[crossposting to Samba, CUPS and Linuxprinting mailing lists...] Hi, I have written a Draft for the new Printing Chapter of the Samba-3.0 HOWTO-Collection. It is available at http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/SambaPrintHOWTO/Samba-HOWTO-Collection-3.0-PrintingChapter-3rd-draft.html A PDF version (for convenient printing) is at http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/SambaPrintHOWTO/Samba-HOWTO-Collection-3.0-PrintingChapter-3rd-draft.pdf The Samba 3.0 HOWTO-Collection is due for release alongside the Samba 3.0 soft...

Hi all! I have a situtation that I want to get happening: We have just installed a colour photocopier with duplexing at a client's office. We're looking to have four printers pointing at this one device, with the following settings (one for each printer): * Black and White * Black and White, Duplexed * Colour * Colour Duplexed My question is, can we have server-side settings for

I have RTFM'd, so excuse me if I missed something in the manual. :) 1) When I attempt to add additional drivers (the inital driver worked just fine, when using the instructions in John's HOWTO), I get the following error: "The printer driver you selected is either not compatible with your current version of Windows, or it may not be available. Select a compatible driver from the

...t Samba. According (hopefully) to these howtos I have setup printers and prepared their cups postscript drivers to be installed automatically via Samba and the so called Point'n'Print method: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-456501-highlight-.html http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/SambaPrintHOWTO/Samba-HOWTO-Collection-3.0-PrintingChapter-11th-draft.html Everything works pretty well except that a new windows client that installs the driver tries to print out as Letter instead of A4. I can then change this setting and it is correctly saved, but only on this particular client. Is there a way...

Hi, Everyone! I've installed samba + print$ driver + cups successfully on my Debian Box, and I've made a simple page count program for the printed PCL and postscript files, it runs nicesly, but one problem I encountered is that I can't check the "Advanced " option on for the samba printer (I've tried to check them, but it does not take effect), while I can do it well

This is the EXACT problem I had. Haven't fixed it either.... if I have 10 printers.... upload all the drivers.. for all the OS's... how do I tell which drivers go with which printer? -----Original Message----- From: Andreas [mailto:andreas@conectiva.com.br] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 9:24 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] 2.2.8a, printer driver download: need to use

Hi there, I'm newbie in Samba, so I beg for your excuse if my questions are stupid. Is it possible to use Samba as a "paid-for-print" server? If U know something about another free "paid-for-print" software, please let me know. 10x in advance, -- Julian

I've scoured the newsgroups and asked MANY people, does anyone out there have any ideas ? I'm new to the CUPS arena and I'm trying to figure out what to do from the separate docs. I'm using SLES7 (2.4.7 kernel). The files I'm using are: 4368072 May 22 06:22 cups-1.1.19rc5-source.tar.gz 197341 May 22 06:22 cups-samba-1.1.19rc2.tar.gz 4961128 May 22 07:58

I have a Debian laptop and an OS X desktop computer. on the Mac I have set up windows file sharing and I have set up print sharing. I then proceded to install samba and komba2 on my system....all set up and komba2 sees mt workgroup and sees the shared printer...it registers it with CUPS and everything........ however, I tried printing and nothing happened. I checked CUPS on the laptop and it

...AW mode using windows original drivers of the printers, everything works fine, but this way I can't use cups accounting. So I reinstaled all my printers in cups using their PPD (using redhat printconf) , and followed the tutorial in linuxprinting.org (http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/SambaPrintHOWTO/Samba-HOWTO-Colle ction-3.0-PrintingChapter-11th-draft.html). But even if I got no errors in the process I can't print from my windows using the cups postscript drivers. Let me tell what have I done, and how.

Hi, I'm trying to get Samba to offer the Adobe driver automatically for the two printers I have set up with CUPS. I have all of the necessary files plucked out of the Adobe Postscript Windows driver package, but I'm hitting the problem when I come to run "cupsaddsmb -v ..." that the "rpcclient adddrivers" command always fails with NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL. The drivers

Hi, I created a PDFPrinter as per http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=105301236523413&w=2 I have another question, do I need to add a Color Laser Printer Driver in W2K to the PDF share to generate color PDF in Windows? Regards, Norman

Hi, samba 2.2.8a freshly compiled cups 1.1.19final-1 (debian) while using cupsaddsmb, all runs well until adddriver, when rpcclient returns a cryptic NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_DEVICE. I've followed the SambaPrintHowto 3.0 from 7.11.6.1 to 7.11.6.6, and it fails on the latest as well. Here is some more information. ===8<=== cupsaddsmb -a -v Running command: smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N -U'root%password' -c 'mkdir W32X86;put /var/spool/cups/tmp/3efe4c625dcc2 W32X86/MomijiPrintingSystem.ppd;put...

Hi, I have updated the Draft for the Printing Chapter of the new Samba 3.0 HOWTO-Collection. The version now is 0.94beta9.

...eprecated for later > releases. > > So going forward, what can I replace this option with? Does it hurt > anything if left alone? Samba's printing support has changed so much since the 2.0.7 days that you need to check out this document: http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/SambaPrintHOWTO/ Samba has changed from being a "Windows 95 workstation sharing a printer" to a fully fledged "NT print server" and more. You certainly wouldn't expect a Windows-95-only user (or admin) to run an NT print server from the moment of the switch without some prior study.... &...

I'd like to set up my samba 2.2.8a server to serve printer drivers to clients when needed. I have set up the print$ share, in which I still have no drivers. Tried adding drivers from a win2000 workstation by using "server properties" command, I can't add anything since all buttons are greyed out. The user I am using is in the printer admin group in smb.conf. I

Hello I'm setting up the automatic printer driver download feature, and it works nicelly except for one little thing: I have to use, on the samba machine, rpcclient's setdriver command to associate a printer with its driver. I didn't see this requirement in the Samba howto, it only mentions setdriver as a way to speed up large installations. Am I missing something? Should windows

I have a network with an NT as PDC. There are ...5-6 printers on my network shared by the network users. How can I use them? What do I have to put in my configuration file?

It seems like the files sent to the samba spool and then over to CUPS seem to stay in the /var/spool/samba directory indefinately. Is there a fix to this via a configuration, or just setting up a cron job to purge? Thanks

I'm trying to set up a cups printer but I don't know much about printing in linux and am a bit confused. I've installed a printer in cups using the web interface and it works fine. All the tutorials I've read though refer to /var/spool/lpd/lp but on my system this doesn't exist. I'm guessing this is because I'm not using lpd, I'm using cups. There are a few
