I have a non-PS printer setup to print under linux using ghostscript as a filter. This printer has two paper trays, one has letter paper, the other tabloid size paper. If I print from a program that uses a PPD file to configure the printer, like StarOffice or The Gimp, I can select the paper size from a nifty list. If I select letter size, the printer print with paper from the letter tray. If

Hi: I am haviong problems with Landscape mode on our HP printers (many models). I am running 2.2.7a on two different servers. One is using the "old style" printing (using "printer driver file" parameter). The other is using the newer printing system. It is the same code on both. Both are Solaris systems. For the old one, the drivers are installed on the client, for the

Hi friends We want communciate our windows 2000 computers with samba. We want use samba as domain controller. Before we had NT computers. Now we want install windows 2000 computers.

hi list, We got the following problem: We try to use samba 2.2.5 as a printserver for windoze clients (samba 2.2.5 on RH linux 8 w/ CUPS 1.1.15). CUPS works w/o any problems, but when we try to generate the drivers for the windoze clients (by using cupsaddsmb), we get the following error: >> cli_pipe: return critical error.

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 have a bunch of Windows XP Pro machines, Samba 2.2.4, and several plotters on Jetdirect cards, and several printers on Netport 10/100 Muli-port network print servers. I have successfully configured Samba 2.2.4 to allow Windows XP to join the domain controlled by Samba and automaticaly create its own computer account on Samba. I would now like to setup Samba to share all the printers

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

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

<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

Hello all, Got SAMBA running on a linux 2.0.32 box, and all is well. Looked over the docs and set up my printer with the (what I think) are correct entries. Basically, what the default smb.conf has. Testparms says it o.k.! And I can print (lpr) locally. Windows sees both printcap entries (inkjet and psjet), but any attempt to pring to them errors out. I then added the print command =

Has the issue with the last ghostscript update been resolved? I temporarily added ghostcript to the excludes line in my yum.conf to prevent problems and haven't seen any more mention of it here. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

I have a Xerox Phaser 3250 printer It worked perfectly under Centos 6 when I told cups that it was a Xerox Phaser 3150. It works under Centos 7, too. I can print pdf files from evince and whatnot with no problems, and printing one, two or three copies of a document from libreoffice works as well. However, if I tell libreoffice to print four copies of a document ("number of copies"

Eric, I started as you instructed and when I get to this command, ./bin/update-packageinfo 2.2.6pre 20020730 I receive the error: no such file or directory next I changed to the RedHat dir. and executed sh makerpms.sh...this appeared to work fine. i could not execute rpm -Uvh samba-2.2.6pre-20020730.i386.rpm what I did execute is: rpm -Uvh samba-2.2.5-1i386.rpm and received the

Hi, Is it possible to set up a printer in samba that will use ps2pdf converter to create pdf documents when printing on it ? Best Regards Steph

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

For some reason, our HP8150DN printers hang with this error and require power-cycling after a user tries to print any job from Windows2000 or NT (including a test page). The Samba server is running 2.2.5 on a Solaris 2.6 box using Sun's printing system. It forwards all jobs to another Solaris machine that runs LPRng-3.8.2 and ifhp-3.5.1. I am able to install and use all of our printers

After much head scratching and throwing most of a ream of paper into the trash, I just found and solved the problem. Thinking that perhaps I have a cable issue, I was re-seating the usb cable that connects my Xerox Phaser 3250 printer to the computer and realized that the printer was plugged into a USB 3.0 port on my computer. When I moved it to a USB 2.0 port, the printer immediately started

Hi @all, I have 2 questions about printer driver installation on w2k-client for a samba served printer: 1. If I want to install a driver on w2k workstation, I choose network printer and then can browse the network. If printers are served from a Nt/w2k-server, in my opinion it is not nessesary to double click the netbios name of the Nt/w2k-server to see the shared printers. In this case under
