Hi, I have a RedHat7.3 distro running Samba-2.2.3a. I've never had this problem before 2.2.x versions of samba. I'm using domain security and sharing 2 printers, an HP4050 and Ricoh. Everyone can print fine except that, seemingly randomly, printjobs end up in the queue as paused (according to winXPpro and Win98). Nobody can unpause or delete them. The only way to remove them is to

Hi there Brian! I've seen your email on one of the samba mailing list. This has been my problem for a long time. I just want to share this problem directly to you and i hope you can lend me your help. I'm trying to setup windows printer sharing using SAMBA installed on my Linux box (Redhat 7.3 as printer server) and windows 2000 pro as my client. My win2k clients are connected to a

Hello, Excuse me for my English. I use an impression (not yet;) and file server samba 2.2.5 on a red hat 7.2. I try to print starting from a station under Windows 2000 but I obtain the error "the handle is invalid". I installed the drivers for my impimante on the W2000 station but I would like to also know if the drivers of the printer are necessary for the W2000 workstation AND

I don't have a solution, but I do want to keep this thread alive until we get it resolved. I'm in the same situation. I can print fine, but it says that annoying message. Do you guys print to an LPD unix queue? My linux print server is sending the job to a LPD linux box that is connected to the printer local. (Our printer support requires it that way). Has anyone been able to

I am having a bit of a problem getting my Samba printer configuration to work with Windows XP(I am running samba on Linux Redhat 7.3). My other shares seem to work as I can find my files on the my Linux system using XP. I have used redhat 7.3 kde printer configurations to create the appropriate files. The result is when I try to send a print job the printer kicks into to gear but only a blank

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

Hi, I am using Samba (v2.2.3a-12.3 on stable Debian Woody) on a bi-cpu server (named MYSRV) acting as a primary domain controller. All works well except for printers where I have severals little problems. I use LPRng (v3.8.10-1.2 on stable Debian Woody) as my linux lpd spooler on my server. I have 2 printers : one HP LaserJet 4000N (named nss.1er) and one HP LaserJet 4050N (named nss.rdc).

Hi All, After connecting a HP DeskJet 950C printer to my NT Server and configuring it as a share printer, I used samba and printconf to connect to it. I setup the printer in printconf as a Samba (SMB) Printer/Windows Printer (SMB) Share After restarting the lpd daemon, I can print successfully the ASCII test page and other linux files, e.g. smb.conf, /etc/fstab, etc. My problem is that I am unable

I am using Red Hat 8.0 with KDE, and I have installed samba-common and samba-client packages, version 2.2.7-4.8.0. The Windows server is a Windows 2000 Server with a HP LaserJet 4500. I can use "smbclient -L //server -U user" to view the shares. After setting up in the Red Hat Printer Config, now I can see the status of the printer is "Idle (accepting jobs)" in the

Ah, it appears that I have confused myself... I indeed have ALL of the queues defined as JetDirect with the model specific driver selected in printconf. With this combination I am telling linux to modify the job [via the filter] and then pass it as a RAW [jetdirect] where I SHOULD just have the queue define as JetDirect with a RAW as the driver and let the job go as transmitted by the client

Hi all, I've been reading quite a few of the posts to this mailing list, and I'm afraid that my question is going to look very noobish, but as I am one, that's to be expected, so apologies in advance for my post getting caught up in more serious samba queries. I have two PCs, one a workstation (biggeek.supermail.dyndns.org, 192.168.1.100), and the other a general server machine

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.
