I'm running a Debian Woody system with Samba 3.02 from backports.org. What I'm trying to do is set up the Adobe Postscript Windows drivers to a Epson printer I have with CUPS and Samba. I have no problem printing through CUPS on the UNIX side, nor printing through Samba on the Windows side as long as I manually install the drivers. I want set the system up so that when a new Windows machine comes up on the network. I've been able to do this before, but because of a bug introduced in the newest Windows bugfix, I can't log into the Samba machine anymore (with User security). So, I decided to install the drivers on the console (in Linux) using the Samba HOWTO for printing. The first step worked fine (putting the drivers on the Samba server). The second step failed with a WERR_BAD_PASSWORD: john@legolas:~/tmp/printer$ sudo rpcclient rivendell -U'root%passwd' rpcclient $> adddriver Usage: adddriver <Environment> \ <Long Printer Name>:<Driver File Name>:<Data File Name>:\ <Config File Name>:<Help File Name>:<Language Monitor Name>:\ <Default Data Type>:<Comma Separated list of Files> \ [version] rpcclient $> adddriver "Windows NT x86" "Epson_Stylus_Color_580:PSCRIPT5.DLL:Epson_Stylus_Color_580.ppd:PS5UI.DLL:PSCRIPT.HLP:NULL:RAW:PSCRIPT.NTF" 5.02 result was WERR_BAD_PASSWORD A search on Google showed me someone else on the Samba mailing list having the same problem back in Nov. 2003, but I didn't see any solutions. Any one on this list have any idea? -- John L. Fjellstad web: http://www.fjellstad.org/ Quis custodiet ipsos custodes

John, The only way I got this to work was to be logged in as root at a Windows workstation. Start > Run > \\sambaserver Open the Printers folder (for the Samba server). If there is no APW icon, you have a permissions problem (that could be in many different places) that needs fixing first. If you do have an APW icon, right-click on any white space in the icon container, choose Server Properties, and follow the prompts to add the printer drivers to the server. If the buttons to add drivers are greyed out, you still have a permissions issue(but you are much closer than if you have no APW icon!) John's latest book, Samba3 By Example, has better instructions on this than TOSHARG; highly recommended (both, actually)! HTH, Mark -- _____________________________________________ A Message From...
