Hello - I've been working on getting ready to cut our 60+ Samba servers over from the old style printers.def approach to the new printer drivers databases. However, I'm have a hard time uploading the packages onto the server using the install_printer_drivers.pl script from Imprints 0.0.9b. To make sure I wasn't packaging them wrong I used the imprints.sourceforge.org server to get

Hi all, This is a re-post of a question I originally submitted 10/22. There have been no responses, so I am trying again as this problem has us stalled in our tracks re managing printer drivers with rpcclient. >>I am getting a fatal Signal 11 event when I use >>install_printer_drivers.pl on AIX 4.3.3 with Samba 2.2.1a so I would like >>to bring you up to date on my

Hi Jerry Carter and list members, The post below was rejected by the list moderator as too big. That cost me four days and now I am really anxious for positive feedback from rpcclient experts either in the field or at samba.org. It was too big because I included a listing of STDERR and STDOUT from setting debug level to 10 in step #4 of install_printer_drivers.pl. I have trimmed it down by

I installed samba 2.2.8a and imprints 0.0.9b on a freshly up2date Redhat 8.0. I tried to install a driver using: install_printer_drivers.pl -host imprints.sourceforge.net 'HP LaserJet 8100' The driver files were copied into the /etc/printers/W32X86. But samba created another directory, /etc/printers/W32X86/2 with uid and gid of nobody,nobody. It then reported an "ERROR!" and

Hi all, Samba 3.0.7 and using CUPS printing. I am logged in as root to an XP Pro system, I have used the APW to install the XP drivers to all of my printers. I went to Shared and clicked "Additional Drivers" and checkmarked both 9x and NT/2K boxes. Using drivers straight from the HP website, the 9x driver installs fine, but it seems like I can't get any NT/2K drivers to

Hello, when i send the SIGHUP signal to Samba, then Samba won't load the printers from CUPS. I need to shutdown Samba and start it again. Now when i'am running cupsaddsmb i got the following errors(this error occours in 3.5.x but not in 3.2.x): server-p:/# cupsaddsmb -H server-p -v edv01 edv02 edv03 Kennwort f?r root erforderlich, um ?ber SAMBA auf server-p zugreifen zu k?nnen:

I'm setting up cups printing with Samba 4.0.5. I downloaded both the windows drivers and the postscript drivers and put them into /usr/share/cups/drivers/. I configured cups through the web interface. Created a printer and printed a test page. I edited smb.conf and put in the necessary entries for cups printing: [global] ... load printers = yes

Hi, I'm trying to add a printer driver to samba 2.2.7, part of the RedHat 9 distro. I have all the associated files under print$/W32X86 (I verified that they were where I thought they were from samba's POV by looking via smbclient). Below is the output from a getdriver command issued to a W2K PDC to get the names of all the required files for the particular printer: [Windows NT x86]

I can't even get cupsaddsmb to work right. I followed the configuration instructions from the documentation, and my smb.conf matches what the cupsaddsmb man page says. I am getting extremely frustrated with this and not being able to allow clients to download drivers from Samba. With cupsaddsmb, this is the error I am receiving when it gets to this point, over and over: Running command:

As an update to fix the badlock vulnerability I applied some updates to our (RHEL5-based) samba printer server last night, taking it from version 0:3.5.10-0.109.el5_8 to 0:3.6.23-12.el5_11 (rpm package versions). After this change attempts to add printer drivers with cupsaddsmb produced errors of the form: Running command: rpcclient localhost -N -A /tmp/cupsc7GVnF -c 'adddriver

Has anyone had any success installing windows printer drivers onto a leopard-hosted print$ share? If I use the Add Printer Wizard method, if copies the driver files to \ \SERVER\print$\W32X86 then fails with an "Operation cannot be completed." If I use the rpcclient method I get a WERR_INVALID_PARAM error. Using the Adobe Generic PostScript driver as an example.

Hello, I'm trying to use rpcclient to add a driver to a Samba 3.0.25 running on Gentoo. When I run the script below, rpcclient prints out the same message as if "--help" was submitted as the only switch. #!/bin/bash -x RPC="/usr/local/samba/bin/rpcclient" ARCH='Windows NT R4000' #ARCH='Windows NT x86' DRIVER='HP LaserJet 4Si/4Si MX

Hello all, I'm running Samba 3.5.5 on Debian 5, and following the documentation as closely as I can to install drivers using rpcclient. I first install the driver on a Windows 7 x65 workstation, then use rpcclient/smbclient to fetch the files. I then use smbclient to put those on the print$ share of the Samba server. So far, so good. Then I use rpcclient to add those files, and that

Cups 1.2.7 Debian Etch with Samba 3.0.24 Clients: WinXP SP3 (with Firewall completely off for testing) When I define a printer specifically in smb.conf, they show up as shared printers in WinXP. But when I follow the normal way (see below) to load all from cups they don't. I followed mainly the latest SAMBA-HOWTO (chapter 21-22) The only error I see in log.smbd when accessing the

Hi, My network has samba 2.2.2 installed on Sun with lprng and NT 4.0 workstations. Samba acts as PDC for these workstations. I am using priting through samba. I am using 'disable spoolss = yes' option which means the drivers are on installed on client side and are not downloaded from the server. So all these printers (on Samba) act as Local printers on NT machines. As I am

Hello, I have set up a cups print server and would like to offer Point'n'Print functionnality for the windows computer clients. So, i've followed informations from the man page of cupsaddsmb as resumed below: -configure smb.conf -add x86 and x64 PS drivers (from x86 and x64 windows 2008 installs). -add x86 and x64 CUPS drivers (from cups SVN) I then launch cupsaddsmb using the

This is puzzling me (and hampering some work, slightly): NT4SP6 + full updates server, with some printers attached. "rpcclient -U admin%pass enumdrivers 2" server gives me a list of stuff like this: [Windows 4.0] Printer Driver Info 2: Version: [0] Driver Name: [HP LaserJet 5Si PCL 5e] Architecture: [Windows 4.0] Driver Path:

I suspect this is an old one but can't find the answer in the archives Symptoms: Word2000 "hangs"/ takes ages(minutes) to open document apparently due to doing something with default printer??? relevent smbd process on server runs up to 50-60% and stops there for several minutes. Oplocks seem to be created on downloadable driver files when printer is accessed DENY WRITE

Dear list, I've upgraded my server from Etch to Lenny and now the printer (HP LaserJet 6P) does not work any more through Samba. Printing a testpage via http://server:631 works perfectly so I skip giving details about the CUPS setup. Also lpstat reports the printer working # lpstat -a HP_LaserJet_6P accepting requests I tried to rerun cupsaddsmb. The driver files are copied to the
