similar to: Win98/HP Printer problem. Partially Solved.

I have had a RH5.2 server running Samba up for a long time. I upgraded to Mandrake 6.0. It broke Samba, so I reinstalled using the RPM on the CD. Samba works just fine, but SWAT will not! If I try to start it manually (/usr/sbin/swat) it just hangs. In /etc/services I have a line like this: swat 901/tcp In /etc/inetd.conf I have: swat stream tcp nowait.400 root

I'm having trouble printing to a HP LaserJet 6MP Postscript printer. I'm using CUPS and normal UNIX printing works fine. I've tried to configure SAMBA for point and click printing. That all seemed to go okay except that what is printed is: ===================================================== -12345X@PJL JOB @PJL SET RESOLUTION = 600 @PJL SET ECONOMODE = OFF @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE =

Hi folks: AIX Samba server: 4.3.3 Samba v: 2.2.1a Windows NT sp6a printer: various HP: 4500, 8150 I have set up the print queues the long way, by copying all the .dll's to unix, etc. All the config's look work, in fact I can print, but it print the 'control characters'. I actually see the: '@PJL .......' which I believe is the PCL control code. I could really use some

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.

Good afternoon, This is my first post, so please be gentle ;) Anyway, here's my question....I've recently put together a Linux Server for our company, replacing an old Novel server. I have the box set up with Samba, as a PDC on our network. So far, just about everything is working correctly. One issue I'm coming up against, though, is printing from DOS. I have Samba

Hey, I posted a few days ago about how the printer paper sizes are differ from the admin account when they are installed. People at my work are getting pissed at the moment and all they want to do is to be able to change the paper sizes themselves and not have it done at the server Is there a way to do it? I fluked it at one stage and had it working like that, I think I deleted the driver

Hello, I am having a problem when printing pdf files as viewed from firefox/acroread to a samba print share. When I print from firefox, I get PJL output. If I print the very same file directly from Acrobat, the file prints properly. Standard web pages print from firfox just fine. #Sample output -12345X@PJL COMMENT MS PCLXL NT DRIVER @PJl JOB NAME ... I can print from firefox/acroread

Hi, I have a bizarre printing problem, and i think i've narrowed it down to either samba, or the way windows packages the file to be printed. I've recently implemented a new server. Users print through the linux server from their windows desktop machines. OLD server: -samba 2.0.7, which uses lpd NEW server: -samba 2.2.3, which uses cups The old server can print to the printer (Savin

Hi, I have print$ setup and points to /var/lib/samba/printers. I have printer_admin and write_list access. /var/lib/samba/printers is setup with 755 for root:root. When I tried to add/upload new drivers to print$ in W2K I get access denied. Would someone please give me a few pointers please? Regards, Norman

We have a Kyocera FS-3750 printer here that works fine from Windoze (NT 4.0 and 98) clients if connected "directly" via the Windows "LPR" interface but which spews out pages of garbage if spooled through Samba 2.0.7 on a Solaris box. What happens is the printer for some reason thinks it is being sent text but the first few lines are really PJL commands : %-12345X@PJL JOB @PJL

The Adobe drivers (on request of the printer PPD associated with them) often put a PJL header in front of the main PostScript part of the print file. Thus, the printfile starts with <1B >%-12345X or <escape>%-12345X instead of %!PS). This leads to the CUPS daemon auto-typing the incoming file as a print-ready file, not initiating a pass through the pstops filter (to speak more

Hi all, I have a small network set up, on which I have 3 Linux-Mandrake Boxes and one Windows98 Machine. On each of the Linux boxes I have installed Samba 2.0.7, and everything so far has been a breeze and is working fine...... with one exception..... On the win98 machine, I have an Epson Stylus printer which I am trying to print to from the Linux boxes...... can I get it to work......

Hi, I created a PDFPrinter as per http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=105301236523413&w=2 I have another question, do I need to add a Color Laser Printer Driver in W2K to the PDF share to generate color PDF in Windows? Regards, Norman

Hi all, I've just install samba2.0.7 on server Tru64. We have one printer HP5Si and others HP4 on the network. Using Samba from our Win95 customer we can print correctly to HP4 but to our HP5si we have the file wanted and one blank page and one page indicated "@PJL RDYMSG DISPLAY=" " ". So we want to suppress these pages. Is there anyone who can help me ?

Howdy all - I have Samba 2.0.3 running like a champ on a dual PPro 200, 128 MB RAM, running Slackware 3.6, kernel 2.2.5. Running like a champ as far as file sharing is concerned, that is. I have an HP Deskjet 1000c hanging off the parallel port. I set up a raw printer in /etc/printcap, the line looks like this: dj1000|DeskJet 1000c:sh:lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/dj1000 the printing section

Hi folks - I'm having an issue here. I have my samba server sitting on one subnet, and the rest of the clients sitting on another (due to IP administration reasons). I assign both my clients and the server to the same workgroup, but the winboxen clients can't browse to the samba server. The win clients all have WINS resolution turned on, and I specified all of my WINS servers in

Everyone, I am looking for a utility that I can use to do a mail merge of data to a pdf image file. The image file does not have any active fields, but will be just an image file. I would like to overlay names addresses etc. We currently do this with a pcl file by just overlaying the data with pcl print positions. However, in order to get the pcl file from an original pdf file we have to

I'm trying to setup my public printers to do 4 pages per sheet, and am having nothing but problems making it work. The system is a Redhat 4.2 box running Samba 1.9.18p4, and the printers are postscript capable HP 4000 and 8000 machines. Using Redhat's printtool to set 4 page per sheet output works when printing via lpr, but as soon as I print from a Win95 box through samba, it's

Everyone, I am currently using a vsifax program (pcltotiff) to convert pcl files to tiff files on a SCO Unix box, and then I am using tiff2pdf on a Centos 5.9 box to convert the file to a pdf. There are other commands that deal with multiple page tiff's and pdf's that are part of the process, but the above basic process has worked very well. The only thing I would like to enhance is a
