similar to: XP: Access denied to printer share but it still works

Hi, after updating our printserver from Samba V2.0.6 to V2.2.7 I encountered the following problem. Samba does not execute the (root) pre- and postexec within the printers section. If you are using these command in another section everything works fine. Does anybody know if these command are not supported in the printers section anymore? smb.conf: [global] ... load printers = yes lpq cache

Hi guys, I've installed Samba but can't get the printer to work. I've done magicfilterconfig --force and configured the Printer.

I have a Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf) Samba 2.2.4 PDC and fileserver built with --with-ldapsam. The clients are either win9x or WinY2k. Authenitcation, etc... all works great. But print sharing is a real pain. Under 2.2.1a printing worked great, but our VOIP phone system wouldn't joint the domain until we upgraded to 2.2.4. Initial testing of 2.2.4 made it seem like everything

Hi, my problem is to access a shared printer with samba on my WindowsXP workstation When I browse thru my network with Explorer, I can see the shared printer. When I double-clic on the printer, Windows XP ask me if I want to install it. I choose the right driver and click "OK". The installation begin and there is no error in the installation.

My samba server works in a NT 4.0 domain. The users can print fine (mostly Win9x). Now i'm trying to use Win2K workstation to upload drivers. I can see the printers, the properties are available but we i try to add a driver it fails with the following error : "Can't install driver Intel Windows 2000. Can't compleet statement" (translated from dutch). I've include my

A stupid question. With new printing system (spoolss) how people restrict access to the printers ? It was clear with the old system when each printer was in a separate share. I could assign a list of valid users for each printer share. TIA. -- Yuri Pismerov, Sr. System Administrator, TUCOWS.COM INC. (416) 535-0123 ext. 1352

I have upgraded samba to 2.2.7a and cannot print to my printer attached to my BSD machine. I can use the share dirs, etc, but cannot print. My log file contains: [2003/03/17 16:17:19, 0] lib/util_sock.c:open_socket_in(804) bind failed on port 139 socket_addr = 0.0.0.0.

I installed the printer patch on 2.2.4 on my Linux 7.3 box, reconfigured it (I think I did things in the correct order:configure,make realclean,run patch,configure,make,sh.makerpms.sh), created a new rpm, uninstalled the old samba, reinstalled the new rpm, fixed the conf files, reloaded samba and now my printers appear as "HPLASERJET on _smbserver". HPLASERJET is queue name which is

I have a hopefully simple question (although my previous questions I thought were simple received no responses.lol). I am trying to get the automatic printer driver downloading working. I followed all the instructions, but I'm still having some problems. When I get to adding the printer driver by navigating to the printer share (print$) and selecting properties on the printer, then doing the

Hi, I trying to print a label printer that is attached to a windows95 machine. The job is sent to the printer queue on the linux machine (Red Hat 7.3), but never printed on the printer. When I check the status of the print queue on the linux machine, I get the following: [root@S12601 syn]# lpq -Pbinpos Printer: binpos@S12601 Queue: no printable jobs in queue Server: no server active Status:

Hy there, I have a problem with Samba 2.2.5 (on AIX 4.3) concerning a printer share. I set up a few printer share which work well. Now I want to restrict the access to one of them. In order to achieve this I put in a hosts deny=all hosts allow=<IP-Adresses of hosts, which should be allowed to print> in the corresponding printer-share-section. What happens is this: non

Hello, I have scoured the samba archives, and have found a few suggestions to this problem, like setting registry setting on the Windows machine to allow clear text passwords, and making sure permissions are setup correctly in the smb.conf and with the directory to share... but to no avail... Can someone shed some further light on this topic. None of the prior posting's actually had a

Hello, I recently upgraded our file server from RedHat6.2 to RedHat7.2. This upgraded our (working) Samba 2.0.x to 2.2.1a-4. Now, the windows98 machines on the network can print without problems. The 2K/NT4 machines cannot print, but they experience no problems with file sharing operations (writeable /home/$USER). The 2K/NT4 machines had been printing fine prior to the upgrade. I won't

Hello all. When I use outlook express and try see the printer, it says "print$ on Merlin - Paused", and I can't unpause it, I get: "You do hot have permission to modify the settings for this printer.

I am having a bit of a problem getting my Samba printer configuration to work with Windows XP(I am running samba on Linux Redhat 7.3). My other shares seem to work as I can find my files on the my Linux system using XP. I have used redhat 7.3 kde printer configurations to create the appropriate files. The result is when I try to send a print job the printer kicks into to gear but only a blank

hey I am running Samba 2.2.8 on FreeBSD4.8, and all is working well, except: I have set up a virtual printer using Samba to take a print job, turn it into a pdf and then email it back to an address, using a perl script and the Samba print command. I have tested the script logging in as the Samba guest user and it works fine, but when i try to print to the printer it never works: the script is

Hi all, I've got a problem with WindowsXP i samba 2.2.3a-6. When I want to work with samba with any other Windows everything is OK but when I try to get something by samba from WindowsXP first of all I have to wait by 3-5 minutes and after that time transfers are all right. It seen to be something with login to domain, maybe XP is waiting for some kind of signal from samba and after that

In the documentation the "oplocks = yes" option is give in an example, as the default for this parameter. However, I needed to turn oplocks off, and so assumed that the command "oplocks = no" would work. It doesn't, instead I found that "oplocks = false" does. There needs to be some boolean fixing done, or at least documentation should reflect this strangeness.
