similar to: Uploading Printer Drivers with XP

I'm setting up faxing from our server using mgetty+sendfax, and the setup from http://relay.boerde.de:82/~horstf/ Basically, what this does is collect the print job normally via samba print services, then asks the user what number to fax it to. The asking is done by a program run on the user's system at startup called 'responder'. I have installed the print drivers on to the

This occurs with Samba downloaded drivers of an installed printer. When attempting to view the printer properties you receive the following error: ?Function address 0x2d04193 caused a protection fault. (exception code 0xc0000005) Some or all property page(s) may not be displayed.? Followed by: ?The ?<drivername>? printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties

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,

I am having problems uploading printer drivers from my WinXP workstation. I can use my Win2K workstation just fine, but when I try to use the exact same user ID and access the exact same printer, the New Driver... button on the XP printer dialog is disabled. The only thing I can think of is permissions on the client side (since it is the same user ID being used). I tried granting my user ID full

I can't seem to get a Windows XP Media Center Edition system to see a very simple print share. [global] workgroup = HOME realm = SHAUN server string = Samba Server security = SHARE encrypt passwords = No log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 dns proxy = No wins support = Yes valid users = shaun admin users = shaun read list = shaun write list = shaun printer admin

Hi, We've recently upgraded from samba 2.2 to samba 3.0.2.a . We used to get the session name with %U on our samba server. This name was used when receiving a fax message for the samba fax. The name was used to send an acknowledge message to the user. In version 2.2 this worked fine , also for a windows XP client. However in version 3.0.2a the %U field is empty for requests.

Maybe there's a trivial solution to this, but it's confused the hell out of me. I'm trying to upload the latest Windows XP PCL6 driver for our Laserjet 4250TN to my Samba 3.0.11 server. It works, and uploads the driver files, but then at the end it produces an error on the XP client "the operation could not be completed". The logs on the samba server state:

I am quite sure this question has been asked before but I can't find anything in the archive and Google does not turn up anything useful. I have Fedora Core 5 with an HP LaserJet 5L printer connected to the LPT port. I also have the CUPS printer queue shared. I am trying to setup up a Windows XP laptop with wlan on my home network to be able to print to that printer. I have little

Is anyone else seeing Vista (final) will not "connect" to a samba-hosted printer? I'm getting error 0x00000057. I can connect to the port only and install a local driver, though. It's just that the drivers will not load correctly. The drivers do load partly, because I can see driver-specific attributes if I go to "Properties" rather than "Connect". But a test

Hello everyone, I am having a problem getting Windows XP clients to print to a Xerox DataCenter 440 using Samba as the print server running on Red Hat Linux 7.2. I have installed the driver once and it worked fine. I then tried to add a second XP client, and while it appears to install and work, nothing comes out of the printer. It even seems to disappear at the print server. Any ideas how I

I am looking at buying a new home office printer and wondered what you all might suggest. My current printer is a very inexpensive Canon BubbleJet, and I find it clogs frequently, has very small ink tanks, and the Maintenance functions from my XP clients does not work with samba, requiring I switch the printer cable to an XP machine for maintenance. My config is this: - XP Professional

Hello, I am trying to install automatic printer driver download and install. I am running Samba 3, as a PDC, on RedHat 7.3. It seems everything is setup correctly, although I cannot get the rpcclient to 'see' my printer. Please notice these two printers listed below ar the same (lp & HP2300).

Hello, I have an annoying problem. I have declared a printer for which I want Samba to download drivers onto the clients. So I have configured print$ share, the printer itself (by BSD printing), then connect the printer to my W2K client (SP3 with ALL RPC updates applied, including today's one). And it fails : - on the windows side, I have a popup : unable to install <name of the driver>

Hello folks: The introduction: Great product this Samba! The problem: I am trying to migrate an HP LaserJet 4 printer in our office off a VMS system and hang it directly off the back of a UNIX machine. I have created the new entry in the printcap (see below) file on that machine and can print from UNIX - no problem. I created the share in Samba with what I think works pretty well (see below).

We are using roaming profiles. I have a user that logs onto two computers that are in different buildings.

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
