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. E Furthermore when I print a file on my Windows machine it creates a file on the server but it just doesn't print. I can ma Do you guys have the answer for me??? Thnx, ? Jeroen ? Following is the config file: ? # Samba config file created using

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

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

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 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

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

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. After the installation Windows XP open the

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.

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. If you need to change the settings, contact your network administrator." Merlin is the name of our samba server. Also, when I try click on properties, nothing happens

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.

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:

Hello all, I've got a strange problem with Samba 2.2.4. I'm able to associate print drivers to printers (raw queue in cups). My clients are able to see that the drivers belong to the printers, and they download them, but as soon as the server reboots, I lose my driver associations and I need to once again specify a driver on the windows end. The Print server was an upgrade from Samba

My printing system is working beautifully thanks to SAMBA. Thanks! Except that 5 times now, user nobody connected to the printer successfully and printed! User nobody can not log onto the domain. It seems to happen if you print immediately after you log on. I logged on as my test user and printed immidiately. The job went through as user nobody. 5 minutes later I printed again, and that time I

Hello We have one Samba 2.2.5-pre running as PDC of our domain, in one Solaris 7 box. There are also a winNT 4 machine used as a Printer Server (we prefer to use another machine to print services). After one printer instalation, on printer server, I try to configure permissions in the "Security" tab, "Permissions" button. I click in "Add" button and include

Hi, I've just started toying with the idea of deploying a number of our printers via samba. I'm trying to get the current HP device drivers for a HP 4+ (from HP's site) to upload. The workstations I am trying the upload from are either running Win 2000 SP2 or Win XP Professional. Using 2.2.5pre1, I can't convince a printer driver to upload using the Add Printer Driver Wizard -

Hi (Samba 225, Sol 2.8) Well.....for anyone that's interested.. I decided to try the printer upload/download support in 225. So far I've been inconsistently able to upload and download drivers. When uploading, sometimes I'll get the message described in the HOW-TO docs and when I do it seems to upload OK. But then when I attempt to install the printer on a client, I get prompted

I have done a foolish thing and I would like help undoing it! I have managed to add drivers for all of the printers on my Samba server, using the "Add printer driver wizard." They are in print$ (/usr/local/samba/printers/W32X86) The ones for my Win95 and 98 clients are in /usr/local/samba/printers/WIN40 but they are Wrong! I cannot use the "Server Properties" tab in the
