The APW asked me for a Win2k-server cd for the winnt drivers, although i had them on a disc...which I don't have 2 Questions: 1) does anybody know why the APW will not accept my winnt driver from the driver disc when i comes to install the winnt driver 2) is it possible to only install the win2k drive...

Hi, I have set up my samba server as a print only server. Nothing specific is wrong. The print server is working but I have a couple of questions about using APW to install printer drivers and Windows 7. Linux server: Centos 6 Samba version: 3.6.3 - Default install (./configure; make && make install) I did the usual, net use \\myprinter\print$ /user:root Browse to \\myprinter.

Hi, On Samba 3.0.2a on debian stable with a 2.6.5 kernel, each time I use APW to configure my printers, smbd takes more and more memory and the kernel does an Out of Memory (I have 512 Mo RAM). It's Xerox printers. Is the problem known (and corrected in 3.0.3rc1) or is it new ? Thanks for the answer. Cordialy, -- Yohann F.

So far so good: The W2K virtual machine can see and write to the data share just fine. The W2K virtual machine can see all of the Linux printers just fine as well. But, the APW does not appear in the Printers folder for the Linux host machine when viewed in the W2K virtual machine. According to the Samba docs, this is because "The APW will be show only if the connected user is able to successfully execute an OpenPrinterEx(\\server) with administrative privileges (i.e...

The mechanism for uploading drivers seems to be working fine but I've recently got two new printers: an HP laserjet4200tn & and OKI c5100.

Hello all, I am trying to get to the bottom of a printing issue with samba-3.0.25b-2.fc7 and cups-1.2.11-2.fc7. I wasn't sure whether to start here or the CUPS list. When left running for an hour or two, the CUPS process will often be left using nearly 100% CPU. At this point, printing and add printer wizard operations from Windows clients over Samba are unreliable. Dialog boxes pertaining

I'm running samba 2.2.2-6 on a redhat 7.2 box running 2.4.9-7 kernel... I'm trying to upload printer drivers from a Windows 2000 client. I've followed the instructions in the samba howto collection. I've created the print$ share, created the printer directory and subdirs, and made sure they are writeable by me. I put myself in the write list and the printer admin list.
