similar to: Automatic Printer Driver Downloading - Does it work?

Hello, I have a bunch of Windows XP Pro machines, Samba 2.2.4, and several plotters on Jetdirect cards, and several printers on Netport 10/100 Muli-port network print servers. I have successfully configured Samba 2.2.4 to allow Windows XP to join the domain controlled by Samba and automaticaly create its own computer account on Samba. I would now like to setup Samba to share all the printers

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

Good day good people, I have troubble with printing. I have samba 3.0.14a-Debian, on Debian Stable Sarge. There is my smb.conf # Global parameters [global] dos charset = CP852 unix charset = ISO8859-2 workgroup = IRIXAS server string = Samba Irix a.s. null passwords = Yes obey pam restrictions = Yes pam password change = Yes passwd

Ok, here's my setup: I've had a samba file server going for about a year now. It's Samba v2.05a on a RH6.0 sys. Currently we have a printer server running on a Winblows NT box. This NT box has the following printers: HP5si, (4) HP4000, and a few HP4s. All of those printers have Jet Direct ports on them. What I want to do is, move all the printers over to the Samba box and KILL the NT

I've been experiencing a problem with the automatic printer driver download function described in printer_driver2.html under Samba 2.2.5 on Red Hat 7.2. I believe that I have followed the doc correctly and in fact the driver uploads/downloads seem to work if I use a small driver set (like the Apple Laserwriter v23.0) that comes with Windows NT 4.0. The problem is that I cannot seem to

Hi! First of all, I have to admit that it is my first post on this list, so please be lenied toward me, if I don't obey some of the rules ;-) I'll try my best :-) I am just trying to get my samba-server work as a print server by using CUPS. The OS of the server is Gentoo Linux and I'm using samba-3.0.9-r1. The clients are win 2k/xp home. I can already see my shares (files and

Hi, I tried to upgrade samba on a Linux from 2.2.8a to 3.0.0, and after the upgrade the printer sharing fails. I would like to participate in the search for the bug (if it is a bug), but I don't know how to start. If this is not a bug I would like to know why not, and how to work around, that the printer does not work with the attached smb.conf, while it works with samba version 2.2.8a

I have SLOW file transfers across samba to my Windows Server 2000 domain. I am using a built in 100bT Intel Pro NIC, I have tried the built in gigabit NIC and a PCI 3com, all with the same results. Using iperf, I get about 45-90Mb of bandwidth from my PC's to my samba server. I can pull it up by \\servername <file:///\\servername> or \\ipaddress <file:///\\ipaddress> with out

Hi, we are trying to set printer properties with the prnadmin.dll from the windows 2000 resource kit. The printers are shared by a samba 2.2.8a, spoolingsystem is Cups. We are using the windows drivers to process the job, the queues are set as raw-queues on cups. For some models[1] setting the properties via a dumped file works without any Problems. For some other printermodels[2] it

I've had this problem as long as I've been using samba: every time anyone prints from a PC they get a banner page labeling them 'nobody.' Now, I realize this has to do with the guest account being 'nobody,' and the server is passing that name to the printer. It can get very frustrating, though, when lots of folks use the same printer and all of the jobs have the same name

At the moment I've no host with which to test ppp/lp things on. If you (or anyone) could provide complete regexes, (each beginning with ^ and ending with $) I will patch the rules accordingly. If not, sending the full log lines is a good start. Thanks! -- [ Todd J. Troxell ,''`. Student, Debian GNU/Linux Developer, SysAdmin, Geek :

I am having problems printing to a Samba printer from my Windows 2000 machines. While eventually it does print, it takes an extremely long time. The test page takes over 5 minutes to print. I have tracked it to the Samba spooling process. The delay is in Windows sending the information to the Samba spool. If I look in the Samba spool directory during the print process, the file size increases very

I run Samba 2.2.8 on my Red Hat 9. Both smbd and nmbd are running OK. ps -aux | grep mbd shows the 2 processes, plus, smbclient works fine, thanks to Christopher. The Samba server resides on a host with IP 10.10.6.31. I got this from the smbclient run below: [root@RedHat samba]# smbclient //REDHAT/test -U jack added interface ip=10.10.6.31 bcast=10.10.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0 Password: And

I have a shared printer on an NT server and I am trying to print to it from a unix machine running Solaris 2.7 and Samba 2.04. Can someone help me out please?

I set up printing IAW: http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/printing.html I've confirmed the drivers are being installed to /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86. Yet I am unable to print even a test page. I get the following error: "Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print trouble shooter for assistance? Access is denied." And I get the following errors in my samba

Hi there. I've had Samba running fo a while now on a machine that we use as a shared file store. Not everyone who uses it has an account on the linux machine, so it's setup with "security = share" to allow guest access to some of the shares. But I've now attached a printer that I dont want guest access to. This might be something really simple that I'm missing, but I

I'm afraid I am stumped, and need some help or pointers. Ever since I've "upgraded" my Win2k boxes to SP4, I've been unable to print to Samba-shared printers (on Solaris and Freebsd). Originally I was running the current 2.2.x, and figured trying to diagnose the problem would provide an impetus for trying 3.0, which I have from beta3 through RC1. That bit of history is

I'm trying to setup a print server for Samba clients to use. I have a HP LaserJet 4 connected to /dev/lp0 and I'm using the LPRng spooling package. Documents printed from Windows clients make it to the printer. However the printed documents, mostly Excel/Word documents, have various abberations on them. Graphical flaws, the text seems fine. In addition I seem to get 2 copies for some

Is there a way foe me to get the print job name to be something other than "remote downlevel job"? All my jobs are now printing flawless except for this. I would like to be able to get a file name or program at least. Thanks Tony McGrew www.multicam.com
