I'm running Red Hat version 7.2 as server. It has been fully upgraded from Red Hat UP2DATE. Samba 2.2.3a is currently running on the server with a working smb.conf file. I've noted a lot of comments/suggestions to upgrade to Samba 2.2.7. I find 2 files on the samba.org site for Red Hat 7.x: samba2.2.7-1.i386.rpm and samba2.2.7.src.rpm When trying to install with the Package Manager I

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".

Hello, I just moved from SuSE 7.0 to SuSE 7.1 by reinstalling. I use HP 2100TN JetDirect printer. I use kernel-2.4.2, LPRng-3.6.26, ifhp-3.4.4, Samba-2.0.7 Printing from Linux server works just as before. Printing from Windows clients has problems.

Hi, I've been using Samba for a while, and I'm now running all network printing here from Samba. However, while printing itself works fine, my users can neither view the print queue, nor delete jobs from it, and this is beginning to get annoying. I'm using LPRng to do all the printing. All the clients are NT4 workstations. Here's some selected bits of /etc/smb.conf and

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-3.0.5 on OpenBSD 3.5. I'm trying out using samba as a print server for the first time, and it works ok, but I have this problem where everytime I print anything, a additional blank page comes out of the printer at the end of what was just printed. It's an old HP Laserjet 4 connected to the parallel port of the samba server. /etc/printcap lp|HP4|HP Laserjet

Hello, Samba team! I am very new to Linux and Samba, so probably my problem is that I need to study more Linux basic concepts, but in the meanwhile, I need to get this working: I have to print from a Linux Suse 7.2 box, where I have installed Samba, to a printer connected to an NT box. I have found things written for printing the other way around, but not too much this way. I defined a printer

A couple of days ago I set up my printer on my FreeBSD server and set it up so I could print from my FreeBSD client. This all works very well, printing from botht the server and the FBSD client. However, I also have samba set up for file serving with an XP box. I have been trying for quite some time now to set samba up to enable me to print from the XP client. My situation at the moment is that

I have been having a printing problem recently on a setup that has worked for quite some time. Configs below. The symtoms are slightly different on a W2K and a WinME workstation, but the result is the same; no printed output. However, when I print from the local Unix server or from any other Unix server in the network the output is as expected. The W2K machine reports 'Access denied,

Good Afternoon, We recently added encrypted smb passwords to our site. I just tried to add a printer to samba and it will not work. I tried to connect to \\sambahost\printer and it will not connect. All the older printers still work. I just wonder if there is an extra step I need to perform now when I add printers? Thanks for your time, Bill -- William M. Fennell Network Administrator

Here's the behavior I see: # ssh don at isis.cs3-inc.com date Thu Apr 6 14:19:16 PDT 2006 # ssh -p 22 don at isis.cs3-inc.com date ssh: isis.cs3-inc.com: System error These ought to be the same thing, since the default port is 22. Whatever port I try to use (other than not specifying one at all) seems to give the same problem. This is on one particular linux (FC4) machine

I am able to see my printer as a share. Well better put, I see four representations of my printer: ascii, lp2, lp-mono, and raw. I tried the naive thing and just selected lp2 and added the cannon bjc 4000 driver for NT. This didn't work. I get an error report: %%[ Error: undefined; offending Command: K ]%% . . . a bunch of strings that I don't understand. This does not look like the

Alright. I had Ubuntu 7.10 with wine .9 something or other. I installed Warcraft 2, Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 all just fine. I then decided I wanted to install Flash CS3 so I was following these instructions as best I could: http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2008/03/flash-cs3-and-photoshop-cs3-running-in.html Once this failed, I decided to upgrade wine to the 1.0 version for

Hello! I?ve got trouble to print via Samba. But read to the end to understand: My printer (a Canon BJC 620) is connected to a Win98 box. Its network name is canon.

Hello I have got the following problem: My Samba printer doesn't allow multiple copies, when trying to print from a client machine. (Unix printing works fine with multple copies).
