similar to: Using rpcclient to install printer drivers

Hi Jerry Carter and list members, The post below was rejected by the list moderator as too big. That cost me four days and now I am really anxious for positive feedback from rpcclient experts either in the field or at samba.org. It was too big because I included a listing of STDERR and STDOUT from setting debug level to 10 in step #4 of install_printer_drivers.pl. I have trimmed it down by

Hi all, This is a re-post of a question I originally submitted 10/22. There have been no responses, so I am trying again as this problem has us stalled in our tracks re managing printer drivers with rpcclient. >>I am getting a fatal Signal 11 event when I use >>install_printer_drivers.pl on AIX 4.3.3 with Samba 2.2.1a so I would like >>to bring you up to date on my

Hi all, i'm new to the list and here's my first question : I'm trying to install several printer drivers on my samba server with imprints. I did a package with the NT/2000 and W9x drivers and the mkprintpkg command. Then I used the command install_printer_drivers.pl to install the files in the appropriate directories. So now i'd like to check the drivers available and the

Hello - I've been working on getting ready to cut our 60+ Samba servers over from the old style printers.def approach to the new printer drivers databases. However, I'm have a hard time uploading the packages onto the server using the install_printer_drivers.pl script from Imprints 0.0.9b. To make sure I wasn't packaging them wrong I used the imprints.sourceforge.org server to get

Hi, I have a samba 2.2.2 on HP-UX 11, serving a few printers. When I install a new driver via win2000' printer properties dialogue it works fine. When I try to do the same from unix with the imprints package, ist screwed. The driver files get uploaded, but they don't register as an installed driver, with rpcclient 'enumdrivers' I don't 'see' them. When I set the

I began playing around with 2.2.0a2 yesterday. The text docs have instructions for setting up the "print$" share and installing drivers for client download. This involves browsing to the samba share from a W2K or NT server, accessing the "printers" folder, and right clicking on each printer to install drivers. I've managed to get W2K/NT and Win98/95 drivers

Hello all! Samba works fine. GREATE WORK OF SAMBA TEAM!!!

I am trying to associate a driver that i installed with mkprintpkg and install_printer_drivers.pl with the printer that its supposed to go with. this is a log of what is happening: nendral:~ # rpcclient nendral -U root -W xxxx Enter Password: session setup ok Domain=[xxxx] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.4] rpcclient $> enumdrivers [Windows NT x86] Printer Driver Info 1: Driver Name:

Hello, Adding to my previous msg, debug level 7 finally gave me some output. In my smbd.log i am seeing the following whenever i try to upload printer drivers: getpeername failed. error was transport endpoint is not connected I've looked in to other methods of doing this, imprints doesn't seem to be supported, cupsaddsmb won't work with vendor supplied drivers, and to date i

Hi, I'm trying to set up a samba-cups-pdf-printserver. samba itself is running fine, but when i try to add the cups printer-drivers for windows i got the following error: System: Debian/sarge with 2.4.20 i686 GNU/Linux samba 3.0.2-2 cupsys 1.1.20final-13 Windows-driver from cups-samba-5.0rc1.tar ssflx01_v2:~# cupsaddsmb -a -v -U uuuu Password for uuuu required to access

Hi All. Can anyone give me a hand here? I'm trying to remove some printer drivers from my samba server running on FreeBSD 4.6 using rpcclient.

Hi, i want to install the Adobe-PS Drivers into samba, so that the Clients can download them. I first had Samba 2.2.3 from debian woody, where the cupsaddsmb program did'nt work at all. I the upgraded to samba 2.2.7 and tried to install all the drivers by hand using rpcclient. Now I've got 2 problems: First one is that I cannot deinstall the various drivers from the servers list. When

Jeremy, Will there be any methodology available in 2.2 for installing print drivers without browsing to the PRINT$ share from a W2K/NT box? I've got about 180 printers (at least 30 different models) shared and I'm encountering some difficulties in installing drivers. I'm using 2.2a2 in an environment with both W2K and W98 clients. One very annoying inconsistency with W2K is making my

Hi, I'm trying to get Samba to offer the Adobe driver automatically for the two printers I have set up with CUPS. I have all of the necessary files plucked out of the Adobe Postscript Windows driver package, but I'm hitting the problem when I come to run "cupsaddsmb -v ..." that the "rpcclient adddrivers" command always fails with NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL. The drivers

I installed samba 2.2.8a and imprints 0.0.9b on a freshly up2date Redhat 8.0. I tried to install a driver using: install_printer_drivers.pl -host imprints.sourceforge.net 'HP LaserJet 8100' The driver files were copied into the /etc/printers/W32X86. But samba created another directory, /etc/printers/W32X86/2 with uid and gid of nobody,nobody. It then reported an "ERROR!" and

I can't seem to get the rpcclient-addprinter to work - grrrrrr It looks like the drivers files are copied correctly and the NT drivers are added correctly but the addprinter command says it's unsuccessful! rpcclient localhost -N -U JOHNSON\\root -c 'enumprinters' shows the printer!! What's going on? I've tried removing /var/cache/samba/ntdrivers.tdb

I am running samba 2.2.5 on a Redhat Linux 7.3 box in a very large Windows NT domain, and I am running into a few different issues that make no sense to me. 1) For some reason my local clients can only get to the server by using it's fully qualified domain name. If you use the short name you receive a message about not being permitted to connect from the current workstation ( or something
