similar to: 2.2.3a printing problems: no printing from Word, spools taking up all CPU on clients

Printing from NT4.0 clients to Samba 2.2.3a using the NT4.0 drivers from HP works fine for me, my only problem has been with W2K clients using the W2K drivers from HP. The drivers from www.hp.com appear to be level 3 drivers, that is where they install, and they are downloaded by W2K drivers if they are available when the NT4.0 drivers are also available. Now, whether these drivers from HP are

I have a Domain controlled by a (Samba 2.2.2 upgraded to) Samba 2.2.3a PDC, with unix password sync = yes The PDC (on a Mandrake Linux 8.X box) does not use password ageing, and we don't want password ageing on our network. We have a mix of Windows 98, NT4 and 2000 client workstations. Unfortunately, some of the Windows 2000 users who log in to the domain have complained that Windows is

I'm running samba 2.2.3a-6 under Debian (testing) and I am having a heck of a time getting Windows 2000 to print to my printer. I keep getting that "Access denied, unable to connect" message. At one point I had it so you could print test pages, but as soon as you tried to print from an application, it would break. However, that doesn't even work anymore. I've been reading

Hi All, Does anyone have printing problem with an EPSON C80 connected to a Win98 OSR2 with USB cable ? I'm trying to "lpr'ing" a text file from a Linuxbox RH7.2 to the above printer without success. The print seem sent ok, because the green led flash something, but doesn't print. Any suggestion ? Thanks in advance. Roberto Fichera.

I have an Epson Stylus Color 880, connected to our network via an external ethernet printserver. I used to run lprng on the samba server (which is a domain controller), and the Windows clients had one minor problem accessing this printer via Samba (2.2.3a, then): Every time a client wanted to print, the Epson status monitor on the client would complain about communication problems with the

Hi, there is a "X" value for the acount flags in smbpasswd ... it means no password expiry! I found it on passdb/passdb.c. If it work?s, maybe I don?t no! Also the password expire time ist hard coded in passwd.c too ... set to infinity. Take a look at the passwd.c code!

We're trying to share an Epson USB inkjet printer via Samba 3.0.2-7 on our new Fedora server. The share is set up OK, and can be seen and opened from Windows clients. However, although the Fedora box can print to the Epson, the Windows boxes can't. All other Samba shares, including a laser printer connected to the parallel port, work fine. Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?

I am trying to allow printing from my linux box to my win98 box, to which my epson stylus printer is attached. It's just not happening...something tells me I'm flirting with a world of pain. I *can* print a file by going: smbclient //rory/EPSON translate print /etc/group but I cannot print from applications, nor can i use smbprint. I tried going: cat /etc/passwd | sh -x smbprint

Hello people, ok just a small problem I have with my samba settings. I have a RH 6.0 file/printer server that is connected to some Windoze 98 machines and a couple of Macs. The linux machine also has one printer on its local port lpt1. Ok...I have set up everything and currently I can print from the Windozes and the Mac to the printer that is localy connected on the Linux server. What I want

My wife has just gotten a new printer which works perfectly when connected either to her Win98 box or to my woody box. However I am unable to share the printer between the two machines. Here are my choices in order of increasing desireability. I could of course just move the cable whenever I want to print from my box. This is the obviously least desireable option. The windows machine can

I've seen a lot on printing from Win boxes to printers on Linux boxes. I've found very little on printing from Linux to Windows printers. The HOWTO has some information and I've found several other sources, but I still can't get my Linux box to print to a Windows 2000 printer. I'm using Mandrake Linux 8.2, Samba 2.2.3a, CUPS (I'm not sure of the version, I think

I know that printing on Linux is somewhat of an art form, but I have a fairly simple problem. I used the following command to configure a networked printer (HP LaserJet 8150): lpadmin -p name -E -v socket://name -m laserjet.ppd -u allow:all - u deny:none This added and enabled the printer, and I can print to it using the print command from within a GUI application and PostScript

[crossposting to Samba, CUPS and Linuxprinting mailing lists...] Hi, the Draft for the Printing Chapter of the new Samba 3.0 HOWTO Collection. is now updated to version 0.81beta4.It is available at http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/SambaPrintHOWTO/ A PDF version (for convenient printing) is also there. Here is my Changelog:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello world, I've dug through the docs and googled through the net, but I'm still unable to fix my Samba (2.2.3a-6 for Debian) setup so that I can print from my wife's Windows XP laptop. The server is using Cups and I can print from the server and over the net from my (Debian) laptop. The XP box can connect to the server and browse

I'm thinking for replacing my current printer that I use with my POS systems (http://possolutions.multiply.com/). What do you think is the best brand out there? Thanks.

I apologize has been discussed, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm trying configure my samba/debian box to allow printing to a shared printer on a win95 machine. Any help is appreciated.

I've discovered a couple of things while troubleshooting my printer setup problems. 1. print$ must be 0744. I ran a level-3 debug, and was seeing "chmod failed" errors. Upping it to level-10, I saw something that pointed to unix rights of 0744; my dir's were set to 0755 or 0777...neither worked. When I set print$ and it's subdir's to 0744, the chmod errors went away.

Hello list, I am trying to set up a remote Epson printer with a Epson print server attached. I am using IPP and when setting up a print queue from system- config-printer, I am unable to print a test page. I get this error: There was a problem sending CUPS test page to 'remote740' queue: lpr: error - unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable I can however print a test

I am at my wits end. I have a brother hl1440 laser which I have working with Linux under cups, but I cannot get it working with samba and seen by a Windows XP system. I already have disk shares working properly. The printers name under cups is 1440. I want it's Windows printing to be done by the Windows driver. All the docs I have found online all seem to assume you already are a
