I have Samba 2.0.6.3 (or is it 6.5?) running on a SuSE 6.2 system. I currently have three Windows 95/98 clients attached to my linux machine, which is a firewall/gateway to the internet via cable modem. When I was using Samba 1.-something, I was able to print to the printer on the linux box from two of the three Windows 95 machines on the network. Since I upgraded to 2.0.6, I haven't been

Hi, My Centos 4.4 server at home is serving a Samsung SCX-4521F printer, which the *nix and Win clients connect to through ipp. Every so often (maybe once a month), the cupsd.conf and mime.types files are updated, which makes the printer unavailable to the clients. My fix so far has been to stop cups, overwrite the files with cupsd.conf.working and mime.types.working (these are backup files of the

I'm having some difficulties setting up browsing across networks and domains and was hoping some of you folks out there could help. We have two domains on two physically separate networks, connected via a firewall/router. To my knowledge the firewall system is not set to block anything between the two segments, just to route them. Network 192.168.18.0, CH domain 192.168.18.14 ch1 (rh7.3, CH

I have the following in my /etc/samba/smb.conf, yet i still cannot print from a Windows desktop client. I can see the printer and it goes through the motions of setting up the printer, it just doesn't print. It gives an error message about the network name cannot be found. Yet if I browse thru network neighborhood I can see the printer. What I see thouh is a name for the printer called

I've got Samba 2.0.3 running on my Linux box. Marvin is the samba server. Bugs is the NT box. Attached is the relevant part of my smb.conf file. I removed several parts from what's attached to save bandwidth. What you see is simply the part that pertains to my printer. I can't print to the DeskJet printer. The printer appears in my network neighborhood, but I just can't get

Hello, I sent this request already last week, but got no answer (maybe I did not use a good subject). My problem is the following: I use server side drivers with samba 2.2.5 and cups. I add them usually with cupsaddsmb. This works quite well, but I have trouble with printers with really large papersizes. I have some HP Designjet in our Network, we need for our mechanical engineers, as well as

Hi, We're running Samba version 1.9.16p2 under Solaris 2.5.1 (w HW update 11/97). Our PCs run Windows95 with Network Neighborhood and a few have been upgraded to Windows98. I am currently looking at upgrading to Samba 1.9.18p10. On Fri., 12/4 one of our users reported when she selecting Entire Network she received the error "Unable to browse the network.

Hi, first of all, my apologies for the very technical and long nature of this message... I still do not give up with the problem I am having about not being able to browse the Network Neighborhood sometimes. My original post to the list was: >I am using Windows 95 dial-up networking to connect to a Samba box (the >Samba box is a PPP server). I am having problems to browse the Network

Hi, I am using Windows 95 dial-up networking to connect to a Samba box (the Samba box is a PPP server). I am having problems to browse the Network Neighborhood in Windows 95 and I do not why. The problem is random: sometimes I see computers and sometimes I don't. I have read the BROWSING.txt document and tried several smb.conf settings but nothing seems to help. When I connect using

Hi, We are trying to set up a print server for our Windows domain on Samba 2.2.2 and Red Hat 7.1. It was decided to use a netbios alias for the print server so that it would be easier to move in the future if the need arised. From now on the actual netbios name will be reffered to as "server" and the alias as "alias". This solution has worked well on Win9x clients, however

Hi list. I've just got Samba up and running as a fileserver just fine. Now I'm trying to use it as a printserver using CUPS. I can see said printer via Network Neighborhood on XP boxes and add it in Windows but no print jobs complete. No errors in Windows yet no printing start on the printer. Would this be a question of spool permissions? Right now I'm using spool

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me here. I have a linux server with Samba version 2.0.7 trying to talk to a Windows 98 client. I have everything set up, Windows sees the shares and printers I have defined, but as soon as I click on the printer in the server's page from network neighborhood it says "This network printer is currently offline. You can install the printer

Hello! I'm looking after a small office with several PCs that is using Samba for many years now; however it was Samba 3.2.x with Windows 2000 clients. Now they bought entirely new PCs, of course with Windows 7 pre-installed. I managed to successfully move the setup over to Samba 3.3.10, 3.4.5 and now 3.4.6. Everything is working fine, however one problem stubbornly resists to go away:

Hi, I am using redhat 5.1 and want to print to an hp722c on a NT 4.0 box with service pack 3 installed. The printer works fine locally. I have created a win-printer spooler on the redhat machine as a SMB printer to a share on the NT machine called //bob/hp720. I created a printer on the NT machine called hp720 and shared it off as hp720 with the permissions everyone full control. The printer

Hi Folks, I recently set up a samba server 2.0.5a on a NetBSD 1.4.1 box. I have (I think) a very simple setup: one share and one printer. The share configured below (tmp) works fine. I can see the printer in the win95 Network Neighborhood, but when I try to print a test page, I get "windows cannot find the printer" on the Win95 side, and nothing on the samba side. With the smb.conf

Hello all. I'm hoping to get some advise for my issue. I need to allow other users access to my files to make changes. They do not have physical access to the Linux samba server. I want this password protected so that only those who know the password can do this. Thanks in advance.
