I am trying to allow printing from my linux box to my win98 box, to which my epson stylus printer is attached. It's just not happening...something tells me I'm flirting with a world of pain. I *can* print a file by going: smbclient //rory/EPSON translate print /etc/group but I cannot print from applications, nor can i use smbprint. I tried going: cat /etc/passwd | sh -x smbprint

well i've tried everything trying to get r/w access to my linux box (debian 2.2.3 running samba 2.0.7) from win2k. can only get readonly. i'm hoping some kind sould might be able to take a look at my samba config and let me know what i'm doing wrong... # Samba config file created using SWAT # from localhost (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2001/11/01 00:39:30 # Global parameters [global]

I have an Epson Stylus Color 880, connected to our network via an external ethernet printserver. I used to run lprng on the samba server (which is a domain controller), and the Windows clients had one minor problem accessing this printer via Samba (2.2.3a, then): Every time a client wanted to print, the Epson status monitor on the client would complain about communication problems with the

Greetings, I'm not on the list, so please CC me, thanks. :) Problem: printing a full-page graphic stops 3 inches into the print. System: FreeBSD 3.2 server running Samba 2.0.3 (version that is installed with the distribution) 486DX (4 or 8MB, I don't remember at the moment, I think 8.) 2 parallel ports Epson Color STYLUS 500 Epson Color STYLUS 800 Win95 client

Epson doesn't seem to have one; I see an rpm at openprinting.org, but that .rpm d/l I started around 11:30 my time, and the d/l slowed, and slowed, and it's been at 21% and "1 hr 17 min to go" for it seems like close to half an hour. I d/l a tar.bz2, but I'm not sure I want to build and install it - my use of this printer is temporary, and I want to be able to uninstall it

Hi all! Is it possible to use a usb printer from a DomU? I don''t get to see any device using both lscpi and lsusb. I''m using Xen 3.0.2-2. Thanks in advance.

Hi, This is my first shot at getting Samba to work for us. I have successfully setup SMB (Samba) on my Linux (RedHat6.0) in a network. I can see the linux machine from the NT4 workstation's Network Neighbourhood, and provided I give a correct password I can browse the linux / (root) tree, as I have configured it in /etc/smb.conf and all is well. But I have also setup a SMB printer on the

I can't seem to find an answer or a workaround, and I've received stoney silence on this one. There aren't any answers in the archives (well, I didn't find any in the hours on several days I spent, anyhow). I'm convinced that I can't be the *only* one with this problem, nor am I convinced that there is absolutely no one who can help. Please feel free to jump in with

I am really quite puzzled as to why I have to edit smb.conf every time I want to print to the FreeBSD machine from Win2K. (Running FBSD 4.7, samba 2.2.7 and cups 1.1.15.1_4. When I log onto FBSD with username, password, I see the folders for the printers, home, tmp, etc. but no printer. (Only 1 installed - Epson Stylus Color 900). I can access the shares on FBSD from Win2k, but there is no

Good evening: I am running RedHat Linux 8.0 on a box that has my Epson Stylus Color 777 printer attached to it. The printer works fine from all applications on my Linux box using a driver I picked up from TurboPrint. I have downloaded and installed Samba 2.7.2 and am trying to print from a Windows 2000 box to this Linux machine. The problem is that when I print, the document seems to queue up

Hello, I couldn't find an answer to this small question in google/man/faq: why do I use lose my printer if I use registry backend? config backend = file (full config file below): ...

I have menaged to setup Samba services to share an IBM 4039 printer and have tested another printer (Epson LX-800) on the PC. It works fine. The weird thing, the IBM4039 will not print anything. All the jpbs will be spooled. For each print job to be printed. I will need to switch off the printer and switch it on again. Have anyone encountered such problems before? I know there is basically

Hello Folks, I will personally send $50(AU) of Pizza to anyone that solves this one :) We have a network comprising approx 30 Windows workstations all logging in to a samba machine running as a PDC. The main exported file system is an NFS mounted file system, but this was happening back when this was an xfs file system as well. ACL's are enabled. We are running Samba Version 2.2.8a. The

hi list, i have a little problem with 2-node RAC using OCFS. the application running on this cluster does heavily index-based accesses. the data volumes are SAN volumes connected by fibrechannel. the throughput does not exceed 10mb/s, average is 7-8 mb/s. i've used 'iostat -x' and got rkB/s=8000 while %util=100% (device was saturated) from kernel's POV. i did some

Anyone dealt with an Epson Stylus Photo 2200? Disconnected from my machine, it won't even print a self-test page.... mark

Hi all, I have a small network set up, on which I have 3 Linux-Mandrake Boxes and one Windows98 Machine. On each of the Linux boxes I have installed Samba 2.0.7, and everything so far has been a breeze and is working fine...... with one exception..... On the win98 machine, I have an Epson Stylus printer which I am trying to print to from the Linux boxes...... can I get it to work......

I'm thinking for replacing my current printer that I use with my POS systems (http://possolutions.multiply.com/). What do you think is the best brand out there? Thanks.

I'm hoping my desperate post yesterday just didn't make it across. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or just want to say "Hi"? Using... CUPS 1.1.13 Samba 2.2.1a Gimp-Print 4.2.0 on a RH 7.2 computer with a USB Epson Stylus Photo 420 printer hooked up to a Windows98 computer... I am unable to print properly... The output seems to be dying on its way to the Windows 98
