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

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".

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

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,

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

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). When I enter more than one copy into the "number of copies" field on a WinXP client machine, I get the error message "This printer cannot print the specified amount of copies. The amount of copies is

I'm currently having a problem with the new released Samba 2.2.5: I cannot print anymore on my shared printer. What is strange is that It worked fine with samba 2.2.4, but now I got an access denied whenever I try to access the printer... /var/spool/lpd/samba is chmod 777 and the username is in the group lp Here is part of my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = HOME netbios name =

Hi, I've recently installed LPRng 3.6.22, ifhp 3.3.19, and Samba 2.0.7 on my FreeBSD 4.1 system. Printing works fine from the FreeBSD machine, and I am able to access shares via my Win2000 machine. I've configured a [printers] section in smb.conf, and I am able to see the LaserJet 2100 when browsing, but on installing it I am unable to print to it. I get en error connecting the 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 a bit of a problem, however, I am not sure if it has been solved, or what. I have: RedHat Linux 7.2 samba version 2.2.1a Client machine is Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5.0) Printer: using an NT driver on an NT machine configured to print to the port-'file'. problem: I am trying to print a file on a samba file server to a "printer".

<It seems that the print command is trying to find the printer at location 'localhost'. Since this is a network printer it is not at localhost is it?> Yeah, the error messages made no sense to me either! Well, like I said earlier: < The IP address of this printer is 10.1.1.192. I call this printer nero, and have it listed in my /etc/hosts file> Here is a copy of part of my

I have encountered a strange printing problem with Samba 2.2.4 running under HP-UX 11i. In the process of investigating a printing problem, I have found that Samba has stopped passing jobs along to the UNIX lp spooler as of yesterday afternoon. When NT/W2K clients print to printers on my server, the jobs are accepted, Samba spool files are created in the spool directory defined for the printer

Morning... Just spent this evening getting printing setup off my FreeBSD machine (oh, how I love Solaris at these times *groan*)...got it now so that I can print directly from Netscape, color and graphics and all. The printer is an HP 560c. Now, I want to be able to print from my Windoze95 machine, and have samba setup for that, as well as file sharing. If I setup my Windoze machine such

I've discovered a couple of things while troubleshooting my printer setup problems. 1. print$ must be 0744. I ran a level-3 debug, and was seeing "chmod failed" errors. Upping it to level-10, I saw something that pointed to unix rights of 0744; my dir's were set to 0755 or 0777...neither worked. When I set print$ and it's subdir's to 0744, the chmod errors went away.

Hello, I am new to Linux and Samba. I am trying to print from a W98 box to a Linux printer. I am using Suse 7.2 and Samba 2.2.8a., and Linux is acting as a PDC. I created a user in Linux and put it in the users group and the lp group. The only way I got this user to print was changing the spool directory permissions (and all the files within it) from 0600 to 0770. BUT when I restarted Linux today,

Hey, I posted a few days ago about how the printer paper sizes are differ from the admin account when they are installed. People at my work are getting pissed at the moment and all they want to do is to be able to change the paper sizes themselves and not have it done at the server Is there a way to do it? I fluked it at one stage and had it working like that, I think I deleted the driver
