similar to: Printing - "lprm command" not getting executed

Unless I make a user a member of the printer admin group in the smb.conf file on the Linux Samba Server, on the W2K client the printer will show up as "Access Denied, Unable to Connect". The user can still connect and print to that printer, however. I just want to get rid of that incorrect status message, because it will cause confusion. Here are the relevant parts of the smb.conf

I have configured Samba on both a RH Linux 7.2 box and Solaris 8 box and am not able to remove print jobs. The lprm command is not getting called. I know that for a fact because I changed lprm command to equal a script which will log when it is called. And that script is never called. There are no errors in any log files - system or samba. The printing parts of the smb.conf file are:

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

Here is my printer config: printing = lprng load printers = yes use client driver = yes printer admin = @edutec, root printcap name = /etc/printcap print command = lpr -U%U@%M -r -P%p -J'%J' %s lpq command = lpq -P%p lprm command = lprm -U%U@%M -P%p %j lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M hold %p %j lpresume command =/usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M release

Hello, I have a new RH 7.2 installation (kernel 2.4.7-10) with Samba 2.2.1a and I can't print from my Win2K box. I get an "Access denied: unable to connect" error from the printer entry in Windows. The logs don't seem to be helping me. Here's my smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = MYGROUP server string = Samba SMB Server interfaces = 192.168.1.1/24 127.0.0.1/24 hosts

I am having problems getting Samba configured so I can print. I am going from Windows XP to Samba. I don't get any error messages in Windows saying that there is a problem. It sends the document then that is it. It is like the document gets lost. I am able to print through Linux and WebMin. What should I look at next? I am using the latest version of Caldera OpenServer. I believe the version

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

Hello, I have successfully installed samba 2.2.8 (with CUPS) as a windows printing server using the print$ share. The W2000 clients are able to send jobs to a printer and view the corresponding printer queue. However, when I try to delete a job from the windows client, I get the error "bad command". My printers share in smb.conf is: [printers] comment = All Printers path =

I'm currently having a problem with the new released Samba 2.2.5: I cannot print anymore on my shared printer. What is strange is that It worked fine with samba 2.2.4, but now I got an access denied whenever I try to access the printer... /var/spool/lpd/samba is chmod 777 and the username is in the group lp Here is part of my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = HOME netbios name =

I know this question has been answered here a while back, but I have not been able to find the mailing with the posts on it. -----==========----- I have a redhat server that I am using as a file/print server for student use. I am using samba to help the users with Windows. The problem I have is that when using printing a user can submit a print job, and it prints fine, but cannot see the

Hi, We've been stuck with this problem for a while now and we believe I tried enough potential solutions to justify my posting here. We're using samba 3.0.14a in Sarge in order to allow printing from Windows workstations (The authentication works with AD+Kerberos+Winbind) to a set of shared printers. Printing works perfectly but we would like to allow users to have control over the jobs

First of all, thanks to everyone who has helped me out so far resolving my samba problems! The latest has to do with LPRng and directory permissions. LPRng requires 0600 permissions on the spool directory, owner daemon group daemon. Whenever a user tries to print through SAMBA, they do not have write access to the spool directory, as teh job comes in user/group of the person who printed. Any

I've seen this issue asked about and asked about in the archives, unfortunately I can't seem to find a real solution only people's theories. The issue involves a 2.2.5 Samba server acting as a member print server in a Windows 2000 domain. I can add printers from the server to clients in the domain and then print. The issue comes when I try and view/manage the print queue from Windows.

Hi again, I changed from 3.4.5 to 3.3.10 after an AD upgrade to 2008R2 and prinitng is working mor ore less but it is incredibly sloooow. My server has no remarkable load so it is not due to hardware bottlenecks. Are there any ways to 'tune' 3.3.10 or any tricks to make it faster ? cheers ~christoph -- /* Christoph Beyer | Office: Building 2b / 23 *\ * DESY

A few weeks ago, I upgraded Samba 3.0.1x to 3.0.14a . After the upgrade, all completed printjobs on all 40 printers stayed in samba's print queue (they were removed from the unix-printqueue). When I installed 3.0.20rc2, everything back to normal. But since the upgrade this weekend to 3.0.20, the same thing happens again: no jobs were removed from the samba printerqueue's. Removing

i'm setting up a samba pdf (virtual) printer. it all works, except that i can't get the windows' job name, to give a readable (and consistent) name to the generated pdf file. according to the manpage i can use %J to get the job name, but it doesn't work. the clients are win98 boxes. i tried to print either a test page, a unsaved word doc and a saved word doc. this is the

Hi, Well, my previous attempt to get info on that matter was lame and therefore no one replied. Here is a second attempt. I need info about how to configure samba server and the windows (2000) client to use a printer on the samba server machine. I read the article: http://de.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#AEN833 but all I got from it was confusion. I need a

All, I have the following in my smb.comf for printing commands... # NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to # specifically define each individual printer [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no print ok = yes print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j
