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

I know that printing on Linux is somewhat of an art form, but I have a fairly simple problem. I used the following command to configure a networked printer (HP LaserJet 8150): lpadmin -p name -E -v socket://name -m laserjet.ppd -u allow:all - u deny:none This added and enabled the printer, and I can print to it using the print command from within a GUI application and PostScript

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

I'm running samba 2.2.3a-6 under Debian (testing) and I am having a heck of a time getting Windows 2000 to print to my printer. I keep getting that "Access denied, unable to connect" message. At one point I had it so you could print test pages, but as soon as you tried to print from an application, it would break. However, that doesn't even work anymore. I've been reading

Greetings, I'm not on the list, so please CC me, thanks. :) Problem: printing a full-page graphic stops 3 inches into the print. System: FreeBSD 3.2 server running Samba 2.0.3 (version that is installed with the distribution) 486DX (4 or 8MB, I don't remember at the moment, I think 8.) 2 parallel ports Epson Color STYLUS 500 Epson Color STYLUS 800 Win95 client

Epson doesn't seem to have one; I see an rpm at openprinting.org, but that .rpm d/l I started around 11:30 my time, and the d/l slowed, and slowed, and it's been at 21% and "1 hr 17 min to go" for it seems like close to half an hour. I d/l a tar.bz2, but I'm not sure I want to build and install it - my use of this printer is temporary, and I want to be able to uninstall it

I can't seem to find an answer or a workaround, and I've received stoney silence on this one. There aren't any answers in the archives (well, I didn't find any in the hours on several days I spent, anyhow). I'm convinced that I can't be the *only* one with this problem, nor am I convinced that there is absolutely no one who can help. Please feel free to jump in with

Hello Folks, I will personally send $50(AU) of Pizza to anyone that solves this one :) We have a network comprising approx 30 Windows workstations all logging in to a samba machine running as a PDC. The main exported file system is an NFS mounted file system, but this was happening back when this was an xfs file system as well. ACL's are enabled. We are running Samba Version 2.2.8a. The

I have menaged to setup Samba services to share an IBM 4039 printer and have tested another printer (Epson LX-800) on the PC. It works fine. The weird thing, the IBM4039 will not print anything. All the jpbs will be spooled. For each print job to be printed. I will need to switch off the printer and switch it on again. Have anyone encountered such problems before? I know there is basically

Hello, I couldn't find an answer to this small question in google/man/faq: why do I use lose my printer if I use registry backend? config backend = file (full config file below): ... [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba create mask = 0700 printable = Yes browseable = No guest ok = yes ... $ smbclient -kL //venkman ...

I am really quite puzzled as to why I have to edit smb.conf every time I want to print to the FreeBSD machine from Win2K. (Running FBSD 4.7, samba 2.2.7 and cups 1.1.15.1_4. When I log onto FBSD with username, password, I see the folders for the printers, home, tmp, etc. but no printer. (Only 1 installed - Epson Stylus Color 900). I can access the shares on FBSD from Win2k, but there is no

Good evening: I am running RedHat Linux 8.0 on a box that has my Epson Stylus Color 777 printer attached to it. The printer works fine from all applications on my Linux box using a driver I picked up from TurboPrint. I have downloaded and installed Samba 2.7.2 and am trying to print from a Windows 2000 box to this Linux machine. The problem is that when I print, the document seems to queue up

For some reason, I cannot get samba (or Win98, depending on how you look at it...) to allow a win98 client to print. I search the list archives, but I didn't find anything similar. So here goes. Symptoms: - Win98 client can access fileshares OK. The printers show up OK as well in network neighbourhood. - On Linux, printing (lprng) works OK. - In win98, e.g. dir >

Anyone dealt with an Epson Stylus Photo 2200? Disconnected from my machine, it won't even print a self-test page.... mark

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......

This is a hard one. I can set up cups & samba fine to print ok on FreeBSD and to print from W2K on BSD - ahh, but only with the windows printer driver for Epson - which sucks - there is no way to clean heads, the color is horrible, print area is limited, etc. The major problem is that there does not seem to be any documentation that explains clearly how the configuration works either for

Hello samba team ! I have configured a samba4 printer with CUPS as backend. And I have enabled the "load printers = yes" option in smb.conf. Nearly everything works well ! -> Samba detect the CUPS printers -> The printers appear automatically in the "printers" share -> On windows 7 I can add the server the printmanagement.msc and I see the printers -> I can upload

My wife has just gotten a new printer which works perfectly when connected either to her Win98 box or to my woody box. However I am unable to share the printer between the two machines. Here are my choices in order of increasing desireability. I could of course just move the cable whenever I want to print from my box. This is the obviously least desireable option. The windows machine can

I'm hoping my desperate post yesterday just didn't make it across. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or just want to say "Hi"? Using... CUPS 1.1.13 Samba 2.2.1a Gimp-Print 4.2.0 on a RH 7.2 computer with a USB Epson Stylus Photo 420 printer hooked up to a Windows98 computer... I am unable to print properly... The output seems to be dying on its way to the Windows 98
