Hi All, After connecting a HP DeskJet 950C printer to my NT Server and configuring it as a share printer, I used samba and printconf to connect to it. I setup the printer in printconf as a Samba (SMB) Printer/Windows Printer (SMB) Share After restarting the lpd daemon, I can print successfully the ASCII test page and other linux files, e.g. smb.conf, /etc/fstab, etc. My problem is that I am unable

Hello, Excuse me for my English. I use an impression (not yet;) and file server samba 2.2.5 on a red hat 7.2. I try to print starting from a station under Windows 2000 but I obtain the error "the handle is invalid". I installed the drivers for my impimante on the W2000 station but I would like to also know if the drivers of the printer are necessary for the W2000 workstation AND

Hi, I have a RedHat7.3 distro running Samba-2.2.3a. I've never had this problem before 2.2.x versions of samba. I'm using domain security and sharing 2 printers, an HP4050 and Ricoh. Everyone can print fine except that, seemingly randomly, printjobs end up in the queue as paused (according to winXPpro and Win98). Nobody can unpause or delete them. The only way to remove them is to

Hi there Brian! I've seen your email on one of the samba mailing list. This has been my problem for a long time. I just want to share this problem directly to you and i hope you can lend me your help. I'm trying to setup windows printer sharing using SAMBA installed on my Linux box (Redhat 7.3 as printer server) and windows 2000 pro as my client. My win2k clients are connected to a

Good afternoon, This is my first post, so please be gentle ;) Anyway, here's my question....I've recently put together a Linux Server for our company, replacing an old Novel server. I have the box set up with Samba, as a PDC on our network. So far, just about everything is working correctly. One issue I'm coming up against, though, is printing from DOS. I have Samba

Hello all. I have a question about setting up samba to serve windows printing. I have been trying to research this but keep coming up with conflicting howto's. Can someone give me directions to an up-to-date print howto? It would be greatly appreciated as I am stuck on this.

I have played around with samba now for quite a while but couldnt print on my win2k box with koffice. with the command line smbclient it works: smbclient //server/hpdeskje -N -P -U user -c 'print hello' prints a text (from the file hello) "Hello World" Also a print to file file off my win2k box would print fine with smbclient. Only, I cant quite find out how the printcap

I just joined this list, If this has been answered before I apologize: I have a Redhat 7.2 box running Samba 2.2.4 I have a few printers running on JetDirect boxes that I am attempting to print to. I used printconf in Redhat to set them up within the linux box. Everything works fine from the linux box. I set them up within samba (see [printers] below), but when I print I get "Failed to

Listers, I encountered a problem with samba (2.2.7a) when I was setting CUPS (1.1.14) up. I set it up through the web interface, setting the appropriate values in smb.conf: [global] <snip> printing = cups load printers = yes printcap name = cups [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no public = yes

Ah, it appears that I have confused myself... I indeed have ALL of the queues defined as JetDirect with the model specific driver selected in printconf. With this combination I am telling linux to modify the job [via the filter] and then pass it as a RAW [jetdirect] where I SHOULD just have the queue define as JetDirect with a RAW as the driver and let the job go as transmitted by the client

I've connected a BSD machine to a WinME machine in the office to begin experimenting with samba. I've been messing about with it but I can't get a print of samba files to the WinME printer. My /var/spool/lpd/canon directory contains .config, .seq, status and lock files and a whole bunch of files that aren't getting printed to the remote printer. my .config file has: server=ICE1

I seem to have some issues coming to terms with the new smbprint configuration. Not that it is all that new, but I have worked on a ton of AIX Samba systems that are runing 1.9.x and the smbprint worked great in all aspects. The box's couldn't be upgraded (or so said the company that did application builds related to Samba). The printers were and are hosted from windows95 workstations

I don't have a solution, but I do want to keep this thread alive until we get it resolved. I'm in the same situation. I can print fine, but it says that annoying message. Do you guys print to an LPD unix queue? My linux print server is sending the job to a LPD linux box that is connected to the printer local. (Our printer support requires it that way). Has anyone been able to

Hello people, ok just a small problem I have with my samba settings. I have a RH 6.0 file/printer server that is connected to some Windoze 98 machines and a couple of Macs.
