similar to: Changing drivers for already installed printers

Greetings, I'm seeing am odd printing problem on a Windows 2000 machine - the machine is NOT in the Samba controlled domain, but in a different "real" NT 4.0 controlled domain. The user on this machine is able to mount "shares" from my Samba servers, but since moving to 2.2.3a his is denied access to printers. Strange is he can access files on the same server that

Greetings, all I seem to run across more interesting issues with printing... Anyhow, by Samba (2.2.3a) print server (Sun Solaris 8) somehow forgot about all of its printer drivers. I went through the process of re-loading them from a Windows 2000 client machine using drivers downloaded fromn HP for all but our laserjet 4 printers. I was able to install the Windows 2000 drivers OK, but

Greetings, all, I have a fresh install of Samba 2.2.7 on a Solaris 9 machine. Stand alone, not part of a domain. Testing with a stand alone Windows 2000 professional client with service pack 3 installed. I am having problems setting defaults for the installed printer drivers and I have been unable to load Win98 drivers to go along with the W2k drivers. Printers being tested are an HP LJ

Greetings, I am using Samba (both 2.2.8a and 3.0.4) on servers running CUPS and have used cupsaddsmb to make the Cups drivers available for download to the client PCs. Everything has been working as it should. I need to make some changes to the PPD files on the CUPS servers. The question I have is about propagating the changes to the client PCs. I can either hand edit the copy of the PPD

Greetings and Happy New Year, My samba print server is still running 2.2.2 and I've not been able to upgrade it past that point. I have not been able to get the printer drivers to behave properly in ANY later version. Currently I am testing Samba 2.2.7 running under Solaris 9. I have been using HP Laserjet 4000 and 8150 postscript drivers in my testing. I am seeing two distinct

Greetings, I have Samba 4.4.7 running on several Sparc boxes running Solaris 9 as member servers in an Active Directory environment. (I do not control the AD configuration) I am able to connect to the servers using windows clients and smbclient - the problem I have run into is when I try to add domain users to local groups on the Samba servers I am told the users do not exist. As these

Greetings, For a number of samba iterations I've been using Samba with winbind to keep AD users's UNIX UIDs and GIDs the same across several systems. I don't run the Active Directory set-up and those that do are NOT going to make any alterations to make my life easier. So i have always used idmap_rid to keep consistent UID/GID numbers across all my UNIX machines. This has

... When I install the W2K drivers and set the options for each printer, only users in the printer admin group see the customized settings. Normal users only see the default settings that the driver originally installed, not the ones I edited (such as duplex installed, additional papertrays and output trays, and paper/tray assignment.) The normal users are also unable to alter these

Greetings, I have an elderly installation of Samba 3.5.8 running on 10 Sparc servers (and 3.5.12 on Solaris 9 servers with the same issue) set up as Active Directory member servers. Since we've laid-off everyone else around here I have not had the opportunity to update the Samba installation - and have not needed to as it has been very solid. Suddenly last Friday the Samba servers

Greetings, I hope someone can tell me if what I want to do is possible with Samba or not. I have been searching for info and found a number of people with similar problems, but not an answer. I have a Samba server (3.2.4) running on a Solaris 10 machine which is a member server in Active Directory (AD). I am using winbind. The AD users can access the samba server shares and UNIX services.

Yes, I know that version is obsolete and as soon as I can actually get the later versions of Samba to run and behave on my Solaris 10 boxes i will upgrade. AD member servers. Using rid to map UID numbers as not available from our AD folks. Two of the machines are going on their merry own way rather than creating the same UID numbers for AD users that other samba servers are using. On two

Greetings, I recently upgraded an AD member server from Samba 3.5.15 to Samba 3.6.9 and found that I had lost all the existing local group mappings. I see that the group mapping file has gone from group_mapping.ldb to group_mapping.tdb. I asked on this list as well as searching the web, Samba documentation (which still seems focused on version 3.5), and Samba Wiki and found nothing on a

Greetings, I've been reading and re-reading "Chapter 12. Group Mapping: MS Windows and UNIX", Mailing list messages with the subjects "valid users = +group doesn't work" and "Unix ADS group membership or vice versa" and all I've gotten is more confused. I have to move my samba servers from a Samba PDC environment to Active Directory (AD) where they will

Greetings, My odd question for the week - I've been unable to figure out if/how to do this. Given an Active Directory user ID, is there a way to get the user's real name? During testing of our Samba AD member servers I have seen user's given names appearing in the log files - is there a way that I can pull that for my own use? Our site uses loginIDs for users that give no clue

Greetings, Attempting to build samba 3.5.6 on Solaris 10. Running make after the configure process has completed yields: make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 1396: Extra `:', `::', or `:=' on dependency line Not that I have not had issues of late building Samba, but this id the first time it went of the rails so early in the building process. -Bob --

Greetings, I have been working on getting Samba 3.0.20rc2 on a Sun Solaris box to play nice with our institution's Active Directory (AD) environment. The AD set-up is pretty plain and I have no ability to make changes to its configuration - a different department runs that show. Should I be able to store the roaming profile information on my Samba server in an AD environment? The rest

Greetings, Before I get to far digging I was wondering if anyone else was seeing problems with Samba 3.2 on Solaris 10 (Sparc.) I built Samba with gcc 3.4.3. Clients are denied access to server resources and I'm seeing the following in the logs: [2008/07/02 15:47:38, 3] smbd/password.c:register_existing_vuid(326) register_existing_vuid: UNIX uid 10000 is UNIX user CSUNET\1001362,

So SAMBA no longer supports print driver downloads. That is about the only conclusion that I can come to at this point. I've not been able to get Windows printer driver downloads to work right since Samba 2.2.2. No one but printer admins displays the correct settings for printers, everyone else gets the original printer defaults that they cannot change. I've tried this with
