How do i unsubscribe??

I have Samba 2.2.3a installed and running successfully on Solaris 8 in a test environment. I manually enter printer shares into the smb.conf file, and then I can upload printer drivers to the Samba server from a Windows session without problems. When I try to print to a print queue on this server from a Windows 2000 SP2 machine, the application I am printing from hangs, the CPU usage of the smbd

Hi, I've been using Samba 2.0.5 successfully for a long time and am now trying to configure 2.2.3a under Debian GNU/Linux 3.0. I've succeeded with the exception of one printer share. What makes this frustrating is that the share is mostly functional, but I haven't been able to find my problem described anywhere else. We have two HP printers, a LaserJet 4000N and a LaserJet 5N,

Hi, I've recently installed LPRng 3.6.22, ifhp 3.3.19, and Samba 2.0.7 on my FreeBSD 4.1 system. Printing works fine from the FreeBSD machine, and I am able to access shares via my Win2000 machine. I've configured a [printers] section in smb.conf, and I am able to see the LaserJet 2100 when browsing, but on installing it I am unable to print to it. I get en error connecting the printer

Hi I updated samba today to 3.0.5. Printing stopped working. The log says: [2004/08/02 14:28:57, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_printer_fn(108) Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost - Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt I'm using lprng not cups. Is samba ignoring printing = lprng? I tested lpr it still works as usual. Is there anything else I should check? Thanks. Best, Hans

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. I set it up just like before but any print job from Windows takes its while and then spits out junk: -------------------------- ERROR: timeout

I know this question has been answered here a while back, but I have not been able to find the mailing with the posts on it. -----==========----- I have a redhat server that I am using as a file/print server for student use. I am using samba to help the users with Windows. The problem I have is that when using printing a user can submit a print job, and it prints fine, but cannot see the

I've also posted this message to the lprng list, but as I'm currently not sure where the problem lies, I'm posting it here too in the hope that someone has a clue..... I have recently installed a printer accounting system on my systems, and changed the print model for some of my users. In most cases, this has been fine, but users who are using HP Laserjet 4 printers are experiencing

Is there a way in samba to create a printer pool like you can do with NT? I have two HP Network Printers (4000N) which I can setup and print to from Win95, no problem. But I want to make the most "efficient" use of the printers, as they are in a lab, sitting right next to each other... Thanks... === Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Tim

I am currently using samba to try and replace a windows NT box as the default print server. All is working well except for one printer driver. All drivers were installed from a win2k machine onto the samba print$ share. The problem that I'm having is with a driver for the HP laser jet 4000N printer. The PCL driver works and loads quickly. The PCL 6 driver works, but the properties

Hi, I have 3 HP network printer with internal jetdirect board. One 4000N, one 4050N and one 4200N. All are share on my PDC Samba server which is under Linux Debian stable Woody (v3.0rX) : Samba v2.2.3a-13. I have a little question that I cant' answer my self : Can it be a problem if all of these printer have [Samba Printer Port] as their 'portname' ? (or 'portname' must be

I'm using samba and cups to allow NT/2k machines to print to an HP LaserJet 4000N printer. The printer works fine except for one in house program. In this one program, all the horizontal lines that should be printed are missing. Originally I thought this was a driver problem, but today, for no apparent reason, it started printing the horizontal lines... but only for the first page of each

I have got the printing working with CUPS finally on all of my printer. Took a while but they are printing with no errors. What they are not doing is feeding back the print status, and not all of them are consistent. I have a HP2000C that gives me a failed to open retrying error in the W2k printers window. I have a minolta d350 that always comes back blank, even though there are maybe 50 jobs

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,

Is there a way foe me to get the print job name to be something other than "remote downlevel job"? All my jobs are now printing flawless except for this. I would like to be able to get a file name or program at least. Thanks Tony McGrew www.multicam.com

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

I have done one succesful driver for downloading to my windows 2000-client. When i try set another with "setdriver " I get a result as : SetPrinter call failed! The only differens between them is in the desritption-field flags:[0x800000] name:[\\localhost\HP4600] description:[\\localhost\HP4600,HP4600,H4600] comment:[H4600] flags:[0x800000]

Hello All, AIX 4.3.3 / Samba 2.0.6 Have had no problems in months accessing shares / using SAMBA. This morning users called to say that they cannot connect. Stopped and restarted the NMBD and SMBD services. smbstatus shows no issues. Log files show users attempting to connect but no errors as to why they get the message "\\<server_name> is not accessible The session was

<It seems that the print command is trying to find the printer at location 'localhost'. Since this is a network printer it is not at localhost is it?> Yeah, the error messages made no sense to me either! Well, like I said earlier: < The IP address of this printer is 10.1.1.192. I call this printer nero, and have it listed in my /etc/hosts file> Here is a copy of part of my
