similar to: NT and Linux printer sharing

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......

I can't seem to find an answer or a workaround, and I've received stoney silence on this one. There aren't any answers in the archives (well, I didn't find any in the hours on several days I spent, anyhow). I'm convinced that I can't be the *only* one with this problem, nor am I convinced that there is absolutely no one who can help. Please feel free to jump in with

I have an Epson Stylus Color 880, connected to our network via an external ethernet printserver. I used to run lprng on the samba server (which is a domain controller), and the Windows clients had one minor problem accessing this printer via Samba (2.2.3a, then): Every time a client wanted to print, the Epson status monitor on the client would complain about communication problems with the

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

I'm running samba 2.2.3a-6 under Debian (testing) and I am having a heck of a time getting Windows 2000 to print to my printer. I keep getting that "Access denied, unable to connect" message. At one point I had it so you could print test pages, but as soon as you tried to print from an application, it would break. However, that doesn't even work anymore. I've been reading

well i've tried everything trying to get r/w access to my linux box (debian 2.2.3 running samba 2.0.7) from win2k. can only get readonly. i'm hoping some kind sould might be able to take a look at my samba config and let me know what i'm doing wrong... # Samba config file created using SWAT # from localhost (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2001/11/01 00:39:30 # Global parameters [global]

Greetings, I'm not on the list, so please CC me, thanks. :) Problem: printing a full-page graphic stops 3 inches into the print. System: FreeBSD 3.2 server running Samba 2.0.3 (version that is installed with the distribution) 486DX (4 or 8MB, I don't remember at the moment, I think 8.) 2 parallel ports Epson Color STYLUS 500 Epson Color STYLUS 800 Win95 client

Epson doesn't seem to have one; I see an rpm at openprinting.org, but that .rpm d/l I started around 11:30 my time, and the d/l slowed, and slowed, and it's been at 21% and "1 hr 17 min to go" for it seems like close to half an hour. I d/l a tar.bz2, but I'm not sure I want to build and install it - my use of this printer is temporary, and I want to be able to uninstall it

Anyone dealt with an Epson Stylus Photo 2200? Disconnected from my machine, it won't even print a self-test page.... mark

I'm thinking for replacing my current printer that I use with my POS systems (http://possolutions.multiply.com/). What do you think is the best brand out there? Thanks.

Hi all! Is it possible to use a usb printer from a DomU? I don''t get to see any device using both lscpi and lsusb. I''m using Xen 3.0.2-2. Thanks in advance.

G'day all I have a windows 2000 machine with a shared printer. Can any one recomend a good howto to set up samba to use that shared printer. Thanks

I'm hoping my desperate post yesterday just didn't make it across. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or just want to say "Hi"? Using... CUPS 1.1.13 Samba 2.2.1a Gimp-Print 4.2.0 on a RH 7.2 computer with a USB Epson Stylus Photo 420 printer hooked up to a Windows98 computer... I am unable to print properly... The output seems to be dying on its way to the Windows 98

For some reason, I cannot get samba (or Win98, depending on how you look at it...) to allow a win98 client to print. I search the list archives, but I didn't find anything similar. So here goes. Symptoms: - Win98 client can access fileshares OK. The printers show up OK as well in network neighbourhood. - On Linux, printing (lprng) works OK. - In win98, e.g. dir >

Hi, I trying to print a label printer that is attached to a windows95 machine. The job is sent to the printer queue on the linux machine (Red Hat 7.3), but never printed on the printer. When I check the status of the print queue on the linux machine, I get the following: [root@S12601 syn]# lpq -Pbinpos Printer: binpos@S12601 Queue: no printable jobs in queue Server: no server active Status:

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

I'm currently having a problem with the new released Samba 2.2.5: I cannot print anymore on my shared printer. What is strange is that It worked fine with samba 2.2.4, but now I got an access denied whenever I try to access the printer... /var/spool/lpd/samba is chmod 777 and the username is in the group lp Here is part of my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = HOME netbios name =

I am really quite puzzled as to why I have to edit smb.conf every time I want to print to the FreeBSD machine from Win2K. (Running FBSD 4.7, samba 2.2.7 and cups 1.1.15.1_4. When I log onto FBSD with username, password, I see the folders for the printers, home, tmp, etc. but no printer. (Only 1 installed - Epson Stylus Color 900). I can access the shares on FBSD from Win2k, but there is no

Good evening: I am running RedHat Linux 8.0 on a box that has my Epson Stylus Color 777 printer attached to it. The printer works fine from all applications on my Linux box using a driver I picked up from TurboPrint. I have downloaded and installed Samba 2.7.2 and am trying to print from a Windows 2000 box to this Linux machine. The problem is that when I print, the document seems to queue up
