I recently set up samba-2.2.3a on FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE. I'm having troubles getting printing to work. I have LPRng-3.76 installed, and it works just fine using the command line tools. When I print from a windows client over smb, however, I can see the job go into the spool directory, but then it magically vanishes, with nothing in any log files. Has anyone experienced this type of strange

Hi Peter, i had a long, frunstrating web surfing yesterday night, searching for something that could apply to your case. I didn't find much at all, sorry. The only thing perhaps interesting to you could be this: http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/printer_driver2.html This doc contains a section about migrating from 2.0.x to 2.2.x I think the problem lyes in the new way samba

Hello I am running RH7.2 with samba-common-2.2.1a-4 and samba-client-2.2.1a-4 and for printing I use a windows printer (SMB share). Previously this printserver was running under WinNT, and for the installation of this printer I used the installation wizard under RH7.2. Furthermore no modifications were made to the SMBclient (smb.conf) nor the WinNT printserver. Recently, they upgraded the

I have set-up a Samba server (FreeBSD 4.5 release and Samba 2.2.2) which is used in our Office as a PDF-converter. The Server gets the file as a Postscript file using a Samba Printer share and then sends it back to the user by e-mail. This all works excellent using Win2000 on the clients. The user prints to the share PDF using a Postscript driver, the print job gets sent and a few seconds later

I am using Mandrake 8.0 (on /dev/hda5) with Windows 2000 (on /dev/hda2) mounted as /mnt/win2000 and the windows swap file (on /dev/hdb12) mounted as /mnt/k. I installed wine-20010305-1.i386.rpm and then ran winesetup. When it got to Autodetect I got following message: Unable to detect any users on WinNT/2k partition mounted on /mnt/k. This means that this windows installation is probably

I just wanted to make it clear, that I think all my problems are stemming from not being able to connect to the samba server as an admin account. both "root" and "panderson" are in the smbpasswd file, with valid passwords that I set. I just can't get authenticated as either user, unless I explicitly set a share to not allow access to anyone but one of those users. I.e., the

Hi! I'm trying to set drivers for printers such that they will automatically download onto winNT/W2K clients. I've followed the instructions in printer_drivers2.html (I'm using samba 2.2.5). my questions: -do I have to define each printer individually in smb.conf? I know you do for the "old" style of printing, the style that didn't work with NT or W2K. here's what I

Hello all. I'm in the process of getting roaming profiles up and running on a RH 7.3 installation, running as a PDC on an 'NT Domain'. I've been reading the PROFILES.txt, and need to clear some things up. Do the rules that apply for WinNT, apply to Win2000, specifically the NTConfig.Pol file. If it does, I can't find it on either the samba server or the Win2000 machine,

Hi all, I have Samba 2.2.2 running on a Linux 7.1 box. 4 machines connected to a WinNT Server via a hub. The 4 machines are WinNT Server, WinNT Workstation, Win2000 and Linux running Samba Server. With Samba running (see testparm for samba configuration details) I can logon and access files on the Linux machine using the WinNT Workstation but cannot access the Samba server using the WinNT Server

Hi folks, From my RedHat Linux box Im using smbclient L to obtain the list of shares on a particular computer in the network. I use guest as user name or just omit the user name. I can get the list of shares on every single Linux or Win9X machines in the network but I cannot obtain the list of shares on Win2000 and Win NT machines. Here is what I tried: [user1@linuxbox user1]$ smbclient

Hi, I am having a problem with automating the download of printer drivers from a Samba 2.2.8 server. We used to use the server with he following options set: use client driver = yes disable spoolss = yes However these options have now been removed from smb.conf. Following the instructions available in printer_driver2.htm (supplied in docs/htmldocs in the source), I can add a printer driver to

Hy there, I have a problem with Samba 2.2.5 (on AIX 4.3) concerning a printer share. I set up a few printer share which work well. Now I want to restrict the access to one of them. In order to achieve this I put in a hosts deny=all hosts allow=<IP-Adresses of hosts, which should be allowed to print> in the corresponding printer-share-section. What happens is this: non

I've installed samba in my linux machine (Mandrake 7.2). With WinNT and Win2000 there is no problems, but in Win95 and Win98 It's impossible to read files, and open exixting folders, the error is: "the file (folder) don't exist". If I try to create one, It'isn't shown, there is an error, but if I go in machine with win2000 the folder(file) is there. How can I resolve

Hi List! I've got a problem that I've read about on the web several times now, regarding the uploading of printer drivers to the samba [print$] share. When I try to set the printer driver for an existing printer (HP LaserJet 6L enabled with CUPS) the W2K wizard let me select the driver *.inf file but when finishing I get the well known error message: "Unable to install Intel,
