similar to: cupsaddsmb - problem; once again

RH Linux 9 on AMD k6-2 500 Using HP deskjet 930c on USB Samba version: 2.2.7a cups version: 1.1.18 Hello - I have had a good look on this newsgroup - and what I've picked up I think is allowing me to ask these questions more intelligently. I've also had a good look at the CUPS documentation aswell as the Samba documentation. 1. Am I correct is assuming that CUPS only likes postscript,

Hi, I played around with samba 2.2.5 and cups and tried to get it working. Well everything is fine, but the driver upload to the client WILL NOT WORK. I used the current stable downloads, latest patch for printing, prebuilds from Lars Mueller .... I put together everything. If one has a working samba//cups please tar it and place it on our ftp-server. I don't know what's wrong here

I've recently attempted to convert from the Adobe PostScript drivers for my Canon BJC=2110 printer over to the native CUPS Windows PS drivers and can't quite get things to work correctly. After deleting the printer on my WinXP SP1 clients, verifying under "Server Properties" that the Adobe driver was removed, then reconnecting to my Samba printer, I connect fine but receive

Well, you haven't told us your version of cups. I had the same problem using cups-1.14.x, upgraded to 1.15.x and the problem is gone.

Hi, I have tried to use cups and samba together. Everything works great, however I am not able to configure and/or setup samba correctly, that the clients are able to install the driver. To test everything I used a dedicated system installed a fresh SuSE 8.0 and compiled samba (2.2.4) and cups (1.1.14). I only userd a differnet prefix for samba. Everything else is default.

Hello all, I am running a Debian testing/unstable system with samba 2.2.3a-6 and cupsys 1.1.15-4 as a member server in a samba domain. I have used CUPS to add a networked HP8100N printer and it works fine locally, but I'm having difficulty adding it to samba for Win98 domain clients to use. I ran cupsaddsmb to add the printer and drivers to samba, but it cannot find the PPD file... where is

Hello, I want to setup a new print server using cups and samba for our new institue. Everything is working well (printing from unix and windows), but the driver download for the windows clients won't work and I have no idea what's wrong. Currently i have installed cups-1.15 and samba 2.2.5 on top of suse 8.0 using the rpm-files from Lars Mueller(?)(ftp.suse.com/pub/people/lmuelle) and

Hi list, I've just figured it out. When we're installing the drivers from adobe there's a part where we must "Select the Printer Model". By default it uses the "Generic Postscript Printer" (it has an associated PPD for that). We must get a PPD for our printer (installed on the linux server) from the www.linuxprinting.org, click the "Browse" button and

Hi, I'm having trouble doing what should apparently be quite simple: I want my Samba host to share a locally-attached usb printer and I want Windows clients to connect to this printer WITHOUT asking the user to select an appropriate driver since it should already be installed in the client's system. On the Windows client, "printer control panel" -> "File" ->

Here is what I do. It gets explained step by step. At the end of this mail you will find my references used in the text by [0] and so on. - starting with initial setup - getdriverdir NT x86 - uploading files with smbclient prompt; cd W32X86 - addriver - addprinter - debian:/scratch/W32X86# rpcclient debian -d 1 -A /scratch/authfile.txt -c "enumdrivers" -

Hi, I try to install a new driver on my print$ share using APW and I have this message : move_driver_to_download_area: Unable to rename [W32X86/HPDCMON.DLL] to [W32X86/3/HPDCMON.DLL] I have exacltly the same configuration (smb.conf, acl et right) than my older server.

This is just a information in case somebody runs into the same issue: I was unable to upload drivers to a samba-server (3.0.28a and 3.0.29) via the windows add printer wizard. The driver files started uploading, then processing stopped saying the driver is not compatible to windows xp. In the logs the following message popped up. However some files could be copied: [2008/05/27 10:30:09, 0]

Hi there I just installed the above mentioned system and try to print from a W2k box to the Samba box but nothing happens. There's no problem in printing from the RH box or via Webmin but when I try to print from the W2k box nothing happens. I don't get an error or anything. I installed the printer by the help of the add printer tool in RH, and simply go to the Printer--->Add

Hi All, I have Samba 3.0.22-1ubuntu4 running on Ubuntu 6.01 (eft) and am trying to add printers using cupsaddsmb. On running it I get the following: root@pykota:/home/printeradmin# cupsaddsmb -U root -a -v Password for root required to access /var/run/cups/cups.sock via SAMBA: Running command: smbclient ///var/run/cups/cups.sock/print$ -N -A /var/spool/cups/tmp/454b654e20cfa -c 'mkdir

HI! I've a problem with cupsaddsmb!! :-( At the console I type: cupsaddsmb -U root -v <printername> and after some operations complete correctly appear this error: [...] Running command: rpcclient localhost -N -U'root%' -c 'adddriver "Windows NT x86" "eps6100l:cupsdrv5.dll:eps6100l.ppd:cupsui5.dll:cups5.hlp:NULL:RAW:NULL"' cmd = adddriver

This is probably a CUPS bug but maybe not, I'll mention it here just in case. When using cupsaddsmb to install 64bit drivers the drivers must be in the (maybe distro/configure dependent): /usr/share/cups/drivers/x64 to be sure that's "x64" with a lower case "x". The cupsaddsmb app ignores the drivers if the subdirectory is named with an uppercase "X" (X64).

I'm trying to add a printer to Samba 2.2.4, using the cupsaddsmb tool provided with CUPS. cupsaddsmb basically invokes samba's rpcclient program.. The driver part installs fine using cupsaddsmb, but addprinter always fails for some reason. This is what cupsaddsmb returns, does anybody have any idea as to what is wrong?? If I invoke rpcclient manually with a debug level of 10, it goes

Hello, I tried to find a way to having the setup of cups printing working for windows client. I end up now with "cupsaddsmb -v -a -U root" finishing by "Printer Driver mesange successfully installed.

Hi. Im trying to get cups-printing to work on samba 3.0 - RH9. We are having NT WTS Metaframe servers as the "client" But when running command cupsaddsmb -U root -a -v i get the following error: Warning: No PPD file for printer "printername" - skipping! I have copied over theese files to \usr\share\cups\drivers before running the command [Windows NT, 2000,

Hi, I'm having a strange problem with cupsaddsmb ... it fails whenever I try to use it while using the rpcclient command ... the "addriver" command just fails (like below). Does anyone know what is wrong with the command cupsaddsmb is passing to rpcclient? Adding drivers through the windows point and print works fine ... this is samba 2.2.8a, Windows PDC. As far as I can tell,
