You must create a output filter. Edit /etc/printcap and add your client printer like this: ... PC-PRINTER:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/PP01:\ :mx#0:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :if=/var/spool/lpd/Filter/PP01:\ :sh: ... Adjust the printcap parameters as needed (spool directory, directory to find the filter script). Make sure the lpd can access the directory. Consult your manual. Now create the filter

Is this a samba issue or cups? I can print from a client just fine if I install a local printer attached to a local smb port (\\server\printershare). But when I create a "network" printer (using apw or double clicking on printershare in explorer), all I get for a test page (or from anything else actually) is a blank page with three non-alpha, greek lookin chars in the upper right.

Recently switched main samba servers and turned up a problem CUPS printers are all published and can be connected to by browsing the server, but if, as I was used to doing, you connect by entering the UNC of the printer directly in the run dialog in windows. you get "\\server\printershare is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the

Further. What's a concise way to describe this problem. It must have been encountered before. I usually google all of my issues and find answers that way.

Hi, i try to set up a samba print server with cups, but when i use the cupsaddprinter command, all copy start & stop with no problem, and when the rppcclient command is launch to add the printer driver, it fails and show me this error: # cupsaddsmb -v -U root -a [...many lines...] result was WERR_INVALID_PRINTER_NAME I try to find somthing on the net and other ML & i find this to

hi i have NT and Windows 2000 Client served by a Samba PDC. This PDC is also CUPS-Printingserver. Now i up loaded the windows printing driver to the Samba-server into the print$ share. Under Windows 2000 i can download/install the driver with every PDC-account by clicking on the printershare, under Windows NT i need to be in the local administration group. Is there any possiblity to it under

First allow me to issue this disclaimer... The following problem is most likely due to my own ignorance. Now on to the problem... I'm setting up some printer shares that allow automatic driver installation to Win 9x clients [printer$]. When we try to use these, the drivers install beautifully, but we get the following error message when we try to print: "There was an error writing to

Hi, I have the problem, that from a Windows 2000 System (possibly from others to), a user can use a printershare with the guest account and I don't know why.

Hello, ** Please CC replies to ian@ichilton.co.uk as I am not subscribed ** I have a Brother laser printer connected to a linux box running Samba. It is working fine from Win98 workstations, but now I have Win2K on my laptop, I am unable to print. This is because the linux box obviously doesn't have the win2k driver so I tried to install it as a local printer and then change it to a network

Hi there, Ok. My last postings about my problems with printerinstalation over controlpanel were still not answered. So maybe I have to ask my question in an other way. Is someone able to install a printer shared by Samba 3/Samba pre3 x over the controlpanel? I can't. I can't see my Server. I can see the Domain name and I can see other clients wich belong to the domain. I can see all and

Hi LUs, I dont have much time at the moment to read tons of documentation. So, I would like to ask a hopefully easy to answer question. Samba is running alright with me, smbclient works fine, but I would like to print from my Linux box over LAN to a printer (HP 560C) connected to a win2k box. Because I can't afford a better or second printer & I also havent got enough room for it

Hi @all, I have 2 questions about printer driver installation on w2k-client for a samba served printer: 1. If I want to install a driver on w2k workstation, I choose network printer and then can browse the network. If printers are served from a Nt/w2k-server, in my opinion it is not nessesary to double click the netbios name of the Nt/w2k-server to see the shared printers. In this case under

Hi all. I have read carefully all your posts and I am glad to see that some of you workaround this new MS surprise... To solve the problem, I understand that : * if you use the "AD way of deploying printers", the workaround is to use the "Computer ConfigurationPoliciesAdministrative TemplatesPrintersOverride Print Driver Compatibility Execution Setting Reported By Print

Hi, sorry if this is off topic, but it only happens when samba is involved, maybe anybody here has an idea. System info: - Clients used were Win10, ranging from 1803 to 1903. - The DCs are running Samba 4.7.6. - The print server is a member server. I tried both scenarios with two samba print servers, Ubuntu 18.04, Cups 2.7. One had Ubuntus Samba, 4.7.6. The other used Louis van Belles 4.10.7. -

I am having problems with the driver installation for WIN40 (9x machines) in Samba 2.2.5 / Samba 2.2.6pre2 on a Solaris 8 machine. I build binary packages for both debian and solaris environments. For debian 2.2.5, I use the 2.2.5 source with the printing patch provided by Jerry Carter. I use the packaging/Debian/debian systems to build and package the source. For Solaris I use the

Dear Samba Gurus We have been using samba to work a print solution for our University for quite sometime, where the user doesn't need an account on the domain, nor does the PC need to be part of our Domain or Workgroup. Users can print to the machine via \\server\printershare and this has worked perfectly in the past, because %U is returned as the username their workstation recognises them

I am having an awful time getting a cups printer on a linux system visible to windows XP. I have the printer, a brother hl1440 laser, working on Linux cups,named 1440. I then created another printer on it called raw-1440 and specified raw driver so teh Windows XP driver would be used. Here is my smb.conf entries: load printers = yes printcap name = cups printing = cups [printers] comment =
