I am using Mandrake 10 as a file and print server on for my home network. All of my PC clients can print successfully to the epson stylus c60 that I have attached to the printer. My Mac, using OS X (10.3) cannot. It says that it cannot find the printer .. Is there a special setting that I must use in the smb.conf file? #======================= Global Settings

I have a problem with Windows 2000 (SP2) printing to an Epson C60 on a Linux server (running Mandrake 8.1 and Samba 2.2.2 with Cups 1.1.12). I've scoured the net and posts on Usenet have not yielded any helpful response. I have 2 Win2k boxes and they both respond differently, but neither is printing. I've installed the printer on both boxes. On one I get a "unable to

Hi... I got this new server at work that I have to get 100% up and running by tomorrow. It's running Samba 2.2.1a on SuSE 7.3 Pro It's supposed to be VPN - File and Printer Server The printers are: One OCE 700C / CS90 color copier and One OCE 3165 And there is only one problem left. I can install the printer drivers for Win9x & NT on the samba server. But I can't figure out how to

We have a samba 2.2.3a-12.3 for Debian running, and something odd in printing. We use CUPs as linux print server. When we print from a w2k station, prints come out the printer, but the printer window reports a cycle of messages: - initializing printer - opening printer - failed to open, retrying what can be the cause? parts of the smb.conf: ============== [global] printcap

I know in some ways the answer is RTFM, but I'm not even sure which docs to read or where they are. I've posted about my printing problem before (Win2k SP2 won't print to my Linux server printer), and even though I've had some suggestions, nothing has worked (after a solid week of trying combinations in smb.conf, I'm close to having to drop Linux and go to a complete

I am driving a Suse 8.2 linux with cups 1.1.18 and samba 2.2.7a. The problem: The host serves several printers via cups. If some jobs are in one of the queues "lpq -Pprinter" or "lpstat -o printer" shows up the complete listing. Fine. Connected to the same print queue from a Windows (XP/NT/98/2k) box I cannot see the complete listing. Sometimes I see some of the jobs, most of

I've compile a Samba 4.0.9 for x86_64 with the following options: CPPFLAGS="-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_GNU_SOURCE -march=atom -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" \ samba_cv_HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY_TZ=yes \ samba_cv_HAVE_IFACE_IFCONF=yes \ samba_cv_HAVE_IFACE_IFREQ=yes \ ac_cv_have_setresuid=yes \ ac_cv_have_setresgid=yes \ ac_cv_file__proc_sys_kernel_core_pattern=yes \

HiHo If I try to mount a DFS from our Windows 2000 Server on my linux box I only get the top-level structure, all DFS links are empty. How can I mount a DFS? Ciau Rainer

I've described printer problems with 2.2.2 & Win2k SP2 in an earlier message. At one point, using an earlier version of Samba, on an earlier install, the printing worked just fine. Does using Samba as a PDC for logons from Win2k boxes do anything to effect the use of printers and print shares? Or are the two completely separate and have no interaction or effect on each other? Hal

Suddenly my samba printers ceased working. Trying to print 'manually' through smbclient yields this: smbclient \\\\host\\pcprinter -P -N -U guest Added interface ip=xxx.xyz.yy.zzz bcast=xxx.xyz.yy.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Domain=[IPHY] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.1a] smb: \> print /etc/printcap putting file /etc/printcap as printcap-2385 Error writing file: ERRHRD - 39 (0 kb/s)

Hi Can somebody tell me how to use cvs to check for patches. Are the patches packaged as RPM for linux or do I have to figure out how to install them which i don't know how to do. You see my winbindd keeps crashing and i probably need to patch it up. Also when I try to move files from windows to samba, sometimes I receive this errors "file path is too deep". Please somebody

I manage a bunch of workstations at the Wendell Free Library. They are all diskless, boot via PXE and mount all of their file systems via NFS from a server. All of the machines are 32-bit and run CentOS (fully up-to-date running 5.10). There are two printers with queues managed on the server. The server 'shares' these printers on the local LAN (eg with all of the workstations).

Hail SAMBA folks, I'm having a little difficulty trying to share files and directories that contain a colon in the filename. With a fairly simple configuration, everything works as expected sans the colon problem. On the client end (in my case, Windows 2000 SP2) I get somewhat unpredictable behaviour. In every case the file (or directory) name gets mangled in an unfriendly way. For

if one uses the "logon drive = " the home directory get mounted on Z: however, when i set "logon drive = H:" the home directory get mounted on H: i red in the PDC Faq, net tested for samba 2.2.X that leaving "logon drive = " would not allow roaming profile, and that it will save the profile in the user computer speeding up the login/logout process. However, i

I've mentioned this before, here, but with a laser printer connected via the lp0 port. I have a new laser printer, a Brother HL2140, that normally works just fine when installed using the CUPS interface per OpenPrinting's instructions (with one minor modification I had to add because the base driver without the CUPS installation did not work. Every so often, which actually appears to be

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 >

I'm running FreeBSD 4.4, with Samba 2.2.2 freshly installed, with the FreeBSD Ports package to install files in correct places.

Hi: I am new to the Samba world and I am having problems with printing. I have Samba installed on a Solaris 8 server. I can see the Samba shares and the printer (lasersys) in Windows Explorer. I have installed the printer on my workstation (NT 4.0) using the Windows 'Add Printer' wizard. However, when I send a print job to the printer (Wordpad:File > Print) the job never gets to the

I am driving Suse 8.2, samba 2.2.7a, cups 1.1.18 As I mentioned recently I cannot see the cups printer queues from a windows client even if lpq -Pprinter on the cups server gives the correct status. I tested a litte more and got the following results: 1.) If I configure samba to printing = CUPS printcap name = CUPS I can see all queue entries in the windows status panel, too -- except
