similar to: smbprint strange problems

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

Hi, Maybe someone can help me. I am running FreeBSD 3.2 with Samba 2.0.4b and NT Server 4.0 with SP3 and I added the BSD machine to its server list. My printer is setup on my NT for print sharing. Well if I connect to the share name of the printer via smbclient ( ./smbclient \\\\ESAU\\EPSON -U login%password) I am able to successfully access it and even print. However, when I use the

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 seem to have some issues coming to terms with the new smbprint configuration. Not that it is all that new, but I have worked on a ton of AIX Samba systems that are runing 1.9.x and the smbprint worked great in all aspects. The box's couldn't be upgraded (or so said the company that did application builds related to Samba). The printers were and are hosted from windows95 workstations

Dear Samba Team, the smbprint script as provided with Suse7.2 for Samba Version 2.2.0 did not work. The problem was that the file to be printed was not transfered via stdin after the print - command. I changed the smbprint script to pass the commands via the -c option. My changes and comments are marked with MR27092001MR in the smbprint attached. I did not find this in the lists, so I hope this

Dear Sir/Madam, I've downloaded the samba 2.2.2 for solaris, and use pkgadd install it, but I can't find smbprint or smbprint.sysv script in this package. could you help me? thanks and regards, David -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

Dear users Thanks for reading this. Hope you will help me. I am using samba 1.9.17p2 on SunSparc-20 running solaris2.5.1 for printing and file sharing with PC-network. File sharing is working fine but I want to print to a WfWg printer from Solaris. So I have used your script smbprint.sysv and try to print. But I am facing following problems: 1-

Hello there, I've produced a modified version of the smbprint script that comes with the samba source. The script is aimed to retry sending the print job if the windows machine is switched off at the time of printing (samba seems to just drop the print job after a period of time if the machine is off). This script will mail you to tell you the machine isn't turned on yet and if you

Hello to all. I have installed Samba-1.9.18p4 in a BSDI 2.1, operates enough well but have problems when trying to print in any printer connected to a PC with Win95 or WinNT. :-( Before Actualizar Samba-1.9.17 all worked well, there was config the printers as it indicate the file smbprint and could print perfectly in my Epson printer connected a Win95 and the Okidata printer connected WinNT.

I have been using the "username map" parameter for some time on various versions of Samba 2, and it has worked nicely. Last week I upgraded to Samba 3 and integrated with Active Directory. Since I am using Solaris 8, and "nsswitch.conf" doesn't support winbindd, I am using the "add user script" parameter to add users. What is happening is that users in

I work in a lab were the only "printer" we have is an HP 3100 (printer/fax/scanner) item. This printer is hung off a Windows98 box and I want to be able to print to it from my linux box using smbprint. I can connect to the share that represents this printer: smbclient \\\\server\\printer "" -N and I get the SMB> prompt which (I think) is pretty useless for printers.

Hi, Does anyone happen to know a good document about SMBPRINT.SYSV ? I am trying to make my SGi IRIX 6.2 print to a PC Printer via SMB, unsucessfully. I followed the smbprint and lp (sysv) docs in Samba 2.0.7 but, I guess, something is missing, I can not print to that remote printer. I think I do not need a printcap file since it is using lp. But nothing happens and I get e-mail from spooler:

While trying to configure my *nix box to print to windows, I discovered my samba build does not have the smbprint utility. I saw no option in the configure/make script to build with the smprint utility. Is there an option that will build this tool? Thanks!

Hi all! At my university, we use for compatibility reasons a windows shared printer running samba server. The main thing is that I can't get smbprint to send pages to the printer. And, more amazing, I get this message: "Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...ERROR: Connection failed with error NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD" only when I give the GOOD password! :-/

Hi, just got an Epson Perfection 1260 scanner which is supported according to sane, but decides not to scan, even though the lamp is switched on and the stepper motor makes one step, if scanimage is started. sane-find-scanner says: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x011d) at /dev/uscanner0 scanimage -L says: device `plustek:/dev/uscanner0' is a Epson Perfection 1260/Photo USB

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
