similar to: HP z3200ps printer ppd

Well, today, I feel like a real, old time sysadmin. Now, I didn't have to write a driver in assembly for the printer, but.... We got this huge, 44" HP Designjet z3200ps printer. Only supports Win and Mac. Fine, I hang it off of one of our servers on a subnet (at $0.96/foot paper, we're the only ones who print on it....). Then I'm thinking that all I really need is a .ppd. My

Yeah, about that... Back in '12, we got a nice HP poster printer. They don't support Linux, but a co-worker got the .ppd out of the Mac support file. I tried it, then I looked at the file in vi... and found it *only* supported the 24" printer, *not* the 44" printer that we had. Well, we just bought a replacement, since the old printer was EOL'd. This time, I went to hplips,

Hi all, This is a re-post of a question I originally submitted 10/22. There have been no responses, so I am trying again as this problem has us stalled in our tracks re managing printer drivers with rpcclient. >>I am getting a fatal Signal 11 event when I use >>install_printer_drivers.pl on AIX 4.3.3 with Samba 2.2.1a so I would like >>to bring you up to date on my

We've got this huge HP DesignJet Z9 printer, for printing posters. Except... I got the latest hplips installed, it knows this printer... but there are no poster-sized settings. Now, I've started hacking the .ppd, as I did six year ago for the old poster printer, but it seems, after a good bit of googling, that it would be easier, when I hit print from okular, and get the dialog window, to

Hi Jerry Carter and list members, The post below was rejected by the list moderator as too big. That cost me four days and now I am really anxious for positive feedback from rpcclient experts either in the field or at samba.org. It was too big because I included a listing of STDERR and STDOUT from setting debug level to 10 in step #4 of install_printer_drivers.pl. I have trimmed it down by

We just got two of these HP LJ M602 "enterprise" printers in, and I'm trying to work out what driver/ppd. The model's not listed in the current - does anyone know what might work for it? I really don't want to have to install hplips on 140 or 150 systems.... mark

I hope I am not asking an obvious question. I have googled and looked in the obvious places, but I may have missed it. Anyway my question is two fold. How do I configure for a network printer in Wine and how to I install the printer specific ppd file? I am running 0.9.60, which I installed this week, on Mepis (Debian based with KDE and cups). I can print from PageMaker, but get a warning that

Hey All, just a quick question about printer upload/download stuff that's been confusing the hell out of me for a couple days... This might be a Samba, or a CUPS problem, so i've posted this on both newsgroups, but if anyone's had a similar problem I'd really appreciate any help! I'm running Samba 2.2.7 and CUPS 1.1.17 on a RedHat 7.3 System.. I'm trying to get the

I found the .ppd for our brand new HP z3200ps 44" printer - a coworker got me the one from the Mac, and I edited it to separate out the Mac-only commands (there's even an #ifdef in ppd language), and it prints; I don't even need postprocessing, apparently... except that even though it knows how wide the paper is (in this case, a 24" wide roll that came with the printer), it

I have a lot of printers that will use the same ppd. For example, I have about 50 hp 4250 printers to configure. How can I figure out which driver that system-config-printer uses so I can use lpadmin to add the rest? _____________________________________ "He's no failure. He's not dead yet."

Hello All, I have come across a problem that I am not sure where to begin: We have an HP DesignJet 5000 PS 60 wide format printer that is part of our public printing pool which we share out to the pc world via Samba. I am using Samba 3.0.11 in RHAS Enterprise Linux, Update 3. When I install the printer driver onto the server using the Windows APW, and then install the printer on a fresh

I am running wine version 20010824 and have been trying to get printing to work. I am running wine on a Slackware 8.0 box with the 2.4.7 kernel. Command: wine -debugmsg +psdrv excel.exe Result: ---snip trace:psdrv:PSDRV_Init (0x41422000, 0x00000002, (nil)) trace:psdrv:PSDRV_Init (0x41422000, 0x00000003, (nil)) FIXME:pthread_rwlock_rdlock FIXME:pthread_rwlock_unlock ---snip

OK, I've downloaded and installed the driver (pxljr-1.1-1.i386.rpm), and the ppd file (HP-Color_LaserJet_3550-pxljr.ppd) in /etc/cups/ppd. Now I'm trying to set up the printer, connected to the network via a JetDirect printer server at location 192.168.0.200. Trouble is, I'm really not sure about all the settings in Printer Configuration - specifically, what should the Device URI be -

I have had terrible luck trying to find a ppd that works correctly for both win9x clients and winNT/2000/XP at the same time. The CUPS method is to find one ppd that works for all and I have tried several: those at linuxprinting.org, hp's sourceforge site, vendor winNT ppds (docs suggest these), and vendor win98 ppds. I have tried filtering PJL and not filtering PJL. I have the stock

Greetings, I am using Samba (both 2.2.8a and 3.0.4) on servers running CUPS and have used cupsaddsmb to make the Cups drivers available for download to the client PCs. Everything has been working as it should. I need to make some changes to the PPD files on the CUPS servers. The question I have is about propagating the changes to the client PCs. I can either hand edit the copy of the PPD

Hi there! I am trying to get the samba cups integration to work. After some fiddling I can now install the Adobe Postscript Printer driver remotely. Unfortunately Windows 98 clients (I haven't checked with NT,2000,XP yet) only get the default ppd. What is the proper naming convention for the ppd files? Currently we use the printer DNS name pr100, pr101, pr102, ... Should the ppd files be named

Hi, Samba list readers, I am forwarding these mails from one of the Linuxprinting.org lists to you (with the $SUBJECT changed by me), because surely some of you must have been bitten by this too.... This problem is verified on W2K (but not yet for NT/ME/XP/9x). Cheers, Kurt ################# problem description by Elena Khan #################### -------- Original Message -------- To:

Hello all, I am running a Debian testing/unstable system with samba 2.2.3a-6 and cupsys 1.1.15-4 as a member server in a samba domain. I have used CUPS to add a networked HP8100N printer and it works fine locally, but I'm having difficulty adding it to samba for Win98 domain clients to use. I ran cupsaddsmb to add the printer and drivers to samba, but it cannot find the PPD file... where is

Here is a problem I posted to HP's forum on the DesignJet drivers for the 755cm, but something tells me someone clever here has already hacked around this or a similar printer and might know how to solve my problem: --- When installing drivers on a remote Samba server (ie. Windows NT emulation, and perhaps real NT as well), you are able to install printer drivers for a printer for various
