similar to: i can't print directly to my samba printer server...

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

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 am having a bit of a problem getting my Samba printer configuration to work with Windows XP(I am running samba on Linux Redhat 7.3). My other shares seem to work as I can find my files on the my Linux system using XP. I have used redhat 7.3 kde printer configurations to create the appropriate files. The result is when I try to send a print job the printer kicks into to gear but only a blank

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 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, Excuse me for my English. I use an impression (not yet;) and file server samba 2.2.5 on a red hat 7.2. I try to print starting from a station under Windows 2000 but I obtain the error "the handle is invalid". I installed the drivers for my impimante on the W2000 station but I would like to also know if the drivers of the printer are necessary for the W2000 workstation AND

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

Hi All, After connecting a HP DeskJet 950C printer to my NT Server and configuring it as a share printer, I used samba and printconf to connect to it. I setup the printer in printconf as a Samba (SMB) Printer/Windows Printer (SMB) Share After restarting the lpd daemon, I can print successfully the ASCII test page and other linux files, e.g. smb.conf, /etc/fstab, etc. My problem is that I am unable

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

Good afternoon, This is my first post, so please be gentle ;) Anyway, here's my question....I've recently put together a Linux Server for our company, replacing an old Novel server. I have the box set up with Samba, as a PDC on our network. So far, just about everything is working correctly. One issue I'm coming up against, though, is printing from DOS. I have Samba

Hello all. I have a question about setting up samba to serve windows printing. I have been trying to research this but keep coming up with conflicting howto's. Can someone give me directions to an up-to-date print howto? It would be greatly appreciated as I am stuck on this.

Greetings, all: I'm having trouble working out a printing problem between my Samba box, and my Windows 2000 client. Here's the background: Network: Home network with a Slackware 8 box running Samba, 1 Windows 2000 client, 1 Windows 98 client, and a LEAF Project firewall providing Internet access. The Samba server should only be available to local clients. Systems: Slackware box:

I just joined this list, If this has been answered before I apologize: I have a Redhat 7.2 box running Samba 2.2.4 I have a few printers running on JetDirect boxes that I am attempting to print to. I used printconf in Redhat to set them up within the linux box. Everything works fine from the linux box. I set them up within samba (see [printers] below), but when I print I get "Failed to

I'm having some problems sharing my printer with samba. The printer works fine locally, but whenever I try to connect to it from a windows machine i get the error message "Access denied, unable to connect" the parts of my /etc/smb.conf concerned with printing look like this printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes printing = lprng [printers] comment = All

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

Hi, Having a very odd problem with a printer that I've had up and running for over a year now with no previous issues. There have been no software or hardware updates recently that should have affected it. The printer is managed via CUPS and its details are loaded from the CUPS printcap. At some point late on the afternoon of the 11th, samba started rejecting print jobs sent to it.

Hi, I successfully setup printing on my FreeBSD box using Samba with apsfilter and lprng. However, I have encountered two issues: 1) Cannot print multiple copies of documents from my windows box (e.g. notepad). Only the first copy is printed and the rest don't get printed. 2) My spool directory is getting filled up and I would like the job removed after the print job is finished I've

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

Ah, it appears that I have confused myself... I indeed have ALL of the queues defined as JetDirect with the model specific driver selected in printconf. With this combination I am telling linux to modify the job [via the filter] and then pass it as a RAW [jetdirect] where I SHOULD just have the queue define as JetDirect with a RAW as the driver and let the job go as transmitted by the client
