Hello Family, My RedHat-7.2 box prints perfectly to an Epson777 color injet printer which I gave an IP address via a mini printserver attached to the back of the printer. I have a Windows2000 computer hooking into the same RedHat-7.2 box via Samba-2.2.2 fine. I have not been able to get my Windows2000 box to print to the Epson777 color injet via Samba. [question] Since Linux already

The attached message is 2001, but was the top of the list in a Google search for the error message. The same solution fixed a SuSE 9.3 Samba/Cups problem for a Brother MFC 3360C printer. Thanks!

Gustavo Courault <courault@gigared.com> has solved this for me with the following advice and I have enclosed my smb.conf file in case it may help anyone, I'm running Samba-2.2.2 and CUPS printing to a Epson-777 injet via a Edimax $40 printserver attached to the back of the printer with a static IP address assigned to the printer. My OS is RedHat-6.2 <quote> I uncomment the line

Hello Family, In yesterday's head thumper I had to attempt to (remotely) grab some wedding photo's for my wife from my Win2000 machine to Solaris-8 running Samba-2.2.2 The examples show the following; smbtar -s dumbo -t /dev/st0 -x windows That assumes your backing up a directory, the directory is on your (windows) C:\WINDOWS I just needed a few jpg's from another drive on my

Hello Family, I had encounted that as "user" I couldn't change my own passwd with "smbpasswd" and noticed the permission differences between smbpasswd and passwd. This is Samba-2.2.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 782415 Dec 28 03:14 /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -r-s--x--x 1 root root 12244 Feb 7 2000 /usr/bin/passwd Is there a reason why the

Hello Family, It took my wife calling me at work to ask for some copies of our wedding pictures (trapped on Windows machine) that are next to the Solaris-8 machine I'm typing this on. Well I said, let me look for "smbmount" and I don't have it compiled on this system so I was going to recompile and saw this: --with-smbmount Include SMBMOUNT (Linux only) support (default=no)

Hello Family, Our sysadmin at work demands that no one have any Samba projects other than the single one on our network due to the "NOISE" that is emitted by Samba. [question] Can I still use the current 2.2.2 with my little test setup and not fall prey to the order to "cease and desist" Samba ? It's one Solaris-8(Intel) and Win2000 and Win98, three total machines. --

Hello Family, (smd.conf file attached) Having had great success with 2.2.2 and my Linux box and Windows-2000 machines I switched to CUPS and now can't print again having made some slight edits in my smb.conf file (attached) for the change to CUPS. [1] I have to reloaded all the Windows drivers again on the Windows-2000 machines and still get the "Startdoc..." error. [2] The

I don't have a solution, but I do want to keep this thread alive until we get it resolved. I'm in the same situation. I can print fine, but it says that annoying message. Do you guys print to an LPD unix queue? My linux print server is sending the job to a LPD linux box that is connected to the printer local. (Our printer support requires it that way). Has anyone been able to

Hi, I installed Wine07252005, my printer is EPSON LX 300X, it's CUPS, the name is EPSON9Pin. I tested it with a simple Delphi program and have two problems: 1) If i print using a report builder like RBuilder, it prints quite well, but the font does look good in the print out. 2) If I use spooler to print, like following: if StartDocPrinter(PrnHandle, 1, @DocInfo) = 0 then begin

Hello Family, In creating an iso to boot the headless/cardless server, I've got isolinux to boot the system OK but still can't get the output to export to /dev/ttyS0 I've got a test script that pipes a "Hello World" to /dev/ttyS0 which show up fine on the other Linux box so I know that tunnel is intact. Here is the contents of my "isolinux.cfg" file that is

Hello Family, (smb.conf file attached) Well I was here messing with the smb.conf file and don't ask me why or how but here it is and it prints to the Epson777 Stylus color inkjet with a "Edimax Mini Print Server" attached to the back with a static IP from Windows2000. The only slight quirk is that the "Epson Status Monitor" pops up looking for the printer trying to

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 Family, I'm having a hell of a time just trying to "see" the shared printer on a Win-XP(pro) box here at home. All my other Windows boxes can not only see it but print to it, my Unix family (all of the relatives) of machines are having no luck. I apologize if this is something simple for Samba has evolved so much that one barely needs to do anything to get stuff working for

Hi. I am trying to follow the simplest implementation of linux printing and can't get it to work. Following the SAMBA quickstart how-to I set up the following SAMBA config. Everything works except the printer. [global] workgroup = myworkgroup netbios name = myserver security = share printcap name = cups disable spoolss = Yes show add printer wizard = No printing = cups encrypt password = Yes

Hello everyone! We're using samba-3.0.2rc2 with OpenLDAP-2.1.27, cupsys-1.1.20final-cvs200403 and a Samsung printer. Printing was working fine but yesterday all of a sudden it stopped working. The error message on the windows machine was: "A StartDocPrinter call was not issued". On viewing samba logs for the machine, we got following error:

Hi there, My Mandrake server has been working fine for years, and I just recently tried adding some rpms to get my squirrel mail updated. (Of course I just removed my uneeded sound card at the same time, amd also found my /var was filling(fixed - printing still doesn't work_, so I am not sure what (if any) broke my system. Any how... here are the symptoms: (1) I can access my shared samba

I'm very new to Linux and Samba so bear with me - I am migrating our business to a Linux/Samba network from an NT network - using Samba as a PDC. We are running RH7.3, Samba v2.2.7a, and CUPS v1.1.14 I have a test network set-up which includes the Linux/Samba PDC server, a Win2000 client and a HP Jetdirect network printer (Laserjet 4Si) Domain logons and filesharing works fine, but I

Hi All, I am working on a product(running on Linux with Kernel 2.4) in which print-server is one of the functionalities. For that I have integrated Samba and CUPS which will let me give print-commands from a Windows PC and the commands are communicated to the cups via Samba and finally the prints are done by the printer which is connected to the product. I have both CUPS(1.2.1) and Samba(3.0.22)
