Hello, It seems that I am in printer hell once again :) I am trying to sort out some printer problems with our UNIX server. The basic problem is this. I have a test server to K.I.S.S the problem. On this server I have defined two queues which are csqlis and HPfinley. csqlis seems to work correctly and displays ready. HPfinley always reads Paused on win2k and NT40 clients. The output of the lpq

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.

I have encountered a strange printing problem with Samba 2.2.4 running under HP-UX 11i. In the process of investigating a printing problem, I have found that Samba has stopped passing jobs along to the UNIX lp spooler as of yesterday afternoon. When NT/W2K clients print to printers on my server, the jobs are accepted, Samba spool files are created in the spool directory defined for the printer

I'm currently having a problem with the new released Samba 2.2.5: I cannot print anymore on my shared printer. What is strange is that It worked fine with samba 2.2.4, but now I got an access denied whenever I try to access the printer... /var/spool/lpd/samba is chmod 777 and the username is in the group lp Here is part of my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = HOME netbios name =

I've set up Samba and LPRng for HP printers with JetDirect cards. It works for one user at a time. But if the printer is off-line or busy, the samba client does not get an error message, but the job gets lost. :( I would like the print jobs to be spooled on Linux even when there is an active print job or when the printer is off-line. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with lpd. The

Hello. I use Linux 2.0.30(Red Hat) and Samba 1.9.16p. Clients are Win95, NT Workstations and Servers. I use Linux like printserver and bridge. And I have problem with my printer HP LaserJet 4MV with JetDirect card. It print 1 test page( or another 1 page) and print after it second page: User: root Host: LINUX Class: LINUX

Hi, I just installed 2 Win2K sp4 workstations on an otherwise working Samba 2.2.8a network and 2 of the 3 printers are showing "Access denied". What's up with that? The other computers that are working just fine are Win98, XP and Win2K NOT sp4. Here is part of the global section: printing = bsd load printers = yes disable spoolss = yes printcap name

Hi, I've been toying with the idea of using the Linux machine as a print server. I'm using RedHat 5.2 and Samba 2.0.3. I already have one remote printer share working... but I can't figure out where the PrintTool in RedHat is storing the remote printers IP address. Anyone know where? :) (not important just bugging me - I hate when OS's hide stuff) I have the Samba book

Good Afternoon, We recently added encrypted smb passwords to our site. I just tried to add a printer to samba and it will not work. I tried to connect to \\sambahost\printer and it will not connect. All the older printers still work. I just wonder if there is an extra step I need to perform now when I add printers? Thanks for your time, Bill -- William M. Fennell Network Administrator

I am having problems with the HP printers that are being handled by a Solaris 2.5.1 machine. The boring details are towards the end. The SAMBA print command I currently use is: print command = echo %u - %s to %p at %T >> /tmp/smb-print.log ; \ lpr -P %p %s ; \ rm %s ; These are EXACTLY the way they are in the smb.conf file. The server will print 99.9% of

<It seems that the print command is trying to find the printer at location 'localhost'. Since this is a network printer it is not at localhost is it?> Yeah, the error messages made no sense to me either! Well, like I said earlier: < The IP address of this printer is 10.1.1.192. I call this printer nero, and have it listed in my /etc/hosts file> Here is a copy of part of my

I'm converting my NT 4.0 Print Servers to Samba Print Servers. Which printing system should I be using? LPR, LPRng or CUPS. I would love to have some feedback on the advantages and disadvantages or what the Samba Team recommends as a standard for working wih Samba. In case you need it, my system is SuSE 7 kernel 2.2.16 running under VM on s/390. Thanks, Josh Konkol, CNE MCSE Senior

Hi, Is it possible to manage print queue's via windows clients. I get Access denied, unable to connect. I use the lp daemon to print via JetDirect. I am beginning to think it is not possible. If someone out there is doing this could you please share your configurations with us so it can be added to the samba How-to documentation. Respectfully, Nick

Try adding the 'sf' option to the printer definition in /etc/printcap. The 'sf' stands for 'suppress form feeds'. If this doesn't work, let me know and I'll send you a copy of my printer definition, since I had the same problem and was able to fix it with one of the options. -- Derek Pizzagoni I.T.

I had a problem with Samba 2.2.5 with the printers being permanantly paused to Windows machines. They could print OK - it was only the status that was wrong. The reason for this was because I had used the word office in the printer name / comment. This was causing the parser which recognises the printer status to find 'off' pausing the printer. A quick fix for this is to replace the

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

Hello, I just moved from SuSE 7.0 to SuSE 7.1 by reinstalling. I use HP 2100TN JetDirect printer. I use kernel-2.4.2, LPRng-3.6.26, ifhp-3.4.4, Samba-2.0.7 Printing from Linux server works just as before. Printing from Windows clients has problems. I set it up just like before but any print job from Windows takes its while and then spits out junk: -------------------------- ERROR: timeout

We have a HP Design Jet 650C Plotter which is hooked to the net via a jetdirect nic. Now I dont have a clue on how to use this plotter over the net. It doesent show up in the network neighborhood and I cant find anything about jetdirect plotters in the Linux documentation or the inet. The server is running Suse Linux 6.2 and Samba 2.05a.
