similar to: Samba/CUPS new printer not showing up, must restart

I'm very new to Linux and Samba so bear with me - I am migrating our business to a Linux/Samba network from an NT network - using Samba as a PDC. We are running RH7.3, Samba v2.2.7a, and CUPS v1.1.14 I have a test network set-up which includes the Linux/Samba PDC server, a Win2000 client and a HP Jetdirect network printer (Laserjet 4Si) Domain logons and filesharing works fine, but I

We have been using CUPS to handle printing and have run into some "features" some of which a fresh install of the responsible server will probably fix. However there are some disparities between the documentation and our practical experience for which a clear statement would help others. The docs state when using CUPS the relevent lines of SMB.CONF should look like this: printing=cups

Ok... here we go, I have a server running RH 7.3, samba 2.2.3a, and CUPS 1.1.14. All the printers we have are networked printers sitting off of Linksys printservers. On this server I am sharing all off our printers out via Samba. See my smb.conf file below. This server works perfectly. All printers are shared out successfully. Primary CUPS server: [global] workgroup = NEW

I have installed Samba-3.0.22 with CUPS on my Solaris 10 box. It prints fine and shows up in my CUPS queue but active print jobs in my CUPS queue don't show up in my Windows Print Driver queue on my client! I've also tried not using CUPS and having it call lpstat but it still doesn't work! When I run CUPS' lpstat in command line it can see the jobs. What am I doing wrong?

I can upload most drivers to samba (2.2.6pre). However when it comes to the built-in windows XP drivers I am faced with a dialog box asking for the driver location. I've tried various directories on the cd and inside of windows itself but it constantly puts up an error message saying that no drivers could be found in e:\printers\nt4\i386 no matter what path i choose it seems to revert to

Hi. I've just installed Samba 2.2.8 (SuSE Linux 8.0). My clients are running Win2000 Pro. I'm struggeling with the printer setup. Could anybody route me to an detailed step-by-step guide on how to do this right OR maybe explain it to me? What I have is this: ------------------- [print$] comment = Printers ... path = /home/ANDROMEDA/printers write list =

Hi, I'm having problems with Samba printing. Setup is:- Samba 2.2.8a Debian Woody LPRng printing HP Laserjet 4 plus printer Windows NT 4 clients Printing is set up using a print$ share and spoolss, with the driver on the server. All users connected to this printer have their machines set to UK regional settings, and the document defaults and printer properties in the printer driver setup

samba-2.2.8 and cups-1.1.18, samba linked with cups. Whenever I add or remove a printer in cups, I need to restart samba otherwise it won't see the changes. Is this the way it is supposed to be or am I doing something wrong?

Hi all, I have set up a printer in cups and I can see it with lpstat -a, and I can print to it. I put what I thought was the appropriate stuff in smb.conf, and yet no printer shows up to the NT client I'm testing with, or in smbclient -L output. Any ideas at all? Here is the relevant info: ### smb.conf excerpts ### [global] ... printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache

Hello All. Anyone know what the cause of this error is in Centos 4? $ system-config-printer Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/system-config-printer", line 9, in ? import queueTree File "/usr/share/printconf/util/queueTree.py", line 1236, in ? queueTree() File "/usr/share/printconf/util/queueTree.py", line 138, in __init__ if

Hi [Samba]s I have RedHat 8.0, and have installed a compiled CUPS 1.1.19pre4 and Samba 3.0 (latest this week from CVS). It all compiles and installs OK with CUPS support in Samba, but no printers show up (according to smbclient -L or from windoze) when "printing=cups" is used. It is OK if another form of printing is used, for example "printing=sysv". A reversion to Samba

CUPS must be up and running ("lpstat -r" must be returning "scheduler is running"). This is precisely because of the described bug, which causes Samba *not* to update the list of available printers

Hi all, I'm new to this list, as to SAMBA, and I'm struggling with getting a printer to work as a shared printer in a Windows network with a redhat 9 server. The printer is a HP 4550 Color LaserJet, installed with CUPS to the server, via JetDirect (port 9100). It prints testpages fine from the Linux-server. It was installed with the install-printer-utility in RedHat9. I have then shared

Some notes first: Fedora Core 1 (2 node HA cluster, heartbeat & drbd) Cups 1.1.20 Samba 3.0.4 400 Windows 2000/XP clients 50 print queues HP Laserjets, Xerox colour multifunctionals, Ricoh mulitfunctionals, HP DesignJet plotters 2000+ print jobs/day 8000+ pages/day 5GB + print data/day I have a custom printer accounting application that is run by samba when a print job arrives at

it just says /usr/sbin/swat.new Aborted when i run it from the command line. nothing i can see in the logs... The swat binary from a 2 week old head now (with the rest of the installation from today's head) seems to work okay. what's going on with swat - did i screw up the build? Are others also having problems? (nothing in the marc) brad

Hi, while using cups as a print system and sharing all the printers with samba to windows clients, is it possible to 'view' a newly created printer in the browse list without restarting smbd ? (samba 2.2.7) Holger

I am using Samba to successfully load the printer list directly from CUPS with one fairly significant caveat. If a printer is added to CUPS while Samba is running there is apparently nothing I can do to have it visibly appear when doing a list of the services in Samba (such as with "smbclient -L"). This is also a problem if Samba starts before CUPS in the boot sequence. I find that

After trying to get WinXP (Pro) to try and find my domain so I can log on I've finally done it, but now when I try and join my WinXP client to the domain, windows asks me to enter the username and password of an account with permission to join the domain. Now which account would this be?? root doesn't work, neither do my other samba users. Do I have to create another user or something?
