I am trying to associate a driver that i installed with mkprintpkg and install_printer_drivers.pl with the printer that its supposed to go with. this is a log of what is happening: nendral:~ # rpcclient nendral -U root -W xxxx Enter Password: session setup ok Domain=[xxxx] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.4] rpcclient $> enumdrivers [Windows NT x86] Printer Driver Info 1: Driver Name:

Hi all, I am attempting to get Sage to support their software if the files are on Samba (Linux). They (like a lot of people I've heard) say "We don't support Linux, Goodbye." even when the client is on Win98/NT. We have been having trouble on a particular site, and they refuse to support Sage Line 50 if the files are on Linux which is absurd, because Linux is much more

Hi all, I am having some strange problems on a customer site : I am pretty sure I disabled oplocks entirely - I don't like the idea of them, and would rather have stable data. The customer (5-10 users) runs Sage Line 50, and until recently was getting numerous errors within sage. We have temporarily replaced their switch and this has reduced the fatality rate and a few

Odd. I installed that hotfix on my workstation and it seems fine. Wonder what's different about your configuration? I noticed there were a fair number of issues with various packages listed in the release notes... -----Original Message----- From: Martyn Ranyard [mailto:mranyard@inter.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 12:09 PM To: Samba List Subject: [Samba] Re: NT4 SP7 Don't do

OK! I'm sorry about this. As I wrote earlier I'm totally lost... but I will try to explain the problem in steps bellow, ok. 1. I installed the rpm's for samba, Version 2.0.2a-ssl I think this is the version distributed with redhat linux 7.0 2. Then I changed the parameters in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file, and in this file I added the folowing parameters. [global] netbios name

Guess what, after I posted I came across the list of hotfixes for after SP6 for NT4. It's basically SP7 under any other name - but requires SP6a installed. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q299444& It's a whopping 13.99 Mb to download (or if you believe IE's figures more than their website, 14.1 )

Hi all, Thought I'd post this to the list as I found a better way of doing it. Nice to have for posterity. Please include it in the source of samba if you wish - I hereby license it under GPL 1. install ghostscript (most distributions include it anyway) 2. put the following in the file /usr/sbin/pdfprint and make it executable by whatever your guest user for samba is : #!/bin/bash

I'm having a couple of problems getting samba to process /etc/printcap properly. The printer definition lines of my /etc/printcap are: epson|lp|uniprint-letter-auto-mono|Epson Stylus Color 800 (mono, 360x360):\ color|epson_color|lp1|uniprint-letter-auto-mono|Epson Stylus Color 800 (color, 360x360):\ med|epson_med|lp2|uniprint_stc800p-letter-auto-mono|Epson Stylus Color 800 (mono, 720x720):\

Hello, I am running Windows XP and Windows NT workstations on a lan with a samba 2.2.4 server providing files and printers to these workstations. I have the following printers shared by samba: HP LaserJet 1200 Epson Stylus Color 3000 Epson Stylus Pro XL HP DesignJet 755 CM HP DesignJet 2500 CP The problem I am having is that Windows XP and Windows NT are using different drivers for the same

Hi all, I was investigating the SMB signing problems between Win2k clients and Windows XP servers and thought I'd take a look to see if there were any hotfix patches for Win2k that were post service pack 2.

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

Hi, I recently installed a new samba server to replace an older Novell machine. Now, we are having performance issues. I have installed many samba servers, and have not run into this problem before. Some background info: The server is an Athlon 1800+ w/ 512MB DDR RAM. We are using software raid on 80GB IDE ATA 100 drives with the VIA 82C3XX chipset. When mirroring the drives, we usually get

Hi, Having a very odd problem with a printer that I've had up and running for over a year now with no previous issues. There have been no software or hardware updates recently that should have affected it. The printer is managed via CUPS and its details are loaded from the CUPS printcap. At some point late on the afternoon of the 11th, samba started rejecting print jobs sent to it.

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 set up a new printer on my Linux box, an Epson Stylus Color 740. I had previously been using an EPson Stylus Color IIs. I got the printer working nicely in Linux, but I can not print to the printers I set up in /etc/printcap via samba from NT anymore. I.e., it worked with the IIs, but not with the 740. I didn't change anything in smb.conf. NT lets me install the printers via samba, but

I can't seem to find an answer or a workaround, and I've received stoney silence on this one. There aren't any answers in the archives (well, I didn't find any in the hours on several days I spent, anyhow). I'm convinced that I can't be the *only* one with this problem, nor am I convinced that there is absolutely no one who can help. Please feel free to jump in with

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

Printing seems like a popular subject here lately. ;) I have an Epson Stylus Color IIs which I had connected to my Linux box. It was mapped on my NT box, and everything worked fairly well (except for the print quality--NT drivers for that printer suck). So, I bought a new printer--an Epson Stylus Color 740. I hooked it up to Linux, made the necessary changes to /etc/printcap, and printed some
