similar to: Linux workstation can't print to Samba printserver

Hi list. I've just got Samba up and running as a fileserver just fine. Now I'm trying to use it as a printserver using CUPS. I can see said printer via Network Neighborhood on XP boxes and add it in Windows but no print jobs complete. No errors in Windows yet no printing start on the printer. Would this be a question of spool permissions? Right now I'm using spool

Baxter, I could be wrong, but I thought /etc/printcap was the config for bsd style printing - not cups.

Hi all. I've got most of the Samba config dialed in yet I still cannot get printing or file sharing going from my main desktop (Debian Sarge). Here's what I tried: root@PlanetExpress:/home/bax# mount -t smbfs -o username=planetexpress,password=tigerlily //printserver/homes /mnt/Samba Unknown parameter encountered: "passdb backend" Ignoring unknown parameter "passdb

Hi all, I've looked through the archives and I can't seem to find a solution, so here's my problem. I have three Win2k clients and one Samba server which I set up as a PDC (or at least I thought so.) The domain is "THEMOLE" yet when I try to join the domain from the clients it says; "The following error occured validaing the name "THEMOLE" The specified

Hi list, I've browsed through the archives, but I didn't find a answer for this: I use smbclient to access a windowsNT 4.0 server. I get only '?' for filenames which contains Umlauts. F.e., a file called "Verkn?pfung" is displayed as "Verkn?pfung". I use following mount-string: mount.smbfs //SERVER/Share /home/xxx -o rw noexec nosuid nodev user codepage

Dear all, using LinNeighborhood I can view and access all share folders of windows PC. From Network Neighborhood windows Ican see Samba but can't access. Error message is "Network Path was not found". I try using net view \\samba get same error message.

Could somebody please explain just how one is supposed to set up samba users, groups and passwords so connections can be established to Win2k clients to connect to FBSD samba server for file sharing and to use cups for printing. I am afraid that the manuals and config files and various examples I have found on the Internet are quite confusing. How is the Windows username/passord related to

OK, I've tried changing my printcap name from printcap to cups. Printing works fine locally using CUPS on the Samba box. What am I missing here? Why can't I print to the Samba box via the Windows and linux clients? Shared directories work fine. I am really frustrated here and have exhausted Google and all other resources I have. Here's my smb.conf for what it's worth.

Hi , I need to do my user_windows "eng.processo" to acess my unix solaris 2.x as user_unix "cs02929".

Hello, I'm having problems to join a japanese W2K Client with SrvPck 2 installed to my samba 2.2.5 PDC controlled domain. Other Clients are no problem (Win98, W2k engl., WXP german). I check the regKey (for plaintextpassword; set to 1). Reinstalled SevPck 2, but didn't help. the problem must be on Client side because I having the same problem when jooining a other samba controlled

We're running Samba 2.2.2 on an RS/6000 (AIX 4.3.3) using Windows 95 clients. We've tried the "hide files" and "veto files" option in smb.conf, but when the shares are mapped, we can still see the contents in Windows Explorer. We used the wildcard for all the contents of the shares (ex. hide files = /*.*/). The Samba manual only makes reference to Windows 98, so

I have samba setup and serving properly to one of my Win2K boxes, I can access shares and create/delete/move files from one of my Win2K hosts but not the others. I went through a bazillion steps debugging to get the first Win2k box connecting so its hard to say what it is that the other boxes (or the samba server) isn't doing. When trying to connect from one of the other Win2K boxes (through

G'day all Is it possible to get fstab to mount a samba share? I see it can mount nfs shares, but I need to know about samba shares Thanks

When I encountered weird messages when trying to mount Samba shares on a Linux box the solution was to make sure I had the location of smbmount and smbmnt in my path. On RedHat 6.2 the path is /usr/sbin. I have not seen your exact error before though. Hope that helps.

hi, I'm having trouble printing with smbclient via an embedded USB printserver. This printserver is a nifty little $35 box with an Ethernet jack and a USB jack that provides network access to your USB printer as a Windows share (a poor man's Jetdirect, if you will). I can connect to the printer with smbclient, but when I try to print anything, even a small text file, I always get the

Hello, I running on Solaris, and configured Samba to be a domain logon server for windows9x boxes. In the dialog box that appear in the startup, I typed the login name, the passwd and the domain.

I recently upgraded from RedHat 6.2 to 7.3. I had samba running fine so I could mount space on our windows network. Somehow this got broken in the upgrade. My linux box is called k466a and my username there is mcliff. On the windows network I am cliffm. If I do ~$ smbclient -L MCBRAGG -U cliffm added interface ip=128.210.132.45 bcast=128.210.132.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password:

Okay, I've got some progress now. Have fairly decent printserver working. I've been able to reproduce the same postive and negative results in two physical servers and now (finaly destination) a vmware server. What's working: ADS integration, this is a domain member Printer driver installation (for a few drivers) Printer installation / removal Printing. What's not working:

Hello, I've got an rh9 box which i am using for printing. I've got cups configured and my printer is working fine. Originally, i intended to use samba 2.2.x for printing, but then i saw that 3.0 was out so i installed it's rpm instead. My first of many questions, for printing to work correctly, samba and cups, what must be specified in terms of the printing line in smb.conf, bsd or

Running RH6.0 I am able to print just fine from linux, the problem now is getting smb printing working. I am using an Intel Netport Express PRO/100 printserver. Previous to my upgrade from RH5.2 when I had the printer directly connected to the samba server, I was able to print just fine from the windows client machines (not using the raw method) My /etc/printcap is as follows ##PRINTTOOL3##
