Hallo! I found a quite usefull hint about email-notification using samba by simply writing a Mailslot-message-command into the users .forward-file. That is quite nice, but there is a small problem: While the username is still the same, so does not the computername. People can log on every computer in a network, so the computername varies. I am looking for a method to run a script - on the server

Hallo! I have a small question. I wanted to improve Samba-faxing. The system shown in the HOWTO does not include the nice features a faxing-program like Winfax offer. Chain-fax, adressbook and much more. So I began to write a series of scripts to manipulate the incoming fax to send. The text should have all the command on the 1st page. My scripts split the text in two parts: 1st page and pages

Hallo! I have a small problem. As I installed a Samba-server at one of our customers (office of foreign affairs, AKA consulate), Win98r2 does not want to shut down, the system hangs. It looks like if Windows "forgets" to disconnect the services before shutdown (at least the system hangs - over night (!!) and according to logfiles the workstation has not made any disconnect). As I

Hallo! I have reinstalled the server, specially the Samba PDC. I copied all the data back and the system seemed to work. People were able to log on and had the drives mapped. Now, at the day "0" after reinstall, the users cannot work. The user's settings on the "Windows 2k Professional" machines are not adopted. They all have their desktops and own documents, but the

Hallo! I installed dovecot at a customers and it is not working.

I am having problems getting Samba configured so I can print. I am going from Windows XP to Samba. I don't get any error messages in Windows saying that there is a problem. It sends the document then that is it. It is like the document gets lost. I am able to print through Linux and WebMin. What should I look at next? I am using the latest version of Caldera OpenServer. I believe the version

I'm trying to setup a print server for Samba clients to use. I have a HP LaserJet 4 connected to /dev/lp0 and I'm using the LPRng spooling package. Documents printed from Windows clients make it to the printer. However the printed documents, mostly Excel/Word documents, have various abberations on them. Graphical flaws, the text seems fine. In addition I seem to get 2 copies for some

Hi again Thank you all for helping me out, really appreciate it. Works like a charm now, I added [global] printing = cups printcap name = lpstat load printers = yes and in [printers]-section: [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes

I am having problems printing to a Samba printer from my Windows 2000 machines. While eventually it does print, it takes an extremely long time. The test page takes over 5 minutes to print. I have tracked it to the Samba spooling process. The delay is in Windows sending the information to the Samba spool. If I look in the Samba spool directory during the print process, the file size increases very

All, Hey hey, am new so if this is way basic, flame on. ;-) I have a Dell Poweredge 2300 running RedHat 6.0 and whatever versions of samba and such that are part of that distribution. Samb 'works' from the standpoint of file sharing and printing in a sense. The issue is that the printer is an HP Laserjet 4 connected via an external HP Jetdirect box running IP. The only connection to

I am logged on as a domain admin and printer admin. I have created and assigned the correct rights to /srv/printers and have created W32X86 and WIN40 subdirectories. I was able to go into server properties and upload all the necessary drivers. When I right click on the printer and say "No." to "Printer driver not installed, do you want to install the driver now?" the drivers

I'm trying to print to a shared printer on my Windows 98 SE box from my linux box. I've configured it via Webmin and I can mount my home directory on linux from Windows (using samba) and vice versa... But I can't seem to configure printing properly... I've got a Canon BJC-1000 on my Windows box and Webmin seems to think it SHOULD be printable.... *sigh* I've tried all three

Ok.. Just a little follow-up on my Solaris printing problem that I was having! As it turns out, I put the fully-qualified path names to the print commands (lpr/lpq/lprm, etc) in the samba config file (smb.conf) and all of my printing problems have disappeared! Now, after a clean reboot of the OS (Solaris, not PC), I can log on to Samba and directly print -- instead of it silently failing!

I have Samba 2.2.7 running on Redhat 8 (fully updated). I have two printers set up - a laser and a Deskjet 920C both connected to the Redhat server via USB cables. Printing is managed using CUPS although I get the same problem with LPR and Webmin configured printers. The laser works fine, the deskjet doesn't. The deskjet works with a generic windows HP Deskjet or HP Deskjet plus driver in

Hello! We're using samba to manage our HP LaserJet 8000, which is a very fast and high capable printer. So we need the best performance, when we printing. The problem is when samba receive a file for printing it's copying the file to a tmp directory, and after that the lpr is copying this file out to its own spool directory. For example, where a 300M printing job is arriving from a

Hi All, I have gained my basic Linux / Samba knowledge from using SME server (www.contribs.org) More recently I have started to use Trustix Linux to build servers for specific things for example as a print server. I installed Trustix and the most recent Cups/Samba rpm's from the repository (I am pretty sure they are the latest stable releases) but I can check version numbers if this helps.

I'm using Samba 2.2.3 (Debian-testing) and CUPS 1.1.15 with a HP-Deskjet950c Printing from all Linux-Clients works fine. I also can print any document from the Windows-Boxes ( XP & 2k ). The Problem is : If I want to make more copys than one I still get one paper printed out! This problem only appears when printing from Windows to the Samba-Share. I also tested lpr/lpd printer spooling
