I have a lexmark Z53 attached to a linux samba server. My native windows clients and my linux clients (thanks to linux support from lexmark) can print to it with no problem. However, when I use windows over win4lin, the drivers don't install. They always fail with a spool32 error. This happens with the lexmark z32 also. I have no trouble installing other printers from the large list that comes

Hi, I installed the smbclient package in debian... I can connect to shared filesystems on the win98 box //LARRY. Such as smbclient //LARRY/AU. and the also the printer //LARRY/ML1210 (my samsung printer.) But when connected to the printer if I say print. It says the following: oube@debian:~$ smbclient //LARRY/ML1210 added interface ip=10.169.17.94 bcast=10.169.17.95 nmask=255.255.255.248 Got

I set up a print/fax server here using RH Linux 6.0, and Samba 2.0.3. The printer is an old (but still very reliable) HP Laserjet 4. Printing from the Linux box using lpr works fine. However, whenever someone tries to print from a Windows98 box through SAMBA, there is an extra page printed on the end. This gets really annoying to the users, more so because the extra pages cannot be put back into

Hi all, I am a beginner to samba. I use redhat7.2. I have a printer at winnt4.0 server. I want to configure redhat7.2 at my desk to connect and to be able to printe printer. How can I do this? Thanks inadvnace, Regards, lonh

I have a WinXP guest under VMWare on my CentOS 5.1 host and it can access the CentOS printer(s) just fine. However, I also have a Win98 box on the LAN that I would like to be able to print on the CentOS printer. When I try to connect to the printer, Win98 tells me that it can't find the network...? Any suggestions? (This "slightly" really is - it _is_ directly related to CentOS,

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 >

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......

Using SAmba 3.0.2 and Cups 1.1.17. How does one configure a W98 box to print to a samba shared printer? Per my previous postings I can't figure it out, and the methods I've used on older Sambas don't work. I've been thru the lengthy discussion in the samba with cups documentation, which tells how to do it for NT or later, but not 9x. I've posted the smb.conf before,

Howdy, I'm looking for a piece of software I can use for accounting printers shared on a Linux box via Samba, to Win98/2K/XP machines on a domain. In other words, I want to be able to give user a print quota (say, $3.00), then charge them 10c per page they print from a Windows client to a printer shared from a Linux box running Samba. If they're out of quota, it doesn't print

Hi, I've been running a samba server for our small group of users (about 15) for approx the last 18 months with great success. We use the server for both file and printer sharing. I had to make some modifications to the printer configuration today, and I've got a quick question which arose from my tinkering. I wanted to configure the server such that each of our printers can be used

Hi all, I try to explain my strange Samba problem: I've done a linuxbox with Mandrake 8.2 distro; installed Samba 2.2 packages and two printers attached via parallel port: one works with the motherboard built-in parallel port, the other is connected via a pci parallel port card. Both works fine on win2000 clients (and on the linuxbox, too :); on windows 98 clients, both printers are

My Win98(SE) Samba clients can query the Samba-exported printer status, but Win2K(SP3) clients cannot. Both clients can actually print documents. I am running Samba v2.2.3a on a Linux (Red Hat v7.3) system. This server makes 2 printers (via a LPR subsystem) and several shared directories available to our Linux, Win98 and Win2K (soon to be WinXP also) clients. From a Win98 client, print

I'm stuck. I have Samba running on my Red Hat 7.2 Linux box. I can mount by remote dirctory on the Linux box via Samba. But I can't print to the Linux printer. I have a Linux printer installed and I can print to it using lpr. I have a printer configured in Samba and can see that from the Win98SE box. I've clicked on the Samba printer name and configured a Win98 printer.

Hi, I have a light firewall machine that also acts as a Samba print server for a Win32 host on my intranet. For some reason, if the Win98 machine hasn't printed for an extended length of time, the printer goes off-line. When the Win32 tries to print, the printer throws an error and we have to unplug the printer and then plug it back in. It then tries to finish the print job which

I'm having problem with printing from win98 to my printer which is connected to my Red Hat machine. I can see lp from Network Neighbourhood and printer is set up as \\REDHATMACHINE\lp however nothing would come out of the printer. Windows doesn't give any error message. My Red Hat machine prints fine however. I've included a portion of my smb.conf below. [global] printcap name =

I have Samba 2.2.6 complied against Cups 1.1.16 on a Sparc system running Solaris 9. Cups has replaced the stock system V lp spooler on this system (original packages removed.) Cups working from UNIX command line is A-OK. I have been working on setting up Samba to play nice with cups. I have followed the instructions from both the Cups and Samba websites to set up downloading of the
