Hi list. I've just got Samba up and running as a fileserver just fine. Now I'm trying to use it as a printserver using CUPS. I can see said printer via Network Neighborhood on XP boxes and add it in Windows but no print jobs complete. No errors in Windows yet no printing start on the printer. Would this be a question of spool permissions? Right now I'm using spool

I'm trying to configure a Linux workstation to print to my Samba printserver and can't figure out what I'm missing. Both are running CUPS. Windows clients print fine to the Samba box. Any ideas?

Hi all. I've got most of the Samba config dialed in yet I still cannot get printing or file sharing going from my main desktop (Debian Sarge). Here's what I tried: root@PlanetExpress:/home/bax# mount -t smbfs -o username=planetexpress,password=tigerlily //printserver/homes /mnt/Samba Unknown parameter encountered: "passdb backend" Ignoring unknown parameter "passdb

OK, I've tried changing my printcap name from printcap to cups. Printing works fine locally using CUPS on the Samba box. What am I missing here? Why can't I print to the Samba box via the Windows and linux clients? Shared directories work fine. I am really frustrated here and have exhausted Google and all other resources I have. Here's my smb.conf for what it's worth.

Hi list. I'm a Marine based near San Diego CA and I'm trying to setup a Libranet/Debian box as a file and printserver. The main goal is printing right now. I have good connectivity (ping and resolve by NETBIOS name). I have enabled File and Print Sharing on my Windows clients as well as making the appropriate entries in my hosts file. NETBIOS is aslo enabled as well as using the

Hi list. I'm having problems w/ printing using Samba on Redhat 8. Shared drives work fine yet my CUPS printing doesn't work. I sure appreciate any input. For what it's worth, I couldn't find any printing related errors in /var/log/samba/. I notice that the printcap doesn't have a sub-directory named cups like my old Debian box. Could that be it?

Hi all. In the interest of using a more mainstream business distribution, I changed my faithful file/printserver over to Redhat 8.0 from Debian Testing. Now, my shared directories are working fine but printing is not working. I can browse to the printer using net view or Network Neighborhood in Windows or using smbclient -L in Linux but printing is not working. I've checked
