similar to: Using working devmode from windows clients on samba server?

Hi all, I have uploaded the printer drivers succesfully on RedHat Linux/ Samba 2.2.4 server. I can download and print without any problems. But when I do Windows API call GetPrinter with PRINTER_INFO_2, the devmode in printer_info is always null. My code looks like HANDLE hPrinter=NULL; PRINTER_DEFAULTS pDefaults; pDefaults.DesiredAccess = PRINTER_ACCESS_USE;

Nope, close but no cigar. With 2.2.6Pre2 Word started to behave itself but Outlook acts as though landscape is a foreign concept(i.e everything prints portrait regardless of page setup). Spoolsv also crashes on the Win2K workstations requiring a manual restart of the spooler service. We will downgrade to 2.2.5 and try Jerry's patch. In another message Jerry talks about "running"

Our server is a SuSE Linux 7.2 with CVS samba 2.2 branche. Version number is 2.2.pre-4. We updated today. We have a problem with the default devmode in Windows 2000 (SP2) clients. We have uploaded the printerdrivers to the share print$. The Samba printeradministrator is able to change the printer capabilities as memory, trays, papersize. etc. Changes are global: when a user logs in, he sees

Hi. Recently i created a print server with cups 1.2.8 and smbd Version 3.0.24-1.fc5 under a fedora 5 box. I've installed some printer like as HP laserjet 2820, Konica Minolta di2510, konica minolta 2430dl, hp laserjet 2600. Drivers were uploaded with sucess. But i was getting a problem when try to create a device mode for HP laserjet 2600. All others work fine. In clientes with windows 2k,

Hi Jerry, hi @all, some users with 3.0.10 with printing patch have problems with old printjobs in her status monitor in windows. Loglevel 10 shows two problems: 1. The devmode for this printer was not set properly (I know, thiswill cause problems). log.smbd: [2005/01/05 14:02:09, 8] rpc_parse/parse_spoolss.c:smb_io_reldevmode(2407) boing, the devmode was NULL 2. A buffer overflow is logged.

Why is the smb.conf Parameter "default devmode" missing in pretty much any samba documentation like man page etc ?? does someone have a good "official " explaination about this parameter ?

Hi all. I'm using wine-20010824 snapshot, and I'm trying to configure WINE PS driver.

I have gotten 'point-and-print' working, but there are a couple small issues/questions I am trying to get my grasp around: - rpcclient print-1201 -U root%secret -c 'enumdrivers' this lists the drivers twice (I saw one other post about this, without any followup) - When adding drivers via the Windows APW, after uploading the drivers and the APW closing - are you supposed to

Hi, I am trying to query a W2K PDC for info on a print driver by issuing the following command: rpcclient -Uxxx%yyy -d 3 -c 'getdriver "HP LaserJet 8000 Series PS"' abert The response I get is: Initialising global parameters params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file "/etc/samba/smb.conf" Processing section "[global]" added interface

Hi, I have a problem with my printing setup of a windows XP client with a samba server. The windows driver seems to use different ways of smb/printer communication for printing in normal/duplex mode and for printing brochures. The latter failes silently. normal/duplex printing uses: SMB Open Print File Request brochure printing starts with: SPOOLSS OpenPrinterEx request I recorded the network

I'm using RH 7.1 with 20011108. Wine is running well with the few simple apps that I use with it. The only problem that I'm having is with printing. I've followed the somewhat conflicting instructions that I've found around the web to use the internal PS driver and at least gotten that much to show up in the dialog box on WinSpice3. However, when I attempt to print I get

Hello, Im getting the following error when trying to print from Lotus Wordpro, error:winspool:WINSPOOL_GetDevModeFromReg corrupted registry for l"Default DevMode" ( size 8) error:winspool:WINSPOOL_GetDevModeFromReg corrupted registry for l"Default DevMode" ( size 8) Segmentation fault.

Greetings, We are running samba 3.0.7 with cups 1.1.20 to serve printing to WinXP pro SP1 clients running Microsoft Access 2002 Our users are having problems "Creating reports in design view" in MS Access when the default printer is a samba queue.

Hi there. I've been some days dealing with printing problems in Win2k clients, having a Samba 2.2.5 parched with "parse_sec.patch" as a printer server. When I try to print anything, explorer.exe dies. Sometimes dies spoolsv.exe, or sometimes all the system locks (it may be because explorer do not restart). It happens to all my Win2k clients with Service Pack 2, and only when using

Hello, I am trying to install automatic printer driver download and install. I am running Samba 3, as a PDC, on RedHat 7.3. It seems everything is setup correctly, although I cannot get the rpcclient to 'see' my printer. Please notice these two printers listed below ar the same (lp & HP2300). [root@mercury log]# rpcclient -U=root localhost Password: rpcclient $> enumprinters

Now that I have winbind working, life is good. However, I've hit upon a real kick in the pants. As you can see from my email address, we have a convention here of usernames being firstname.lastname. So, when I go to change the owner ship of a file: $ chown chris.palmer myfile Linux thinks I mean user chris, group palmer, and says "invalid group" (there is no palmer group,

I've been having a few problems with samba-2.2.8pre2-1 --with-winbind --with-winbind-challenge-response Rh 7.2, 2.4.9-38 on s/390, glibc-2.2.4-31 rpcclient segfaults on enumdrivers 3... I hadn't tried it with earlier versions of samba, but the man pages indicate enumdrivers 1, 2, and 3 are supported. If you'd like to see a -d 10 or -d 100, or the /var/log/messages dump, just let me

Hello, I've Googled and done some mailing list searches, but can't figure out the following .
