similar to: Re: Printer settings problem 2.2.6pre

I am trying to apply some settings to a printer shared by Samba, including installing the drivers. I notice that I must be in printer admin or be root in order to do this, and I am. The logs say that I'm "logged in as admin user (root privileges)" which I assume is correct. I go into properties, click no when it asks me if I want to install drivers, and then go to New Driver and

Hello All, We have a problem with our samba-based print server (a redhat EL machine, running samba 3.2.8) occasionally getting corrupt ntprinters.tdb files. To combat it, I've been keeping nightly backups of the file, and restoring the latest whenever it crashes. This _almost_ works. When I restore the file, some of the printer settings - such as which driver it is using - seem to restore

Maybe there's a trivial solution to this, but it's confused the hell out of me. I'm trying to upload the latest Windows XP PCL6 driver for our Laserjet 4250TN to my Samba 3.0.11 server. It works, and uploads the driver files, but then at the end it produces an error on the XP client "the operation could not be completed". The logs on the samba server state:

For backup and redundancy purposes, I've been needing to replicate CUPS printer queues between two Samba servers, and came up with the following shell script. We use a fairly sizable number of CUPS printer queues printing in RAW mode, and install the printer drivers from the Windows clients, so all clients actually download the printer driver from Samba at first use. WARNING: This

Well I'm trying to setup the Samba server to act as a print server too. I had uploaded the drivers for the 4 printers we have and I installed all 4 printers on my test computer and it worked well. But when I got back from my vacations one of the tech told me that he couldn't install the printer drivers from the server and when I check the driver didn't seem to be in the driver list

This problem has persisted for as long as I've used rsync. When the --delete option is used, not all files are deleted from the target, even though said files are not present in the source. The particular cases that cause this are when the target has a directory with files, and the source is something else, at least a symlink (this is the case I have seen). I'm taking a guess to say that

Hi, Our Samba/CUPS based printserver loses the info of which driver belongs to a certain printer. The server is running Samba 3.2.7 on Solaris 9. Out of the blue, users complain they cannot print. Looking at 'printers and faxes' from a Windows machine shows no info in the 'Model' field. In normal situations this field lists the driver/model name. Weird thing is: nobody is

Hello, how can I delete a printer and it's driver completely out of samba? 1. Removing the entry out of smb.conf and reload samba. 2. Remove the driver over the windows serversettings dialog. But then there is a "printing/printer-name.tdb" left in the lock directory. Can I just delete this file? And how can I remove the corresponding entries out of ntprinters.tdb. And is there

---------------------------- OS: CentOS 5.2 Samba: Samba 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 Printer: HP LaserJet P2105n ---------------------------- I setup a linux print server for windows clients. First I downloaded the printer drivers for windows from HP website (both the Universal Printer Driver PCL6 and the PCL6 driver for P2105 series), and installed them on my windows client, then it created a local printer

Experienced programmer, Samba noob, CUPS noob; trying to use Ubuntu 6.06 Server as a print server for Windows XP clients on a home LAN. Worked through the Howto and got point-and-print to work for my Canon iP1200 (raw CUPS queue, and I used the Windows XP Add Printer Wizard to upload the driver to the print$ share). However, I can't persuade the printer driver to change the ink cartridge mode

Hi, we are experiencing periodic problems with our samba/cups setup: It seems like workstations which are locked but where users with the SePrintOperatorPrivilege are logged on destroy the ntprinters.tdb. This always takes place when the logrotate on the sambaserver runs the postrotatescript and restarts cups while the client is doing whatever it has to do. /var/log/messages says:

Hello, I am running Windows XP and Windows NT workstations on a lan with a samba 2.2.4 server providing files and printers to these workstations. I have the following printers shared by samba: HP LaserJet 1200 Epson Stylus Color 3000 Epson Stylus Pro XL HP DesignJet 755 CM HP DesignJet 2500 CP The problem I am having is that Windows XP and Windows NT are using different drivers for the same

Hello. I'm trying to find a way to administer a (set of) standalone samba machines (3.x style) locally. Most things are now done using `net rpc' command. But this one connects to a (local) samba server over network, and hence requires auth. Another example is pdbedit tool which accesses local passdb.tdb file directly as long as user running this command has the necessary permissions.

Hi, I have sucessfully installed an ad-integrated samba server. We mainly use the server for printer sharing and are very happy with it. We only have one problem or missing feature: On a Windows Server, you change the name of a printer, so that it is different to the share name. We use 8-letter sharenames for being compatible to old Win9x-Clients, bbut we would like to have logner, more

Hello everybody, we have a lot of printers shared by samba, which are still offering the old "version 2" W32X86 style print drivers, though most of our clients have been upgraded to w2k and above meanwhile. Therefore I would like to delete these old drivers, but I don't know how to achieve this without deleting the drivers for all architectures (with rpcclient -c

Hi, we are using samba 3.0.24 as a printspooler for 80 network printers with a 500kB ntprinters.tdb for some years now. When we recently restarted samba we noticed that the ntprinters.tdb automatically shrinked to 24kB and printing was no longer possible. tdbdump of the original tdb-file is impossible too: "Failed to open ntprinters.tdb" The strange thing about this: we can solve
