The attached message is 2001, but was the top of the list in a Google search for the error message. The same solution fixed a SuSE 9.3 Samba/Cups problem for a Brother MFC 3360C printer. Thanks!

Hi there I just installed the above mentioned system and try to print from a W2k box to the Samba box but nothing happens. There's no problem in printing from the RH box or via Webmin but when I try to print from the W2k box nothing happens. I don't get an error or anything. I installed the printer by the help of the add printer tool in RH, and simply go to the Printer--->Add

Gustavo Courault <courault@gigared.com> has solved this for me with the following advice and I have enclosed my smb.conf file in case it may help anyone, I'm running Samba-2.2.2 and CUPS printing to a Epson-777 injet via a Edimax $40 printserver attached to the back of the printer with a static IP address assigned to the printer. My OS is RedHat-6.2 <quote> I uncomment the line

Hi again Thank you all for helping me out, really appreciate it. Works like a charm now, I added [global] printing = cups printcap name = lpstat load printers = yes and in [printers]-section: [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes

Hi. I run SuSE 8.1 and samba here. On the linux machine I have a HP1100A on the parallel port, and a HP-DJ895Cxi on a USB port. I can print ok from this linux machine to both printers. From my laptop, that runs WIN98, I can print to the HP1100A printer. I cannot print to the DJ895Cxi, even if its set up as a network printer. I could do this with SuSE dists up to 8.0. From 8.1 printers are

Hi all, I'm new to this list, as to SAMBA, and I'm struggling with getting a printer to work as a shared printer in a Windows network with a redhat 9 server. The printer is a HP 4550 Color LaserJet, installed with CUPS to the server, via JetDirect (port 9100). It prints testpages fine from the Linux-server. It was installed with the install-printer-utility in RedHat9. I have then shared

New to Samba, so excuse me if this is a stupid question, but I've searched the different on line resources and can't find an answer. When I copy Perl scripts from my Windows 2000 machine to the UNIX Samba share on that same machine, a CR/LF appears at the end of each line instead of just the CR, making UNIX unhappy when I go to run those scripts. Any way to have Samba strip the LF

Hello, I print from a Win2000 Station to a Debian SID with Samba and cups ( [samba 2.999+3.0.alph] [cupsys 1.1.18-1] ), I can print but on the Win2000 I have the message (unable to connect on the printer ....) and this is a part of my error_log file: adPPDs: Read "/etc/cups/ppds.dat", 143 PPDs... I [07/Jan/2003:19:06:31 +0100] LoadPPDs: No new or changed PPDs... E

The Adobe drivers (on request of the printer PPD associated with them) often put a PJL header in front of the main PostScript part of the print file. Thus, the printfile starts with <1B >%-12345X or <escape>%-12345X instead of %!PS). This leads to the CUPS daemon auto-typing the incoming file as a print-ready file, not initiating a pass through the pstops filter (to speak more

Dearl all, I have setup samba2.2.7 with cups1.1.14. In win2k client, the browse the printer share and install the windows 2000 printer successfuly. When I try to print some to it, nothing will be printed out. I check the cups's error_log found the following message: "E [11/Dec/2002:20:35:43 +0800] print_job: Unsupported format 'application/octet-stream'!" Also, I check

Hi all, I'm having a few problems getting samba to pass along settings for various print options for all of our printers. Printers are set up using PPDs in CUPS, added to samba via the cupsaddsmb command and then added to windows clients via point and print. Unfortunately any print jobs sent from windows appear to completely ignore many of the CUPS settings such as duplex and print

Das Problem kann behoben werden in dem man nochmal die genaue Schreibweise in der smb.conf ?berpr?ft. Hilfreich w?re es auch in /etc/cups/cups.conf (Suse 8.1) LogLevel debug einzustellen, um genauere Informationen zu erhalten. Und nat?rllich dann cups neustarten. Diese k?nnen in der /var/log/cups/error_log nach gelesen werden. Auch gross und Klein Schreibung beachten, obwohl ich hier nicht genau

Hello, I'm trying to get priting working from a Windows XP box to a printer that's been shared via SAMBA. I can browse the printer fine, and can print fine from linux, but not from Windows. The following errors appear in the SAMBA log for the windows host I'm printing from: lp: unable to print file: client-error-not-found lpstat: Unknown destination "level3-bw"! The

Since updating from 4.5 to 4.6 yesterday, I am getting a lot of CUPS errors. The error.log file is filling up with these messages: get_printer_attrs: resource name '/printers/printers' no good! And the access.log seems to be being polled often too, even in the absence of any print jobs submitted. On my network the CUPS-handled printer is exported from Samba. Given that the Samba

I have had terrible luck trying to find a ppd that works correctly for both win9x clients and winNT/2000/XP at the same time. The CUPS method is to find one ppd that works for all and I have tried several: those at linuxprinting.org, hp's sourceforge site, vendor winNT ppds (docs suggest these), and vendor win98 ppds. I have tried filtering PJL and not filtering PJL. I have the stock

Hi I am currently using Samba 3.0.11 and Cups 1.1.23 with Windows PostScript drivers and manufacturer PPDs on WinXP clients. When I print multiples copies of a document from a Windows XP box, the number of copies appearing in the Cups "page_log" file always takes the "1" value but the printer prints the correct number of copies. When I do the same on Linux (with the lpr

I've been running RedHat 5.0 and Samba flawlessly for over 6 months now. I had to reboot the server and now I can't seem to print.
