I'm using samba and cups to allow NT/2k machines to print to an HP LaserJet 4000N printer. The printer works fine except for one in house program. In this one program, all the horizontal lines that should be printed are missing. Originally I thought this was a driver problem, but today, for no apparent reason, it started printing the horizontal lines... but only for the first page of each

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

To force guest access to a share, you need both guest ok = yes guest only = yes Otherwise it will try and authenticate you first before dropping you to guest. If this doesn't work, possibly you don't have a valid guest account set. If no account is set as the guest account (on the linux machine) it will use the user "nobody". > -Larry Engleman > The Burgiss Group >

Everyone, I am currently using a vsifax program (pcltotiff) to convert pcl files to tiff files on a SCO Unix box, and then I am using tiff2pdf on a Centos 5.9 box to convert the file to a pdf. There are other commands that deal with multiple page tiff's and pdf's that are part of the process, but the above basic process has worked very well. The only thing I would like to enhance is a

I'm currently using Samba 2.2.5 on a Mandrake 8.0 box with cups 1.1.4. I have several printers shared that are accessed from winNT/2k/xp boxes. When I right click on the printer or select printer properties, or go to print from any of those other boxes, the response is slower than molasses. I have an identical machine running WinNT Workstation that was previously our print server. It is

Everyone, I am trying to create a 'color' *.pcl from a pdf file with the use of gimp and the gutenprint gimp plugin. I have done this easily to create a black & white *.pcl file, but have not found a way to create a file that contains the 'color' commands for an HP laser printer. I am running Centos 7.5 with all of the latest updates. gutenprint- 5.2.9-18.el7.x86_64 is the

Hi List, I'd really appreciate some recommendations for colour laser printers for use with CentOS. It's for light home use with CentOS 5 and CentOS 6 systems. Must have: 1. Colour. Quality not that important as mainly for kids school project type of stuff. 2. Ethernet connectivity - want something I can plug into the network 3. Cheap running costs - don't want to be spending a

I have a hp photosmart C3180 all-in-one and am well and truly sick of it. It seems like every time I go on another printing binge, I need yet another print cartridge. hp-clean doesn't help. IIRC this use it or lose it "feature" is common to inkjets. What should I replace it with? If I want a non-cloggging printer, is laser jet the way I need to go? I'd like to do color

Since my old Epson C86 has finally managed to clog up the print heads, I'm in the market for a replacement. I'd like to know what the people on this list are using for printers that are currently available, since we are using versions of CUPS and foomatic that are frozen, and any other issues or "gotchas" that you are aware of. For the replacement printer, I'm considering a

Drivers are stored in the print$ share. Under this share there are 5 folders, each for a different architecture. Under these folders may be some subfolders (e.g. print$\W32X86 has folder "2" and "3" under it). The client goes to install a shared printer and will access these folders and pull out the appropriate file. Drivers are added likewise by going to the shared printer,

Hi ! I hate to do this but I'm close to get crazy about printing with samba. I have a samba server ver 2.2.5 running as a domain controler. The domain logon works fine, I've created the computer account by hand for testing and it is great. The problem is with printing. I've created the [print$] share all the directories in this share like W32ALPHA, W32MIPS, W32PPS, W32X86,

Hi, we have a strange problem with the Sharp PCL printer driver for the AR-M450. Someone in the list seems to have the very same problem with a Sharp AR-286 printer.

Could anyone please advise me on how to configure ghost script, so that I can print a postscript file on a PCL printer

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello: I've configured a Linux box with Samba to act as a secondary domain controller for an existing NT server. I've gotten everything working very nicely, all my file shares set up, etc. I've got 6 printers that I need to set up as print shares. The ones that speak Postscript or PCL were very easy to set up, and work admirably.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everyone, Will samba handle printing to a printer connected to the network with a jet direct card. I currently print to a locally connected laser jet 4 plus and need to add a color printer as well. Will samba handle printing to an IP address or is the only solution to try and add another parrallel port. I am running RH 6.1 and Samba 2.06. I

This is my way of filtering ^D and PCL headers out of samba jobs on a solaris 7 system. It assumes that all your printers are capable of postscript, and that you are using PS drivers on any printers are not PCL capable. 1) Add a declaration of pcl capability to the relevant printers: lpadmin -p hp8000 -I 'simple,postscript,pcl' Choose which printers you do this to carefully, Using

I have been wrestling with this for quite some time. I have Samba 3.0.9-1.3E.3 installed on a RH ES 3 server running the 2.4.21-32.ELsmp kernel. I have a Xerox Workcentre 32C, Workcentre 65, HP Laser Jet 5si, HP LJ 8000, LJ 4250dtn. All of the printers work fine from the local machine. In other words, I can print to any of the printers from the RH server. However, when using Samba to share

Using samba 3.05 and the point and print features how does one setup tcp/ip ports for printing. After having loaded the print drivers using the APW all the printer ports show a local port on the samba server and all of my printers use a 192.168.10.X address. Is there anyway this can automatically happen without user intervention. I wasn't able to locate this info in the how to's.

I am having a problem getting the PCL driver for the Sharp AR-286 working. This is an LPD network printer. I created a queue on our Redhat Samba server using the raw driver. The windows drivers uploaded to the Samba server without a problem. But whenever I try to print anything to the printer it comes out garbled. I installed the postscript drivers for the same printer without any problem and
