similar to: Win2K Printer Driver Problems - Hi Jerry!!

Hi all, I have uploaded the printer drivers succesfully on RedHat Linux/ Samba 2.2.4 server. I can download and print without any problems. But when I do Windows API call GetPrinter with PRINTER_INFO_2, the devmode in printer_info is always null. My code looks like HANDLE hPrinter=NULL; PRINTER_DEFAULTS pDefaults; pDefaults.DesiredAccess = PRINTER_ACCESS_USE;

Hi: I am haviong problems with Landscape mode on our HP printers (many models). I am running 2.2.7a on two different servers. One is using the "old style" printing (using "printer driver file" parameter). The other is using the newer printing system. It is the same code on both. Both are Solaris systems. For the old one, the drivers are installed on the client, for the

We upgraded to 2.2.6rc2 yesterday to continue our resolving of the printer driver problems. (Thanks Jerry & Rohin) For unrelated reasons I wanted to log into the machine late last night and found Putty couldn't connect. When I get in this morning the server was completely hooped with Out of Memory errors on the screen with SMBD as the offending process. Trying to log into any console

Samba 2.2.7a (built from samba RPM's) with LPRng print subsystem. I've been having troubles with some print drivers which fail to work properly when uploaded to the samba server whether devmode gets left as null or a default devmode is used. Some drivers do not leave you in a position where you can "tickle" the driver to generate a devmode with page orientation etc before

Greetings, We are running samba 3.0.7 with cups 1.1.20 to serve printing to WinXP pro SP1 clients running Microsoft Access 2002 Our users are having problems "Creating reports in design view" in MS Access when the default printer is a samba queue. As soon as you change the default printer to a non samba queue, everything works fine. I've been searching the archives and it

Running samba installed from rpm 2.2.5-1 on rh 7.2 system... security=domain with winbind to NT pdc, LPRng Trying to pause printing without specifying a queuepause command I get: You do not have permissions to modify the settings for this printer. If you need to change the settings, contact your network administrator. With queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc stop %p queueresume command =

Hi folks, Whilst viewing printers on a samba 2.2.5 (just been upgraded from 2.2.4) server, both an NT and W2K machine had the print spooler service killed off at the same time. I have been reliably informed that this doesn't just happen like that! Any ideas as to why this would happen, as its a bit of a major prob. Thanks a lot, Mark Vodden Unix and Web Systems Engineer IS Operations

RH 7.2 (LPRng) samba installed from 2.2.5-1 rpm with the following patches from http://us4.samba.org/samba/ftp/patches/jerry/post-2.2.5/: Makefile.in.patch addform.diff ldap_start_tls.patch parse_sec.patch srv_spoolss_nt.patch security=domain (using winbind), authenticate against windows pdc and use windows wins server. What I do: Connect to \\share-name from w2k pro as printer admin,

Now that I have winbind working, life is good. However, I've hit upon a real kick in the pants. As you can see from my email address, we have a convention here of usernames being firstname.lastname. So, when I go to change the owner ship of a file: $ chown chris.palmer myfile Linux thinks I mean user chris, group palmer, and says "invalid group" (there is no palmer group,

[Shane Drinkwater] Daniel, I have the same probelm. These are the steps I did in a previous thread... Jim, I think I found another bug... I really seem to be in printer hell :(.... I found that windows 2k doesn't update its status "ready" or "paused" when used with samba. Here is what I did... 1.) enable all of the lpr/lpd queues. check em' with lpq... 2.)

2.2.6 installed from rpm on rh 7.2 system... I'm trying to use pam_winbind and apache's basic authentication to restrict access to certain directories served by apache. It does work, but when I enter a wrong password I get this error in log.winbindd: Plain-text authentication for user jarboed returned NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD Is there a way that pam_winbind.so can encrypt the passwords

Using RH7.1, Samba 2.2.2 in a Win2k mixed-mode domain. wbinfo returns expected results but getent only returns linux users any ideas?

I'm experimenting with Samba 2.2.7a in my home office-- all is well except only I can open my Word files copied to our Samba share. All other users can only open them "Read-only". Please help me correct this. Thanks, --EdB <tkged@earthlink.net> Here's the smb.conf file: [global] netbios name = Server01 workgroup = TKG os level = 64 preferred master

Recently I upgraded a server from samba 3.0.2a to 3.0.6, and now apache won't authenticate properly with pam_winbind. Winbind's been restarted, apache has been restarted, for grins I even rebooted the server. >From /var/log/messages: Aug 26 10:24:51 linps2 pam_winbind[654]: user 'jarboed' granted acces >From apache's error log: [Thu Aug 26 10:24:51 2004] [error] (2)No

I have multiple samba servers. smb1 is my master, smb2 is a slave. My master has this: name resolve order=wins hosts bcast # wins server=127.0.0.1 wins support=yes The Slave has this: name resolve order=wins hosts bcast # wins server=<IP OF Master> wins support=no After 24 hours the Master forgets who the slave is. If I restart the slave he notifies the master who

Hello once again, I've got winbind doing authentication not just for the samba service but also sshd and login. It's great. However, I have to give a fully-qualified username (e.g. "GENEEDINC+chris.palmer") as the username when logging in via these methods. I wondered, Is there any way to get winbindd to insert the domain and the separator for the user, when none is provided? I

Why is the smb.conf Parameter "default devmode" missing in pretty much any samba documentation like man page etc ?? does someone have a good "official " explaination about this parameter ?

I finally got my drivers to upload to the print$ share by using the add_print_package.pl script form imprints, and I was able to attach the driver to the printer created with SWAT (the rpc command: addprinter does not work) by using the rpc command: setdriver. So at this point whenever I connect a client to the machine it no longer asks about trying to find a driver. However when I go to open the

We are a primarily Linux company with a NIS backend, but we keep a couple "bridge boxes" for Windows users (on a Windows PDC) to connect to their unix accounts and access data. Under Samba 2.2, this was fairly easy with "encrypt passwords = no" turned on. But I can't figure out how to make it work with Samba 3. Does Samba 3 not support a unix passwd backend, or am I
