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'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 the following in my /etc/samba/smb.conf, yet i still cannot print from a Windows desktop client. I can see the printer and it goes through the motions of setting up the printer, it just doesn't print. It gives an error message about the network name cannot be found. Yet if I browse thru network neighborhood I can see the printer. What I see thouh is a name for the printer called

Running RH6.0 I am able to print just fine from linux, the problem now is getting smb printing working. I am using an Intel Netport Express PRO/100 printserver. Previous to my upgrade from RH5.2 when I had the printer directly connected to the samba server, I was able to print just fine from the windows client machines (not using the raw method) My /etc/printcap is as follows ##PRINTTOOL3##

It's not only the name, I just found out... I have an OfficeJet 570, and the following entry in my smb.conf would result in a persistent Paused status: [HP570] comment = OfficeJet 570 by HP450C Plotter path = /var/spool/samba/hp570 writeable = no printable = yes printer name = hp570 use client driver = no Changing the comment to "HP570

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've got a problem with printing on a Windows 2K box. Printing from that box to a samba server via the normal print mechanism works fine. The problem is when the person needs to print to a lpt port. The capture succeeds, but when the file is copied to lpt2 it never gets printed. There are other machines that can do the capture and copy to the lpt port but they are Win 9x. The

G'day All, We are using Samba 3.0.6 as a PDC and print server. The OS is RHEL 3.0. I've gone thru the procedure detailed in "The Official Samba Howto..." book and the other HP and Lexmark LaserJet printers work properly using the postscript drivers. However, HP 1055CM Color Plotter works best with the HPGL/2 drivers if the drivers are installed on the client workstation but, do

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

Can anyone give me a hand with printing. Does hosts.lpr need the ips of the windows machines that I want to print from? I am running Mandrake 6.0 on a P-166. The P-166 has the printer attached to it. It can print just fine and another linux box can also print just fine over the network. My Windows box sees the printer and installs it just fine. The test page however never prints. No error

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

Hello, I sent this request already last week, but got no answer (maybe I did not use a good subject). My problem is the following: I use server side drivers with samba 2.2.5 and cups. I add them usually with cupsaddsmb. This works quite well, but I have trouble with printers with really large papersizes. I have some HP Designjet in our Network, we need for our mechanical engineers, as well as

I'm using an old Intel netport printserver that loads it application code form a netbios resource. As I don't have (or want) a Win station on my network I thought I can use samba for that issue. The problem now is that this itel netport tries to login with user=netport and NO password. So I set up a ressource like this: [NETPORT] comment = Intel Netport RBL file path =

Hi: Is there an easy way to add a HP 5si printer using a Jetdirect interface, to share with my lan?? Maybe some config help?? Thanks a lot -- Facundo Agustin Barrera IT Management. Buenos Aires - Argentina.

I've googled for this and poked around linuxprinting.org, but couldn't find anything helpful. I have a CentOS 5 server with an HP LaserJet 4 attached via JetDirect with the hplip driver. The problem is that when I have multiple print jobs in the queue, there is a delay of about 15 seconds between each job. This gets very annoying when there are 10-15 one-page jobs in the queue.

Anyone manage to print to an NDPS printer. The Server is NW5 and there is no Bindery context or ques. When trying to print a test page I just get and error saying there was an error. I could print as a JetDirect que, but I can't seem to get it to work. I put in the IP address and can ping it, I just can't print to it. It asks for a Que name but I am not sure what to put in for a

Hello, after installing the openjdk 1.6 packages from centos testing the webinterface of my hp jetdirect 300x printserver doesn't work anymore. The webpage is loaded but the applets don't start - no java console and no error messages are shown. Tested with Firefox 3 Beta 5 and Opera 9.5 Beta 2 Can anyone confirm this? -- Heiko Adams <heiko.adams at gmail.com> -------------- next

Any problems serving up this plotter with Samba 2.2.4? I am using RH 7.3, the plotter has a jetdirect card. I am not using samba print drivers, just passing it through raw to 192.168.21.50:raw1. Planning to let windows 98 clients use their own drivers. I couldn't get a job to print (from linux or windows). I ran out of time for today, picking up again on Monday. Any gotcha's I need to

I am trying to set up a jetdirect plotter in our network (samba server running un suse linux 6.2). When I start printing from on of the windows boxes everything seems fine but the printing files only show up in the spooling directories on the samba server. The plotter (HP Designjet 650 C) never receives anything. Here are the relevant parts of my smb.conf and my printcap file: PRINTCAP:
