similar to: FIXED - Print jobs hang in Samba, don't go to UNIX spool er

I hate to follow up on my own post, but here's an additional bit of info: I've tried changing the "print command" setting in smb.conf to log the command and parameters when a job is printed. However, no output is ever logged; it's acting as if the print job is being spooled but the print command isn't being executed. The print command I added is: print command = echo

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

I will be out of the office: From: Monday, Dec. 23rd Through: Friday, Jan. 3rd I will return to the office on Monday, Jan. 6th I will only be checking email or voicemail. Once or twice during that time period. Members of the I.T. dept. will be able to contact me if there is a critical issue. Enjoy the time off over the holidays and Happy New Year! >>> samba 12/21/02 12:00

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

Don't forget to add the #PRE after the host info; that way it preloads it. Create one lmhosts file for the Win boxes, and copy to either \windows (win9x) \winnt\system32\drivers\etc (NT/Win2k/XP) then open a DOS Prompt and type nbtstat -R to flush/refresh the cached info. The samba box's hosts go in /etc, /lmhosts go in /etc/samba (if you're using the current defaults. Put the

Ok, I solved the problem by myself. The problem was that the users with wich I tried to connect to the printer where defined as admin users, and I declared root as an invalid user in the samba configuration, so it always give me an access denied because it tried to connect as root. Anyway thanks for the time you waste trying to help me ;-) ----Message r?exp?di?---- >Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2002

Hullo All. The preamble.... Samba 2.2.7a compiled against CUPS, CUPs v 1.1.6 (version that came with Mandrake 9.0), using client side drivers (raw printing) on XP. Printing works, cancelling jobs via the web interface works after the spooling is done. What doesn't work. Pausing jobs (though that's not as important as the next trouble) and cancelling jobs from XP. If I cancel a job by

Hi all, I'm currentlly using samba-2.2.2 together with LPRng-3.7.4, and have a problem with a printjob that woun't go away. I use samba for a small file/printserver for 10 people using win98se clients, and it's been working very nicely. As I upgraded from samba-2.0.6, I sent out a testpage from one of the win98se clients to the two printers (hpljet 6L, Epson stylus photo 750) we have

greetings, my hp 2605dn printer using samba as a print spooler from solaris 10 won't print from XP, 2000. i've convinced myself that the windoze boxes ship the print job off to the samba print spooler, but the samba print spooler bitbuckets it. samba 3.0.21b (sun's) solaris 10 printer = hp2605dn windows xp, 2000. using bsd protocol. ping works everywhere, nslookup gives the right

Hi all, i 've written a little Callgen script for generating calls through the outgoing spool directory. The calls goes over 8 ttyI devices to another pbx and come in through other 8 ttyI devices. But when i generate the calls, sometimes * register the calls but never initiate them. Especially when the files come to fast into the outgoing dir. What can be wrong ? Is it possible that the

Hello Brian, There is a very annoying problem with UNIX systems and network printing. On nearly all SYSV systems the spooler stores only the address of the (temporarily) print file. This does not cause any problem if it is created by a local application. If the temporarily print file was created via a network application (Samba, NFS, etc.) it will be removed shortly afterwards. In the most

Hi folks, Whilst viewing printers on a samba 2.2.5 (just been upgraded from 2.2.4) server, both an NT and W2K machine had the print spooler service killed off at the same time. I have been reliably informed that this doesn't just happen like that! Any ideas as to why this would happen, as its a bit of a major prob.
