similar to: Samba 2.2.4 + Win2K Printing Problem

Hi, I'm running samba 2.2.1a (RPM install) on RedHat 7.2 I've connected a Canon LBP-8 IV laserprinter to the network via a HP Jetdirect box. I've configured the printer within linux and printing goes fine. Now I'm trying to access the printer via samba from my win2k clients. Now, the problem is: When I'm trying to print to the printer (e.g. a testpage) I get the message

I'm having a little problem with a HP 8550 Laser Color printer shared under samba. The printer works fine with local prints, I can see the resource printer from Win2k2 explorer. I install the remote printer in a W2k2 workstation, windows ask me for drivers, and then, I installed them. The problem is: when I'm triying to access the printer, windows told me: "Access denied, can

Mates, On my Suse 9.0 pro installation, I updated Samba from 2.2.8a to 3.0.7. The upgrade went flawlessly, Samba is happily sharing all the files it was before. However, I can no longer print via cups. I have a HP LJ4 attached to the Linux box that worked great before the upgrade. I have 2 XP clients. Now from the Windows side, I get the printer status showing 'access denied, unable 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

If anybody could help this would be much appreciated... Samba being used with Domain security, as a printer server with an NT 4.0 PDC and BDC. Can browse file shares, can act as printer admin (FINALLY !!), but cannot upload printer drivers, have created print$ share, have created W32X86 and WIN40 directories. When I try to print I get the following error message in machine specific log,

Hello all, I have been trying set up a linux box as a print server for our mixed windows network. It has samba working - everybody can see it & a shared directory. I installed cups & that too seems to be fine - printing test pages from the web interface works perfectly. But i can't get them to talk. I think this is mostly as i can't find a decent howto & so am poking

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

I've got Samba 2.2.3 running as a PDC for some Win9x and WinNT clients. Everything seems to be fine except that occasionally (but rather often, at least every second day) printing from one of the NT-clients is impossible. In the log file it says (word wrap here in the editor): [2002/02/26 18:04:21, 0] printing/printing.c:print_job_start(952) print_job_start: insufficient permissions to open

I installed Samba 2.2.2 on my Linux box. The smb.conf file is as shown below. The permission on /var/spool/lpd/lp is set to 755; ie, it is writable only by the owner, which is lp. With the setup as is, when I try to print from the NT machine, the smb log on the Linux box indicates the following error: " print_job_start: insufficient permissions to open spool file /var/spool/lpd/lp". If

Hello, we've updated to 3.6.1 yesterday, and since encounter problems with printing for some users. There's a descriptive error in the log.smbd, but I can't see what to do about it really (the rest of the, admittedly fairly ancient system, is the same base system as the previous 3.5.5 - only a couple of security updates were patched in during downtime). The message in log.smbd is:

I have a Deskjet 690C connected to my machine running RH7.1 + linux 2.4.13 + samba 2.2.2 installed from RPM. I have setup the printer with RH's printconf-gui as a local printer. In local use it works fine. I have the following in my /etc/samba/smb.conf: --<snip>-- [global] security = share printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes --</snip>-- and

L.S. Situation: I am running Samba 2.2.7a as my DPC in a small business network with win98/ME clients. A big Fiery printer/scanner/copier device is also part of this network. It has its own printserver. Since Win98/ME can not print to an LPD queue directly, I have setup Samba to spool the printjobs send by the clients to the Fiery server. All is working well, but there is a small problem. This

Hi, we are operating the IT of a small non-profit organization with a Samba server (2.2.5) and roughly 15 Win2k workstations. Everything works fine so far but one single issue: Printing messages from Outlook Express: only the header of the mail is printed, no single line of the body. All the domain users are standard-users (I'm not sure about the correct English wording, may be someone

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

I apologize has been discussed, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm trying configure my samba/debian box to allow printing to a shared printer on a win95 machine. Any help is appreciated. In printcap: ljsaturn|HP Laserjet 6P :rm=saturn.ois.swau.edu :rp=hplj6p :sd=/var/spool/lpd/ljsaturn :mx#0 :lp=/dev/null :sh :sf I can print from another Windows

Hi list, I have troubles with printing on a HP Deskjet 1220C (connected on network through jet direct device). I have a print server, which use LPRng and allow clients to print on this 1220c printer as well as laserjet printers. If client is Linux, I can print on all printers. So I guess my LPRng config is good. Another server runs Samba 3. This server's printcap redirect jobs to my

Hi all, I'm still a young man having trouble with his fresh new Samba 3 setup. I've got another small issue with Samba. Our Samba 3.0.2-2 (Debian Sarge) is acting as a PDC, but also hosts a few printers shares, with cups. Suddenly today only ONE of our printers stopped to work. From an XP Pro SP1 Client, we cannot print anymore. An attempt to print a test page fails, and here is what

Hi, I have tried to get my Win2K to access my Linux Samba server without success. The error message I am getting is "Network Path not found". Below are the details: 1. The Win2K is actually a guest OS running on VMWare-2.0.4. The host OS is a RedHat 7.2. VMware uses samba-2.0.6. 2. The config file was based on a working sample, off another VMWare machine. Its host OS was RedHat 7.2

Hi, I just installed 2 Win2K sp4 workstations on an otherwise working Samba 2.2.8a network and 2 of the 3 printers are showing "Access denied". What's up with that? The other computers that are working just fine are Win98, XP and Win2K NOT sp4. Here is part of the global section: printing = bsd load printers = yes disable spoolss = yes printcap name
