I have got the printing working with CUPS finally on all of my printer. Took a while but they are printing with no errors. What they are not doing is feeding back the print status, and not all of them are consistent. I have a HP2000C that gives me a failed to open retrying error in the W2k printers window. I have a minolta d350 that always comes back blank, even though there are maybe 50 jobs

I set it up as a raw printer using printconf. I added it to samba with swat and I get te\he following errors in my log. [2002/07/08 17:35:11, 0] rpc_server/srv_spoolss_nt.c:close_printer_handle(257) close_printer_handle: Invalid handle (OTHER) [2002/07/08 17:35:11, 0] rpc_server/srv_spoolss_nt.c:close_printer_handle(257) close_printer_handle: Invalid handle (OTHER) The printer name and the queue

Version info Samba 2.2.5 Cups 1.1.15 I have cups running and am printing out to the minolta 350 fine(network) from the w2k boxes. The (hopefully last) problem is on my windows boxes no print status comes back in the printer window. I do not see a list of print jobs anywhere or what the job status is. This is the first time I have really tried to get printing to work with samba. All my file

Yes I get that. I am able to get it to work properly by giving complete world access to the file and folders, which means basically it has to be on a share by itself, or one that has complete rwxrwxrwx. I would of course prefer to have only group access but that doesn't work for this act database. I also turned off op locks. Don't know if that will cause any problems. but it made the

I found out a few things. The problem is when act closes the locks are not being cleared. I can make it work by creating an additional share just for the database that has no locking at all, but I think I am risking data corruption. I don't need access to the database simultaneously so if anyone knows how to force the locks to be cleared when I exit act so the next person can get it that

I am running 225 succesfully with RH7.3 (this is a different machine than the print server of earlier messages). This machine is set up to file serve 4 employees only. There is one group and 5 users. I am getting a log entry on this server for every user in the building, not just the ones that are actually logging onto an using this server. Attached is a small portion of one of the logs. I am

I have a pretty well working RH7.3 Samba 2.2.5 from RPM set up. I have searched the archives and the man pages but can't find an answer to this issue although I have a sneaking suspicion it is there somewhere. I have 3 groups set up under linux. everyone, engr, and sales. I have 3 shares. One share is set up for the engr group, one for the sales group, and one for everyone that gets shared

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

I have found another printing problem on my print server. The printer is an HP2000C. Printing using cups. The print queue is set up as a RAW printer. It should be just pass through. I am using the same print driver as on the Novell that works fine. The problem is before each print job a single page gets printed with a %! at the top of the page and nothing else. This problem does not show up

Chris, I did this very thing although I can't tell you how because it just worked right without my having to do anything. I am not having the server automatically download the drivers so maybe that has something to do with it. I keep my drivers on s share and then have to go pick them when I install a printer. All of my print queues from cups update my windows boxes about every 3 seconds.

I am used to using the RH RPM of samba and would like compile V3 with the same options I have in 2.2.5 but I can't seem to find a list of the command line parameters. Anyone know where I might find that? Tony McGrew www.multicam.com

I've done this before and can't remember how. Also I have searched the archives and can't find it. Maybe some of us can come up with a better way searching the archives. My current way takes a lot of time. Anyway I am trying to enable swat from a remote location and there is some file somewhere that says only allow it from local but I can't remember what file that is. Can

I've been running RedHat 5.0 and Samba flawlessly for over 6 months now. I had to reboot the server and now I can't seem to print. When I use the "Printtool" to send a test text or postscript job to the printer, I get the following error: Unable to print to HP4000 Error Message: lpr: connect: no such file or directory jobs queued, but cannot start daemon The printer is set up

Hi, I am trying to compile Samba version 1.9.18p2 on a HP 800/D350 using HPUX 10.20 with software patches from HP installed up to Dec 97. I have seen other messages on this digest that people have been successful but I cannot. using the standard compiler which has ANSI features unbundled I get the following; extract of last half of 30+ error lines... (Bundled) cc: "nameserv.h", line

Hi, although I don't expect any answers (like most of the times) , here is my experience so far: I run a samba printserver for +3.000 hosts and 600 printers with a correct setup successfully. So be sure, everything is plugged in, I tried to turn it off and on again, I RTFM'ed and so on. Here is my most successfull attempt to get the printservice going on 3.5.1 and windows 7 46 bit

Hello, after upgrading to samba 3.5.6 of Debian Squeeze some printouts will not printed. The same prinjob will printed after a couple of tries. I increased the loglevel and there are only a few messages which showing whtat could be the problem. The printjobs doesn't arrive at cups.

Hi, I have some trouble getting files printed on my Solaris 8 machine running Samba 2.0.5. The client is a winxp installed laptop, the printer is configured as a postscript printer (Minolta PagePro 12 PS), although it is a PCL printer (Minolta PagePro 6).

I am absolutely thrilled and delighted to report that the problem I have been having on CentOS since I first started using it, back in 4.4, of having all images (graphics) print out from the image viewer as all-black pages appears to be gone! I just printed 13 graphics from the image viewer directly to my laser printer, and they're all excellent. I suppose it could be that I'm using a
