similar to: Uploading printer drivers to Samba

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.

Hi there I just installed the above mentioned system and try to print from a W2k box to the Samba box but nothing happens. There's no problem in printing from the RH box or via Webmin but when I try to print from the W2k box nothing happens. I don't get an error or anything. I installed the printer by the help of the add printer tool in RH, and simply go to the Printer--->Add

Hi again Thank you all for helping me out, really appreciate it. Works like a charm now, I added [global] printing = cups printcap name = lpstat load printers = yes and in [printers]-section: [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes

I've had this problem for a while, but only recently have I realized that I better fix it soon! I compile my own Wine out of git. Currently, I'm running wine-0.9.29-g5441536 but this issue appeared long before that. Moreover, I stopped being able to print between Wine updates, so I don't think it is anything to do with changes in Wine's code. The simplest way to reproduce my

I'm using Samba 3.0 on a Debian Sarge server, and am trying to upload printer drivers from a Windows client. I connect to the server using the root credentials (yes I know ...), but every time I get an "access denied" message when the driver upload process starts. I can perform other root functions via this connection no problem. I have uploaded drivers this way in the past but

I am running samba and I am trying to get it to upload/download printer drivers. When I go into the "Printers and Faxes" folder, or just "Printers" on win2k, it shows my 2 printers, on WinXP I right click on raw1 and go to properties, it asks to install the driver, if I click yes, it takes me through the add printer wizard, which lets me select my printer driver, but apparently

Hi, I am attempting to configure our samba server for print driver download. The server itself was installed from RedHat 7.3 and has been configured to used cups instead of lpd/lprng. After studying the documentation on cups/samba, I decided to try the Adobe driver install. I used the cupsaddsmb program to perform the driver install, which works fine except for the "rpcclient

Hi, I recently upgraded my Samba server from 3.0.2a to 3.0.14a running on Solaris 8. I made the assumption that all my printer definitions would be retained including driver information/files as long as the share containing all the files was still there. Although I still see the actual printers in the list of printers, it seems that they no longer know what drivers they use. When I attempt to

Hi, I am having this problem with the uploading of printer drivers to my Samba server's print$ share: I am logged in on my Win XP machine as user "root" and connected to the Samba server as user root.

If the driver is a "standard" driver (the driver is on the Windows/XP CD) all is ok. If the driver is on a floppy or on a CD that comes with the printer, then the PC where I start the upload return a memory error and the driver is not uploaded. Can someone help

Hello, I'm trying to set up a CentOS 4.4 print server. I've attached a Usb Hp Deskjet 5150 printer to the box, and printed a test page. This worked fine, using cups.
