similar to: smbd & LPRng

Hi, I've recently set up LPRng on my system in preparation for moving my organisation to a Samba/Linux based printing solution. I have a test printer properly set up, and issuing lpr commands from the command line works fine. I also have Samba set up with domain security and all the file sharing is also working OK. Whenever I try to print a test page to my Samba shared printer, I get the

I cannot get smbclient or smbmount to work from linux -> linux. I'm running 2.05a on Red Hat 6.x servers. I can use NT shares from linux. I can use samba shares from NT & 95. Is there some trick to getting this to work between linux machines?

This is the list of problems I had with samba-2.0.6 so far. Can anyone tell me if he can reproduce them and if he considers them as problems? 2.0.6 on linux 2.2.13 or 2.0.33 1) sighup/log reopening doesn't always work: connections that are already active keep logging to the old logs; logrotate rotates/zip the logs and samba stops logging completely till restart. 2) Localized chars. I have

Hi All I know this is not a LPRng list but I'm trying to build the latest SRPM from http://lprng.sourceforge.net/DISTRIB/LPRng/LPRng-3.8.27-1.src.rpm so that I may use it on my CentOS 5 box, but it fails with the following errors <snip> + make MAKEPACKAGE=YES if [ "UTILS" = po ] ; then \ for i in po/Makefile* ; do \ if [ -f "$i" ] ;

I have the default installation of samba (2.0.5) that came with Caldera OL 2.3, but it doesn't seem to be starting up properly, nor is SWAT working. When I run the script 'samba start', I get the message "Starting samba: smbd nmbd", but when I check the running processes, only nmbd shows up. Running smbstatus gives me the message "Couldn't open status file

First of all, thanks to everyone who has helped me out so far resolving my samba problems! The latest has to do with LPRng and directory permissions. LPRng requires 0600 permissions on the spool directory, owner daemon group daemon. Whenever a user tries to print through SAMBA, they do not have write access to the spool directory, as teh job comes in user/group of the person who printed. Any

Hi, I am running samba and lprng for 4 hp laserjets. Sometimes a samba print job goes to the wrong printer. Normally everything works just fine. Shown below is the lprng acct log file enries for the concerned print job. Please notice that the print job was supposed to go to hp4050-mail, but ended up in hp8100. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks Balagopal jobstart

I'm looking for a little help with Samba and LPRng, however, the LPRng portion of it isn't really all that important -- I believe this is mainly a Samba issue. The problem here is that we have 4 campus servers. Each one hosts a Samba domain. Sometimes, users for whatever reason will go to a different campus (where they may or may not have an account -- the problem occurs when they do

I'm converting my NT 4.0 Print Servers to Samba Print Servers. Which printing system should I be using? LPR, LPRng or CUPS. I would love to have some feedback on the advantages and disadvantages or what the Samba Team recommends as a standard for working wih Samba. In case you need it, my system is SuSE 7 kernel 2.2.16 running under VM on s/390. Thanks, Josh Konkol, CNE MCSE Senior

Hi, Probably this problem is known and has already been discussed in this group, but I did not find any hints in the archive nor in the package description. On a PII/400/256MB RAM I am running SuSE 5.3 with smbd 2.0.2. Unfortunately, sometimes the WinNT client seems to loose its connection which crashes a WinNT application (SolidWorks) if the latter wants to save a project. (This happened 8

I recently set up samba-2.2.3a on FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE. I'm having troubles getting printing to work. I have LPRng-3.76 installed, and it works just fine using the command line tools. When I print from a windows client over smb, however, I can see the job go into the spool directory, but then it magically vanishes, with nothing in any log files. Has anyone experienced this type of strange

We are running Samba 2.0.5a on an AIX 4.2.1 box, and since we upgraded from 1.9.18, a Windows 95 client reports intermittent problems (timeouts) when saving small files.

Has anybody ever used Samba with LPRng? I would like to write a wrapper for "lpq -l" which Samba will use to pass information back to Windows 95 and Windows NT clients. The information is all there, but it's obviously different from the standard BSD lpq. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike. ======================================================================

The 2.04b rpm for rh60 ships with and installs a config file for logrotate (the samba.log file in the packaging/RedHat section). ===== /var/log/samba/log.nmb { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP nmbd endrotate } /var/log/samba/log.smb { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP smbd endrotate } ===== 1) I think that the use of "endrotate" is wrong. There is no

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

what is the format of this file? what is the best way to access it w/o the smbstatus program? IE: with perl -sv

Hi all, I would like to be able to pause a printer shared via Samba from Windows 95/NT workstation. Can it be done? Thanks, Walter Dorciak.

Could I get some opinions on which type of Samba based printing is easier, CUPS or LPRNG, or just bybass Samba altogether. I'm looking at the Printing HOWTO by Kurt Pfeifle (Printing Support in Samba 3.0) and both look really complex. Anyone out there have any experience with printing services in Samba? Should I just stay away from samba printing and go direct to Network printers? What
