similar to: Frustrated with Samba and CUPS

Seriously. I can't afford to be down much longer or I'm going to be in serious trouble. Running Redhat 7.2. Here's the scoop: Cups is installed and running. Samba is installed and running and is sharing files properly to 100+ people. I can print a test page from the Cups web-interface. I can print a test page by "cat foo | lpr" or "cat foo | lpr.cups" no

Hi all... I need to make a few queries to WINS, but am unsure how to do so. 'nmblookup' will allow me to enter an IP address and get information about the machine name, domain, and username. I want to do the opposite...I would like to have a tool that will take a username and return the IP address. I know this information is stored in WINS somehow, and I am capable of writing some Perl

I'm running samba 2.2.2-6 on a redhat 7.2 box running 2.4.9-7 kernel... I'm trying to upload printer drivers from a Windows 2000 client. I've followed the instructions in the samba howto collection. I've created the print$ share, created the printer directory and subdirs, and made sure they are writeable by me. I put myself in the write list and the printer admin list.

Nope, doesn't work, and I need the drivers to be available and read from the linux server. The PPD files do contain one which is specific to my printer and has worked on another machine. -----Original Message----- From: Blake Patton [mailto:pattonb@spots.ca] Sent: May 31, 2002 11:32 AM To: WEBSTER, Greg Subject: RE: [Samba] I will pay you $10US (via Paypal) out of my own pocket if you can

I've experienced something like this, as well. Though I don't know if this will help, I would make sure that your NT username(s) are appropriately mapped to unix users. You may not be able to view the properties because the permissions/mapped user are mixed up. You can check this by doing a smbstatus - the user names listed as connected are the unix usernames that have been mapped to.

On friday I was having a heck of a time using Samba...especially in regard to CUPS and printing. I posted on the list some big questions about my setup and what could be done with it, and was a little disheartened not to get an answer. Later that day, completely out of the blue, I received a long-distance call from John H. Terpstra, one of the Samba lead people. He must have tracked down my

Boy this was a big scary headache! As well, I really wish the samba upgrade didn't wipe my changes to /etc/pam.d/samba and /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb (back them up instead, please). Situation: Upgrading Samba from 2.2.4 to 2.2.5. Samba is using winbindd for authentication. Problem: Under 2.2.4, smb.conf originally contained a password server specified by IP address: password server

Listers, I encountered a problem with samba (2.2.7a) when I was setting CUPS (1.1.14) up. I set it up through the web interface, setting the appropriate values in smb.conf: [global] <snip> printing = cups load printers = yes printcap name = cups [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no public = yes

I have also posted this to the CUPS general group, but thought that it was also a relevant post for this list. ------- I have samba-2.2.8a on RedHat 7.2. This has been a stable setup for quite some time, printing works as advertised. However, attempting to control the queues and print jobs is another story. As an aside, the Linux box is a domain member that does pass through authentication

we are migrated CENTOS from 4.X to 5.2 on seperate DELL servers.? For printer definition migrate on CENTOS 4.X , we can use following command: ??? printconf-tui --Ximport < printers.xml I can not find "printconf-tui" command on CENTOS 5.2.? Does anyone know how to migrate printer configuration on CENTOS 5.2? Thanks.

Hello all. The set up: - Kernel 2.4.18-3 - HP Office Jet K80. - USB port - hpoj-0.8 driver I've been struggling installing and configuring the new driver for Linux/USB printing, due to a couple of silly mistakes. The question here is are there any differences in setting up a print server using this new driver than the usual

I'm getting really frustrated again...please help. Would someone please answer these questions and maybe I can figure out what is wrong with my installation: 1. I can add printers in CUPS, and they show up in Samba (after a 'service smb restart'). I can see them when I surf to \\waifer <file://\\waifer> (the name of the Samba server), but when I double-click on them there, it

Hi, as I saw someone today pointing to a solution for protected directories in the recycle dir (thanks Ben!), I wanted to compile the modified recycle.c. I'm using Mandrake 9.0, I have kernel-source, kernel-header and all basic development tools installed, including the libtool package; I downloaded the Samba 2.2.7a sources, applied the patch, but I cannot compile the library. Following

Hello All. Thanks for the help so far. I've managed to get the 'access denied' error to disappear with the suggestion of 'use client driver = yes'. This worked, Thanks. By the way, I'm running Samba 2.2.3a I'm still not printing though. I removed the printers I configured using 'printconf-tui' and added a new local printer device, using /dev/usb. This was

Hello all, I have setup a Samba NT domain using OpenLDAP for authentication (compiling samba 2.2.3a with the LDAP option). One linux box holds the OpenLDAP server and is also a samba server (local master, software, doc), another acts as the PDC (holds user dirs) and redirect authentication requests to the former. It works perfectly well with an heterogeneous set of machines (linux-samba clients,

I have just upgraded a RedHat 6.2 box from Samba 2.0.10 to Samba 2.2.5 in one of our elementary school buildings because we now have some w2k boxes that must log to the domain. I'm now getting an error on initializing the locking modules when I run smbstatus. I did the upgrade remotely so I don't know yet whether workstations work properly with the upgrade.

Hi I recently tried to install the printerdriver to the samba server (samba 3.0alpha30 on debian) from a windows 2000 client. The APW asked me for a Win2k-server cd for the winnt drivers, although i had them on a disc...which I don't have 2 Questions: 1) does anybody know why the APW will not accept my winnt driver from the driver disc when i comes to install the winnt driver 2) is it

I am running RH8 with Samba 2.2.6. I am attempting to connect a Win2k box to my Linux box. I "see" Linux in Network Neighborhood, I can ping the Win2k BIOS name, and I can ping the Linux box BIOS name. However When I click on accessing linux I get resource not available. And when I run smbstatus I get the following: Samba version 2.2.6 Service uid gid pid machine
