Hi, I have a Samba PDC (2.2.7) and a win98se workstation using user-level access control. The win98 pc has 2 shares, a directory and a printer. The shares on the workstation are setup with full control for "Domain Users". I can list the shares (smbclient -L //pcname) and can connect to the shared directory, list files, etc. However if I try to connect to the printer, I get this error

Hello! Where is info about printer drivers stored? I mean that driver is installed for this printer? I played with 2.2.0 configuration- remake srpm with different options and after rpm installation I needed to install printers again and again- files are in place, but NT4 said that NO DRIVER :( btw, sometimes I get error that alternate driver can't be installed when installed drivers for win9x

We have a samba 2.2.3a-12.3 for Debian running, and something odd in printing. We use CUPs as linux print server. When we print from a w2k station, prints come out the printer, but the printer window reports a cycle of messages: - initializing printer - opening printer - failed to open, retrying what can be the cause? parts of the smb.conf: ============== [global] printcap

I've been upgrading a client's systems from Win98SE to WinXP and am having an unexpected problem. I have 2 Linux servers. One is a print and fax server which has worked fine with the Win98 workstations. They can browse and find the printer (an HP LaserJet 5Si) and print without problems. The server itself is also running HylaFax and is printing with out a problem. The XP systems

Hi: I am new to the Samba world and I am having problems with printing. I have Samba installed on a Solaris 8 server. I can see the Samba shares and the printer (lasersys) in Windows Explorer. I have installed the printer on my workstation (NT 4.0) using the Windows 'Add Printer' wizard. However, when I send a print job to the printer (Wordpad:File > Print) the job never gets to the

Ok... here we go, I have a server running RH 7.3, samba 2.2.3a, and CUPS 1.1.14. All the printers we have are networked printers sitting off of Linksys printservers. On this server I am sharing all off our printers out via Samba. See my smb.conf file below. This server works perfectly. All printers are shared out successfully. Primary CUPS server: [global] workgroup = NEW

Hi, I saw your message on the SAMBA web site and thought you might have heard of this problem and a possible solution. I'm running Samba 1.9.17p5 on a SUN Ultra-1 and it appears that the lprm command is being completely ignored by the system, which seems to be inserting an lpstat -o command instead. I did a level 5 debug and have been looking over the C code pretty closely but can't see

Greetings, We are running Samba 2.2.0a on Slackware 8.0 w/2.2.19 kernel with a mix of Windows 98SE and Windows2000 Pro clients (about 60 98SE clients and 10 Win2k Pro clients). We aspire for this box to be a fax server using Hylafax 4.1.2 and smbfax 1.4. Everything works fine for the Win98SE clients using the HP IIP PS Cartridge printer driver from the 'Add Printer' wizard from Windows.

Hi Here the problem. I am using samba 2.0.10 on sparc Solaris 8 platform in a Nis env. Currently we have about 100 or so printers listed in printers.conf nis map, these printers cover our 5 sites which all use the same nis env. Each site has one Domain master, and a local master on any separate subnets, as not all is in the same domain. When ours users log into a samba server they are

Hi, I'm running Samba printing services to share a printer on my Linux box with a network of windows machines. Everything works great. The only problem I am having is that I cannot count the number of pages printed by each user. My printers section looks like this: [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = no guest ok = no path = /var/spool/samba printable = yes public

We have been using CUPS to handle printing and have run into some "features" some of which a fresh install of the responsible server will probably fix. However there are some disparities between the documentation and our practical experience for which a clear statement would help others. The docs state when using CUPS the relevent lines of SMB.CONF should look like this: printing=cups

I am using Mandrake 10 as a file and print server on for my home network. All of my PC clients can print successfully to the epson stylus c60 that I have attached to the printer. My Mac, using OS X (10.3) cannot. It says that it cannot find the printer .. Is there a special setting that I must use in the smb.conf file? #======================= Global Settings

Hi, My network has samba 2.2.2 installed on Sun with lprng and NT 4.0 workstations. Samba acts as PDC for these workstations. I am using priting through samba. I am using 'disable spoolss = yes' option which means the drivers are on installed on client side and are not downloaded from the server. So all these printers (on Samba) act as Local printers on NT machines. As I am
