similar to: 'automatic' Printer driver installation...

Hallo! I am running samba-3.0.10-1.4E.11 on centOS. I want to enable the automatic printer download feature, but are running into problems. I have tried to work it out from samba by example, but since the automatic driver download is bundeled togehter with ldap (which I am not using), this does not get me anywhere. Can anyone direct me to a good howto on this - one that will make things work! I

Hi all, Samba 4.3.11 is serving printers in my office from a server called "printserver". If a Windows 7 client tries to reach it using a short name \\prinserver , it can see the list of printers, but can't connect to any of them: "Windows couldn't connect to the printer" pop-up appears immediately. Weirdly, it doesn't happen all the times, sometimes it can

Hi everyone, I've had automatic printer driver installation running fairly nicely for a while now, but getting the drivers for your newest printer to automatically install completely is a pain in the neck. Basically, everything works except for adding a new section to win.ini, and a registry entry for the printer. All the driver files get copied over, and the printer appears as one would

Hi I have two different distributions running, RedHat 6.0 and Slackware 7.0. Both machines are running Samba 2.05a. When I try the smbmount command on the RedHat machine, it has no problem mounting the smb service. RedHat 6.0: works: smbmount //win95machine/c /mnt/c failed: smbmount "\\win95\c" -c `mount /mnt/c -u 123 -g 456` Slacware 7.0: failed: smbmount //win95machine/c /mnt/c

Hi, I'm trying to upload printer drivers to my jessie samba 4.1.17 print server, but I'm getting: "Failed to add driver. Access denied", and I don't understand why. The domain join is OK (verified with net ads testjoin) and on the DC I have given the SePrintOperatorPrivilege to the Domain Admins group, of which I am a member: root at DC2:~# net rpc rights list

Hi List. We have an Redhat 8.0 machine who acts as an printserver. I'm sharing printers via Samba and using CUPS. Samba is 2.2.7a and CUPS 1.1.8. The Microsoft clients (Win9x, Win NT, Win 2k) is downloading the driver from the server. I had no problem to install and upload up to 55 printers but now I am not able to set the driver. I can install more printers, but when cupsaddsmb is running

Greetings Samba Fans! I'm experiencing a strange problem which started after installation of Service Pack 2 for Windows XP: When a user tries to print there is a long delay (sometimes around 2 minutes) before the printer properties page is opened. This only affects Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed. I did a 'tcpdump' on the printserver and observed something quite strange:

Hi, This is my first shot at getting Samba to work for us. I have successfully setup SMB (Samba) on my Linux (RedHat6.0) in a network. I can see the linux machine from the NT4 workstation's Network Neighbourhood, and provided I give a correct password I can browse the linux / (root) tree, as I have configured it in /etc/smb.conf and all is well. But I have also setup a SMB printer on the

Hello! Is it possible to make printer queues accessable from Windows clients? That is, I've got a printer that is printed on via a Linux server running Samba, but print jobs never show up on the client-side (as far as Windows is concerned, the queue is empty). It would be nice, albeight not vital, if this worked... Thanks! -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0x5584BD98 or 'Peter Schuller

Hi all, I have a similar problem as Patrik yesterday. So I can copy some lines, but not all. We have an SuSE 8.1 machine who acts as an printserver. I'm sharing printers via Samba and using CUPS. Samba is 2.2.7a and CUPS 1.1.8. The Microsoft clients (Win9x, Win NT, Win 2k) is downloading the driver from the server. I had no problem to install and upload up to 2 printers but now I am not

Hi, we have a new printer here (OKI C5650). It's a GDI printer attached to our cups server. I installed the windows driver as root on the print share without any problems. However it's not working. When a user maps the printer only a message appears "printing not possible". So I looked at the printserver and compared everything with a local printer on my XP notebook and found

I am Running a printserver using SLES9 SP3 with Samba 3.0.20b and cups 1.1.20 Since the update to Samba 3.0.20 every start of a client program tells me WARNING: The "printer admin" option is deprecated Ok, I understood I should use net rpc rights grant "<User or Group>" SePrintOperatorPrivilege -U .. But I haven't any adminuser to grant this rights. In my

Hi, Our Samba/CUPS based printserver loses the info of which driver belongs to a certain printer. The server is running Samba 3.2.7 on Solaris 9. Out of the blue, users complain they cannot print. Looking at 'printers and faxes' from a Windows machine shows no info in the 'Model' field. In normal situations this field lists the driver/model name. Weird thing is: nobody is

On Win9x I issue the command: nbtstat -a <netbios name> If <netbios name> is a Win9x machine I got the MAC address of that machine on the last line of the command output. If it's a samba server the MAC address is not returned: MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00 Is there anyone who gest the MAC address back from a samba server? -- giulioo@tiscalinet.it

[Note: This has been posted to linux-kernel and was ignored. Since smbfs is maintained by the samba team, I am retrying here] Hi! To maintain and install packages from CD-ROM to my Debian/GNU Linux system, I use Debian's apt package. Since my Linux box is stowed away in a closet, I use an smbfs mount to mount the CD-ROM drive from my Windows desktop machine to the Linux box. This used to

I have picked up the HP LaserJet 1022n on eBay. It is black and white only, but works well with Linux and all versions of Windows I have available. They are generally inexpensive on eBay and the tone is cheap. I can get 4 toner cartridges for around $25 on eBay. It is small, dependable, and makes a good second printer. Most printing is usually black and white. I actually have 3 of them

Hello, I'm using samba2.02 and shadowed passwords. I' m on the way to migrate from plaintext to encrypted passwords. Therefore I've set the parameter update encrypted to "Yes". After everyone has logged in I will set this parameter to "No" again and set encrypted passwd = Yes. So far, so good. But three questions are remaining for me: a) what to do with those who

I have added an HP Deskjet 600 to my debian etch system, using CUPS. It is working fine. I would like to set it up so that I can occassionally print to it from a Windows 9x machine. This is where I seem to be having trouble. I consulted the HOW-TO docs on the samba site, but they are quite detailed and confusing (for me). I don't want to do anything that will cause the printer to work

We upgraded from 2.2.3a to 2.2.4 on a SuSE 7.2 server. We compiled Samba just default. The new version seems to work ok with the exception of printer administration. Printer admins are not able to see the properties of the printers (right click on printer gives on error). Our workstations are W2k SP2. But users that are not printer admin are able to see the properties of a printer, but they
