I seem to have some issues coming to terms with the new smbprint configuration. Not that it is all that new, but I have worked on a ton of AIX Samba systems that are runing 1.9.x and the smbprint worked great in all aspects. The box's couldn't be upgraded (or so said the company that did application builds related to Samba). The printers were and are hosted from windows95 workstations

Dear Samba Team, the smbprint script as provided with Suse7.2 for Samba Version 2.2.0 did not work. The problem was that the file to be printed was not transfered via stdin after the print - command. I changed the smbprint script to pass the commands via the -c option. My changes and comments are marked with MR27092001MR in the smbprint attached. I did not find this in the lists, so I hope this

Hello. I have been trying to print to a windows printer share with no success. So far I have found out that the smbprint does not execute. I verified this by looking at the logfile=/tmp/smb-print.log (from smbprint script) after printing from windows - this logfile was not created. Also, i verified the path of smbclient and it points to the proper directory. I am using Debian , and samba

Hello people, ok just a small problem I have with my samba settings. I have a RH 6.0 file/printer server that is connected to some Windoze 98 machines and a couple of Macs. The linux machine also has one printer on its local port lpt1. Ok...I have set up everything and currently I can print from the Windozes and the Mac to the printer that is localy connected on the Linux server. What I want

Previously I have a working print server using samba with below setting: [global] printcap name = cups printing = cups security = share [printers] browseable = yes printable = yes public = yes create mode = 0700 guest only = yes use client driver = yes guest account = smbprint path = /home/smbprint I could print both from linux and windows XP. But recently (Samba 3.0.22),

I am trying to allow printing from my linux box to my win98 box, to which my epson stylus printer is attached. It's just not happening...something tells me I'm flirting with a world of pain. I *can* print a file by going: smbclient //rory/EPSON translate print /etc/group but I cannot print from applications, nor can i use smbprint. I tried going: cat /etc/passwd | sh -x smbprint

Dear users Thanks for reading this. Hope you will help me. I am using samba 1.9.17p2 on SunSparc-20 running solaris2.5.1 for printing and file sharing with PC-network. File sharing is working fine but I want to print to a WfWg printer from Solaris. So I have used your script smbprint.sysv and try to print. But I am facing following problems: 1-

Hello there, I've produced a modified version of the smbprint script that comes with the samba source. The script is aimed to retry sending the print job if the windows machine is switched off at the time of printing (samba seems to just drop the print job after a period of time if the machine is off). This script will mail you to tell you the machine isn't turned on yet and if you

Last week I sent a question here about suppressing NT's banners, so that a LPR->SMB gateway running on Linux could provide its own banner pages. I got around that problem by having the NT guys create me a new queue, with headers suppressed, but found to my surprise that merely omitting "sh" in /etc/printcap did not cause Linux to print header sheets, when using RedHat's

Hello, Is it possible to set up a printer on a Sun Solaris (sparc 2.6) machine and have it properly print to an HP Laserjet printer without the use of jetdirect? I'm trying to print to an NT controlled printer using Samba on the Sun machine. I've been trying to utilize the "smbprint" command, however I'm having all kinds of problems. On the Sun machine, I add the printer

Well, I finally managed to setup samba printing... almost. smbprint seems well and good... if you have a postscript printer, which I don't. So, I just see stair-stepping, raw postscript on the win98 box printer I'm sending to. I've configured magicfilter to handle postscript with gs, but I'm having trouble integrating magicfilter with smbprint. I'm not much of an expert on

My apologies to any of you who waded through this posting on Usenet. I have tried to avoid cross-posting to the point of idiocy. :-) I am running SAS 6.12 on a Sun server under the current version of Solaris and Samba 1.9.18p10. I would like to set up printing such that I can use Samba to pass print jobs from SAS to a user's local (PC) printer. From my newsgroup searches, the basic setup

Hi all... First, thank you to Matt Chapman for pointing out why I could not connect to a non-domain participating machine. I needed to have a local account on that machine (it wasn't checking back with the domain controllers as I thought it would). I guess I'm going to have to start venturing out of the UNIX world and into the NT one. Scary :-) Either way, I now successfully am

Hi, Maybe someone can help me. I am running FreeBSD 3.2 with Samba 2.0.4b and NT Server 4.0 with SP3 and I added the BSD machine to its server list. My printer is setup on my NT for print sharing. Well if I connect to the share name of the printer via smbclient ( ./smbclient \\\\ESAU\\EPSON -U login%password) I am able to successfully access it and even print. However, when I use the

I work in a lab were the only "printer" we have is an HP 3100 (printer/fax/scanner) item. This printer is hung off a Windows98 box and I want to be able to print to it from my linux box using smbprint. I can connect to the share that represents this printer: smbclient \\\\server\\printer "" -N and I get the SMB> prompt which (I think) is pretty useless for printers.

Hi, Does anyone happen to know a good document about SMBPRINT.SYSV ? I am trying to make my SGi IRIX 6.2 print to a PC Printer via SMB, unsucessfully. I followed the smbprint and lp (sysv) docs in Samba 2.0.7 but, I guess, something is missing, I can not print to that remote printer. I think I do not need a printcap file since it is using lp. But nothing happens and I get e-mail from spooler:
