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

Hello. We are using a Samba 2.2.5 as a PDC on a Debian GNU/Linux server. This server also handles a few printers, through LPRng. On the Unix side, no problem (duplex, simplex, short-duplex), everything works fine. I followed the instructions from the howto collection "Printing Support in Samba 2.2.x" to make these printers available on Samba. Most of the described procedure worked

I've also posted this message to the lprng list, but as I'm currently not sure where the problem lies, I'm posting it here too in the hope that someone has a clue..... I have recently installed a printer accounting system on my systems, and changed the print model for some of my users. In most cases, this has been fine, but users who are using HP Laserjet 4 printers are experiencing

I am having trouble adding windows printer drivers to samba server. I am trying to configure a stand alone samba print server on Ubuntu karmic 64 bit server. I have cups working and have added a few printers. I can see the printers in samba and I can print to them if I add the print drivers manually, but I want my clients to just be able to add the printer and have the drivers come down

Hi, I'm using debian woody with samba (2.2.3a-12.3). After installing 2.2.8a everything that worked, still works. What didn't work, still doesn't work. Sharing files works properly. I'd like to share a printer via the samba server. When I go to the printers&faxes share in explorer, no printers are shown. Hereunder is my smb.conf, /etc/lprng/printcap, and the logfile

Hello all, Please forgive me if this is a FAQ, but I haven't seen it explicitly in any of the docs (although I find the Samba documentation EXTREMELY confusing and complex, so I may have missed it). Essentially, I have been able to follow the instructions in 'PRINTER_DRIVER.txt', and Win9x clients can install printer drivers for Samba shared printers instantly and easily. However

Greetings, all, I have a fresh install of Samba 2.2.7 on a Solaris 9 machine. Stand alone, not part of a domain. Testing with a stand alone Windows 2000 professional client with service pack 3 installed. I am having problems setting defaults for the installed printer drivers and I have been unable to load Win98 drivers to go along with the W2k drivers. Printers being tested are an HP LJ

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.

Hello. We have an Apple LaserWriter8500 printer that has a duplex printing unit. The printer is configured to print on both sides of a sheet by default (e.g. if I print a document with unix lpr command, they print on both sides). However, I couldn't manage to make my Win2k desktop to print dual-sided output on that printer although I am sending the jobs to the same LPRng queue (routed through

Hello everyone, I was wondering about the behaviour of printer drivers, in relation with Samba. The printer is installed, printing on Samba goes via lprng, and Windows printer drivers are installed on the Samba server. On the other hand I have an NT4 server with the same drivers (same version) printing to the same printer over the same protocol (LPD). (BTW, the printer is an HP Laserjet

Nobody who can help use with this issue? A developer already began to fix it 3/4 year ago, but never created a patch that finally fix the whole problem. -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: [Samba] Samba 3.4 / 3.5: Printer settings not available for normal users Datum: Tue, 18 Jan 2011 09:32:58 +0100 Von: Marc Muehlfeld <Marc.Muehlfeld at medizinische-genetik.de> An: Jack

Hi, I'm trying to "install" the printer drivers of my HP Inkjet 3000 PS Printer on a linux running samba and lprng. So far configuration of samba seems correct (working print$ and so on), but the adddriver command issued cia rpcclient terminates with NT_STATUS_UNSUCEDDFULL. So far my search in the web was unsucessful. I think I have correctly traced the problem via the samba

No matter what I try I was unable to upload the drivers to my samba machine from the property sheet. I don't get any error as I don't even get the chance to press 'New Driver'. I followed the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html to the letter (or so I beleive). But everytime I get the the "Advance Tab", the "New Driver button is greyed out. However I can modify

Hi- I wanted to share my experience w/ the list in getting a completely wide open file and printer (w/ automagic driver download) with security = share setup working. My requirement was to setup a server for a small office of XP boxes w/ file and printer sharing and had always done samba as domain controller w/ full logons etc. No need for any security in this setup and I wanted to have the

Hi, I am attempting to configure our samba server for print driver download. The server itself was installed from RedHat 7.3 and has been configured to used cups instead of lpd/lprng. After studying the documentation on cups/samba, I decided to try the Adobe driver install. I used the cupsaddsmb program to perform the driver install, which works fine except for the "rpcclient

Hi, I've recently set up LPRng on my system in preparation for moving my organisation to a Samba/Linux based printing solution. I have a test printer properly set up, and issuing lpr commands from the command line works fine. I also have Samba set up with domain security and all the file sharing is also working OK. Whenever I try to print a test page to my Samba shared printer, I get the
