similar to: Fwd: Re: Using rpcclient to install printer drivers

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

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

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

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:

Hi all, Samba 3.0.7 and using CUPS printing. I am logged in as root to an XP Pro system, I have used the APW to install the XP drivers to all of my printers. I went to Shared and clicked "Additional Drivers" and checkmarked both 9x and NT/2K boxes. Using drivers straight from the HP website, the 9x driver installs fine, but it seems like I can't get any NT/2K drivers to

Hi, I am using samba with NT 4.0 and Solaris. I got LPRng working with Samba. But, downloading of drivers from the server still deosn't work. Do I *need* to user rpcclient to install drivers on server ? I have already copied drivers to $print/W32X86 directory. I tried using rpcclient with adddriver command. But it gave following errors. rpcclient $> adddriver "Windows NT x86"

Jerry, Perhaps you could help me with a problem building a Samba print package. I've downloaded the drivers files I need from HP. I run the appropriate mkprintpkg.pl command, but it dies with the following output: [root@tux designjet]# /usr/local/imprints/bin/mkprintpkg.pl --name="hp1050c" --version=1.00 --display-name="HP DesignJet 1050c" -d "HP DesignJet 1050C

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, when i send the SIGHUP signal to Samba, then Samba won't load the printers from CUPS. I need to shutdown Samba and start it again. Now when i'am running cupsaddsmb i got the following errors(this error occours in 3.5.x but not in 3.2.x): server-p:/# cupsaddsmb -H server-p -v edv01 edv02 edv03 Kennwort f?r root erforderlich, um ?ber SAMBA auf server-p zugreifen zu k?nnen:

Hello, I have set up a cups print server and would like to offer Point'n'Print functionnality for the windows computer clients. So, i've followed informations from the man page of cupsaddsmb as resumed below: -configure smb.conf -add x86 and x64 PS drivers (from x86 and x64 windows 2008 installs). -add x86 and x64 CUPS drivers (from cups SVN) I then launch cupsaddsmb using the

Dear list, I've upgraded my server from Etch to Lenny and now the printer (HP LaserJet 6P) does not work any more through Samba. Printing a testpage via http://server:631 works perfectly so I skip giving details about the CUPS setup. Also lpstat reports the printer working # lpstat -a HP_LaserJet_6P accepting requests I tried to rerun cupsaddsmb. The driver files are copied to the

I have built a new CUPS print server on Ubuntu 8.04 server for our office (used apt-get to download the CUPS v 1.3.7 and Samba v3.0.28a packages) as a replacement for our existing Suse CUPS print server and I want to use the cupsaddsmb tool to set up printer drivers for download by PCs rather than using the Add Printer Wizard method which we have used on our older CUPS print server. After some

Hi, i try to set up a samba print server with cups, but when i use the cupsaddprinter command, all copy start & stop with no problem, and when the rppcclient command is launch to add the printer driver, it fails and show me this error: # cupsaddsmb -v -U root -a [...many lines...] result was WERR_INVALID_PRINTER_NAME I try to find somthing on the net and other ML & i find this to

Hi list I have two very similar printers set up on CUPS and Samba is configured to share the drivers. I had been playing around with setting up a RAW printer queue with native Windows drivers but eventually gave up on that. I deleted all printers and redid them from scratch and now only one of them works. Setup: Ubuntu Karmic 2.6.31-15-server #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 10 15:50:36 UTC 2009

Hi , i am trying to add a driver to windows using the smbclient and rpc commands [got those from cupsaddsmb -v commands] and i am getting : smbclient //localhost/print$ -U $PASS -N -c ' mkdir W32X86;put GENERIC.ppd W32X86/GENERIC.ppd;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/ps5ui.dll W32X86/ps5ui.dll;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/pscript.hlp W32X86/pscript.hlp;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/pscript.ntf

I'm setting up cups printing with Samba 4.0.5. I downloaded both the windows drivers and the postscript drivers and put them into /usr/share/cups/drivers/. I configured cups through the web interface. Created a printer and printed a test page. I edited smb.conf and put in the necessary entries for cups printing: [global] ... load printers = yes

Hi, I'm trying to add a printer driver to samba 2.2.7, part of the RedHat 9 distro. I have all the associated files under print$/W32X86 (I verified that they were where I thought they were from samba's POV by looking via smbclient). Below is the output from a getdriver command issued to a W2K PDC to get the names of all the required files for the particular printer: [Windows NT x86]

I've attempted to do the same using Win2k's APW. At first it looks like it's going to work, but at the very last part it gives an access denied error. It gives the errors AFTER it copies all the files to the server... Here's the log.spleen (my win2k is spleen): unix_clean_name [W32X86/PSCRIPT.NTF] [2003/08/08 16:46:05, 3] lib/util.c:unix_clean_name(580) unix_clean_name

Hi All, My problem is that when I "connect" a printer by right-clicking it on \\smbhost\printers (on a Windows client), it seems to install the printer fine (without error), but I can't print (it seems to print, no error message or so, but it never makes it to the printer). I was able to install the printer drivers both via the Windows GUI (wizard) and via rpcclient (please see
