I'm very new to Linux and Samba so bear with me - I am migrating our business to a Linux/Samba network from an NT network - using Samba as a PDC. We are running RH7.3, Samba v2.2.7a, and CUPS v1.1.14 I have a test network set-up which includes the Linux/Samba PDC server, a Win2000 client and a HP Jetdirect network printer (Laserjet 4Si) Domain logons and filesharing works fine, but I

Hi All, When our server receives simultaneous print jobs from 2 or more clients, the print service stalls and I have to manually restart it (lpsched). I am running Samba 2.0.4b under Solaris 2.5.1 on a SPARC 20 and I'm using system V printing. The printers are connected to the ethernet using HP Jetdirect cards and administered by jetadmin on the Sun box. Any ideas on how I could troubleshoot

Anyone successfully using a HP 8000 DN or HP 5 Lsi (with JetDirect module and assigned IP) with samba? Subject says it all. If you're successfully doing this, what configs made it work? FAQs tell how to set up with a print server, but what if the printer itself is the server? Trust me, the HP doesn't know jack about port 139. Using samba 2.0.4 on Solaris 7 and NT 4.0 SP5 with

We have a HP Design Jet 650C Plotter which is hooked to the net via a jetdirect nic. Now I dont have a clue on how to use this plotter over the net. It doesent show up in the network neighborhood and I cant find anything about jetdirect plotters in the Linux documentation or the inet. The server is running Suse Linux 6.2 and Samba 2.05a.

OK, I have been wrestling with this for two weeks now, so somebody please help ! We have an existing Samba Print Server, running RedHat linux, kernel 2.2.19, that runs fine, but is a P133 with 64 mb ram. So we built a new PC, the slowest thing we could buy, a duron 1 ghz with 512 mb RAM. Old printer server is running Samba 2.2.5, new printer server is running samba 2.2.5, and Slackware 8.1,

I'm running Samba 2.0.3 from the pre-built binary (ftp://sunsite.org.uk/packages/samba/Binary_Packages/solaris/samba-2.0.3 -sunos-4.1.3.tar.Z) on a Sun IPX with SunOS 4.1.3_U1. I've defined a printer in smb.conf, from a PC (NT 4.0) I can send prints to it and view the queue OK but I can't manage the queue in any way. Attempts to cancel prints and stop or start the queue from the PC

Hi, Is it possible to manage print queue's via windows clients. I get Access denied, unable to connect. I use the lp daemon to print via JetDirect. I am beginning to think it is not possible. If someone out there is doing this could you please share your configurations with us so it can be added to the samba How-to documentation. Respectfully, Nick

Good Afternoon, We recently added encrypted smb passwords to our site. I just tried to add a printer to samba and it will not work. I tried to connect to \\sambahost\printer and it will not connect. All the older printers still work. I just wonder if there is an extra step I need to perform now when I add printers? Thanks for your time, Bill -- William M. Fennell Network Administrator

I've set up Samba and LPRng for HP printers with JetDirect cards. It works for one user at a time. But if the printer is off-line or busy, the samba client does not get an error message, but the job gets lost. :( I would like the print jobs to be spooled on Linux even when there is an active print job or when the printer is off-line. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with lpd. The

Hi again, I realize this is generally not the place for this question but this is always where the answers are so here goes. We have a couple of win95 Pcs that regularly go nuts and arp foreach IP address on their subnet. The resulting broadcast storm is make even worse because of the inability of our net. admin. to 1) explain it 2) contain it 3) fix it (not too bright). I checked the registry

I cannot print to my Samba-printer from Win NT. Printing works fine under X-windows. What could be wrong? //Michael

Hello, I have search up and down about this problem and I have since a lot of posts of people who have had the problem but no solutions so I am posting here hoping that someone can help me out. Here is the scenario. I have Samba Version 3.010 running on Ubuntu 5.04. Everything is working very well with the exception of one item. I have created a shared and when I create a new folder I have

I have ran across a problem that I cant resolve and no one else seems to either. I recently built solaris 2.6 on an ULTRA 1 Sun Box. I retrieved compiled and installed samba 2.0 from their web site I compiled with gcc and everything works well except for the printing. Samba does deliver a file in my /var/spool/smbprint dir but nothing happens from there no matter what lp or other commands I

Hi All, I finally signed up for the list after years of using Samba successfully - a testament to the quality of Samba. Yet now I have a problem with the point-and-print functionality. I am able to authenticate against my server (Solaris 8, Samba 3.0.7, OpenLDAP 2.1.25) as user 'chuck' in my LDAP directory and browse the shares, but when I right-click on the printer and select

Hello, I just moved from SuSE 7.0 to SuSE 7.1 by reinstalling. I use HP 2100TN JetDirect printer. I use kernel-2.4.2, LPRng-3.6.26, ifhp-3.4.4, Samba-2.0.7 Printing from Linux server works just as before. Printing from Windows clients has problems.

Any problems serving up this plotter with Samba 2.2.4? I am using RH 7.3, the plotter has a jetdirect card. I am not using samba print drivers, just passing it through raw to 192.168.21.50:raw1. Planning to let windows 98 clients use their own drivers. I couldn't get a job to print (from linux or windows). I ran out of time for today, picking up again on Monday. Any gotcha's I need to

this was previously posted only on samba-ntdom, but that was probably not the right list so i'm cross-posting to both samba and samba-ntdom. here's the problem: on NT4 w/ SP4 or SP5, self-extracting 16-bit install files work just fine in directories w/ Long File Names. on SAMBA 2.0.5a, i can get none of the aforementioned files to install from directories w/ Long File Names. a good
