similar to: Win95 & Win98 - NOT WORKING - NT,2000, XP are ok (reposted)

Please lend me some expertise... Ok, I know suggesting a bug is a bit impolite, but I cannot find a solution for this and none of the helpful people who have responded have been able to help either... If I come off sounding a bit short it's just because I've tried many things to get these older clients printing. :-) Don't mean to annoy anyone. Appreciate any help! Have several

Thanks for the suggestion Andrew, I was hopeful, but removing the writeable made no difference. Still prints from NT, 2000, XP but not from Win95, 98. Any other ideas? -peter.

Did you change your "security" setting in your new Samba e.g. from "share" to "domain"? -----Original Message----- From: peter.a.bryant@mainroads.qld.gov.au [mailto:peter.a.bryant@mainroads.qld.gov.au] Sent: Friday, 14 March, 2003 7:00 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Cc: John H Terpstra Subject: Re: [Samba] Win95 & Win98 - NOT WORKING - NT,2000, XP are ok (reposted)

Hi folks - I am having printing problems with our older machines. Printing is working okay for our Windows NT, 2000 and XP clients. However, with windows 95 & 98, the print job gets put into the Samba spool directory (path = /var/spool/lp/tmp/samba) but doesn't make it to the printer. The print files stay there in the directory - don't get removed. Samba version is 2.2.7a, on

Hi folks, we are experiencing a problem when AutoCAD 2000+ drawing files are saved on a Samba (2.0.8) file share. Regardless of what the file is 'saved as', the name is always converted to all capitals. e.g. Drawing1 becomes DRAWING1 Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. Seems strange that it is only AutoCAD files, but I think it is Samba related, not AutoCAD,

hi When I highlight a printer icon in Win 2K, the Status bar shows Status: Access Denied, Unable to connect. It shows this for all samba printers. I can print a test page even though it shows access denied. Anyone know how to fix this? thanks.

Hi Peter, i had a long, frunstrating web surfing yesterday night, searching for something that could apply to your case. I didn't find much at all, sorry. The only thing perhaps interesting to you could be this: http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/printer_driver2.html This doc contains a section about migrating from 2.0.x to 2.2.x I think the problem lyes in the new way samba

I am using samba to share a directory that lives on an OpenBSD 3.1 box. The client is my linux box. I want to mount this directory so I can use my own tools on the linux box to edit the code. My problem is that there is a file "boucer" which is an executable and a "Bouncer" directory. I'm sure you can see my problem. I tried putting case sensitive = yes in the

We have a problem with file security settings changing when a file is edited by someone who is not the owner. When the edited file is saved, ownership is transferred to the person who edited the file. Also, access control settings for the file are reset to a default setting. This is a real problem, since in some cases it means that the original owner of the file no longer has permission to edit

p.s. forgot to mention parameter settings for the share we are having problems with preserve case = yes default case - not set - default = lower mangle case - not set - default = no ---------------------- Forwarded by Peter A Bryant/EngServ/QMR/Au on 24/05/2002 01:32 PM --------------------------- Peter A Bryant 24/05/2002 01:31 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org cc: Subject: AutoCAD

I have experienced a couple of (minor) problems with Samba Thought I would report these and ask if they are known problems. 1. Problem with "!" in username map file 2. Samba tools e.g. smbstatus, testparm not accounting for "config file" parameter 1. There appears to be a problem with a minor part of username map file interpretation. When I put an exclamation mark

We are experiencing long delays when loading MX files stored on our samba fileserver. We are running version 2.2.7a of Samba on Solaris 8 servers. Using MX version 2.5 and higher on windows 2000 and XP workstations When the files are stored locally they load in a few seconds, whilst taking more than a minute to run from the Samba server. Our current workaround is to store the files locally,

Hi, could someone who is close to the Samba development make a comment about the automatic printer drivers features in Samba 2.2.5 I've been trying to get this working unsuccessfully, and have seen many messages posted from people having trouble with this feature. Not sure if this is an unnusual number of people with problems, but it seems like it ( I could be too close to the problem to see

A day or two ago I posted information about error messages I was getting in my logs after installing 2.2.6. No one has replied! Am I using the wrong list? If you don't mind looking back, please take a look at my message and provide some input! Thanks, Tait Shrum Bryant Public Schools

Hi, got a samba server which serves tons of printers. ok, 70. With some of them, driver installation from a win2k client works, with some it doesnt. printers are ALL configured the same in smb.conf: [(name in unix printing system)] comment = model of printer path = /tmp printable = yes browseable = yes for example: [ljwasat] comment = Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4000 N path =

Hi Folks, First let me introduce myself. My name is Mike Maki. I work as an IT specialist for a Federal agency, the National Park Service, in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area in Thousand Oaks. I have attended a few SCLUG meetings in the past at the old Nortel building but have not been able to attend lately. I do watch this list closely and have gained much from it. So why am

I'm trying to config a Linux box to integrate into a windows network using pam_smb and samba. Ive set it up so that using pam_smb I can get the user to log onto the linux desktop with their NT id and password. The only problem is once the user is logged on they need to be able to access shared resources disk, printers etc... without the need to reauthenticate to the domain, i.e. use a cache

I've noticed the list has pretty low answer:question ratio. I tend to think that many replies go directly to people who post the questions and those people never bother to share the answers with the community. I don't think this is fair so we may want to do something in this regard. We either need certain rules that will imply posting of summaries (as {SUN,LINUX}managers lists do), or the

Thanks for the performance information John, I wasn't aware that optimising the conf could make such a difference. I guess my way of thinking - where I want to look at the original smb.conf file and have it nicely readable is a bit impractical, and maybe I will soon change that way of thinking, but I think it will help your work if you are aware of other peoples thought processes, (even if
