Hi Everyone, Just thought I'd pass this little snippette your way.

Hi! I have problem with finding my printerjobbs in sambas printer queue, I do se the jobb while it is in /var/spool/samba, but not when the job has been spooled to LPRngs spool. smb.conf [Global] printing = lprng lpq command = /usr/server/LPRng-3.8.21/bin/lpq -P%p print command = /usr/server/LPRng-3.8.21/bin/lpr -b -P%p <%s ;rm %s The printing job shows up in the LPRng queue e.i.

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 you all, I had this problem for a long time and with different versions of SAMBA and LPRng: using '/usr/spool/lp/bin/lpr -r -Fl -m%m -J"%J" -U%U -P%p %s' as 'print command' results in two jobs in the queue window on the NT box, though there is only one job in the unix queue. using '/usr/spool/lp/bin/lpr -r -Fl -m%m -U%U -P%p %s' works fine, but delete

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

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,

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

It's not only the name, I just found out... I have an OfficeJet 570, and the following entry in my smb.conf would result in a persistent Paused status: [HP570] comment = OfficeJet 570 by HP450C Plotter path = /var/spool/samba/hp570 writeable = no printable = yes printer name = hp570 use client driver = no Changing the comment to "HP570

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 all, Have got Winbind working again successfully on another box, but this time the printer won't work, it worked fine last time. The printer installs fine, and it lets me print to it, but nothing comes out on the printer, no sign of anything being sent to it. I think it's a permissions problem or something...but I've not much clue when it comes to printing on *nix how it actually

Here is a an encapsulated postscript file and some raw, generic postscript commands to precede and follow the EPS file which puts a message on the page. I have tried this out on two postscript files and it works. NOW, you will have to generate this file for each print job with the appropriate parameters, including, I suppose, the right bounding box, the right location of the text, maybe change

Here is my smb.conf. Maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

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

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. ======================================================================

Hi. I have a debian wheezy with samba 3.6.6-6. Before updating to wheezy I had samba configured with LPRNG printing. Now I can't use the printers, it looks like samba is trying to connect to cups even it is configured with another printing system. This is the error spotted when I try to install the printer in a Windows 7 PC. Windows XP works fine.

I've set up Samba and LPRng for HP printers with JetDirect cards. It works for one user at a time. But if the printer is off-line or busy, the samba client does not get an error message, but the job gets lost. :( I would like the print jobs to be spooled on Linux even when there is an active print job or when the printer is off-line. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with lpd. The
