts in the XP-printqueue in the systray. The printer shows itself as ready, but if I try to change any options in the printer preferences, I get a CAN'T SAVE CONFIGURATION error! The problem is solved only upon a samba-restart, and then I print and change options without any problems... until next time I can't print (The log below is from samba after a restart) From XP-home, where i type passwd on each connection to the shares, I print everytime without any problems. Please help Thanks Torben --- smb.conf --- [global] netbios name = SERVER workgroup = NR4 server string = server security = user encrypt passwords = true passdb backend = smbpasswd socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=4096 SO_SNDBUF=4096 dns proxy = no load printers = yes printing = cups printcap name = cups log file = /var/log/samba/samba.log log level = 2 [printers] comment = Printere path = /tmp browseable = yes public = yes guest ok = yes writable = yes printable = yes printer admin = @lpadmin SAMBA LOG [2004/04/26 16:05:54, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(105) netbios connect: name1=NR4 name2=XPPRO [2004/04/26 16:05:54, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(112) netbios connect: local=server remote=xppro, name type = 0 [2004/04/26 16:05:54, 2] smbd/sesssetup.c:setup_new_vc_session(591) setup_new_vc_session: New VC == 0, if NT4.x compatible we would close all old resources.
