similar to: FW: Print jobs hang in Samba, don't go to UNIX spooler

OK, it's working now. I waited until the production lines were undergoing a shift change and brought down all of Samba, then restarted it. Printing now works just fine. I still don't know what caused the problem, I never saw any error messages in the [sn]mbd or client logs, even with the log level turned turned up to 2. Thanks very much for the time and trouble you took to think about

I have encountered a strange printing problem with Samba 2.2.4 running under HP-UX 11i. In the process of investigating a printing problem, I have found that Samba has stopped passing jobs along to the UNIX lp spooler as of yesterday afternoon. When NT/W2K clients print to printers on my server, the jobs are accepted, Samba spool files are created in the spool directory defined for the printer

I've had the chance to give 2.2.7a a try, with no change in behavior. LabView still takes several minutes to load, and disk utilization shoots way up. Just to see what would happen, I tried Samba 2.2.5 and got the same results. I then dropped back to 2.2.4, and everything works fine. LabView loads in about 12 seconds, disk utilization stays low during the load, no locking errors appear in

Does anyone have any idea what can cause nmbd to begin gobbling CPU? We are running Samba 2.2.4 on HP-UX 10.20, having upgraded from Samba 2.0.10 about a month ago. Our clients are a mixture of NT 4.0 and Win2K. Today, we have begun to see widespread client drive disconnections, and nmbd is averaging 60%+ CPU usage with peaks up to 100%. We have heard reports of network problems at our site

Hello All, I recently upgraded one of my HP-UX servers from Samba 2.2.4 to 2.2.7. Since that time, I have noticed that disk activity on the file system where the Samba var directory is kept seems to be higher than I would expect. We have now begun to experience a problem with PC clients running National Instruments' LabView software, installed on a Samba share. When any PC client tries to

Hi Bernd, For now, we have backed down to 2.2.4. This seems to have solved our problems. This is frustrating, though, since we wanted to upgrade to at least 2.2.5+patches to possibly improve our situation with downloadable printer drivers. In my last post to the Samba mailing list, I mentioned that downgrading to 2.2.4 fixed my problems and asked for suggestions, but yours has been the only

Will Samba support "fallback" to local domain for authentication of local users? I joined a RHEL4 server running Samba 3.0.10-1.4E.11 to a Windows 2000/2003 mixed-mode domain today using "security = domain", after having run for many months in "security = user" mode. Authentication works fine for users defined in the Windows domain, but we have a few users (mainly

Hi, I have Panasonic KX-P7105 printer connected through LPT1 port to the "D-link DP-101P+" print server. This printer is defined as raw and I am using it only for printing from different windows clients. Drivers are only on windows client side. On linux side I never print one page. Suddenly, in windows print spooler I can see already printed documents from every user. As

Hi, I installed Wine07252005, my printer is EPSON LX 300X, it's CUPS, the name is EPSON9Pin. I tested it with a simple Delphi program and have two problems: 1) If i print using a report builder like RBuilder, it prints quite well, but the font does look good in the print out. 2) If I use spooler to print, like following: if StartDocPrinter(PrnHandle, 1, @DocInfo) = 0 then begin

I am using samba 2.2.5 and cups 1.1.4 as a print server. Everything is working well, except occasionally the spooler service on my user's machines will randomly die. This happens across platforms (2k, NT, XP) and never happened with the same drivers/setup on the WinNT print server that I have just replaced. I've attached a link to my setup file. Let me know if you have any ideas. My

I have samba 2.2.5 on RedHat 7.3. I have installed the following patches on samba: Makefile.in.patch ldap_start_tls.patch parse_sec.patch srv_spoolss_nt.patch from ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/jerry/patches/post-2.2.5 Still experiencing frequent windows nt 4 spooler crashes when installing or removing printers from the samba server. If I disable winbind and the clients login as nobody, the problem

Hi, In the wine config file there is a spooler section where I can map LPT1: to a command e.g. "|lpr" How can I use this? From my applications I only see the printers from my CUPS. How can I use a pritner like LPT1: Regards, Abdul-Wahid

I'm running Samba 3.2.0-17.fc9 as a PDC, serving a printer using CUPS. When I look at the state of the printer under Windows XP I see that jobs which have completed are still listed. When I look in the printing/<printer>.tdb, there are all the jobs. There is nothing left in /var/spool/samba. There are only the completed control files in /var/spool/cups. It appears either that Samba

Hi all, I just realized that the samba print spool is no longer flushing its queue'd print jobs even after it's been printed. In other words, the spool will eventually get full during which no jobs can be spooled and printed anymore. I worked around the problem and inserted the -r option to lpr for the print command in smb.conf: /usr/local/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s That seems to have the

Hi people, Im currently using samba 3.0.14 on a debian stable with a cups. Im able to export my cups printers to samba and set the drivers, the cups drivers. The problem im facing is that when I go to the "printers" share thru a windows client, when I double click on a printer the printer just gets mapped, with no posibility to add any privilegies to the printer on the windows client,

Hi all, an iBook running Mac OS X 10.2 recently joined my little network, so i did configure it for using a Windows shared printer (HP Officejet G55), naturally through SMB protocol. I used CUPS for setting it up. Now, the problem: if i try to print from the iBook, the printer takes about 10 minutes for throwing out each page and the document seems to be continuously spooled up to windows.

Here is an example of a couple of macros that help me where I have a SOHO with a home phone line and a work phone line. If I pick up line 2 my work line I would prefer the call I make to go out my office phone line same with if I pick up line 1 my home phone line I would prefer it go out my home line but want it to roll if needed. So with this little macro it is possible for that to happen.
