similar to: Installing printer drivers

Hi, I'm trying to copy printer driver files to the server in a way that workstations can install from the server just by right-clicking on the printer icon and choosing "Install". I created the [printers] share and created the W32X86, etc directories. In XP I right-clicked on the printer icon and installed the drivers. It looked like it worked. Looking at it from the linux side, I

Hi, I just installed 2 Win2K sp4 workstations on an otherwise working Samba 2.2.8a network and 2 of the 3 printers are showing "Access denied". What's up with that? The other computers that are working just fine are Win98, XP and Win2K NOT sp4. Here is part of the global section: printing = bsd load printers = yes disable spoolss = yes printcap name

Hi, I've finally been dragged kicking and screaming into the wonderful world of XP. I've been able to join a domain and login with the help of the docs on samba.org and gleaning info from this list. Google and I don't get along. My question is How do I get the logon script to run when XP logs in? Win 98 doesn't have a problem running the logon script. Here is part of the

Hello, I am running Windows XP and Windows NT workstations on a lan with a samba 2.2.4 server providing files and printers to these workstations. I have the following printers shared by samba: HP LaserJet 1200 Epson Stylus Color 3000 Epson Stylus Pro XL HP DesignJet 755 CM HP DesignJet 2500 CP The problem I am having is that Windows XP and Windows NT are using different drivers for the same

Hi I hope somebody can help me with my driver uploading problem. I have done everything according to the printing docs (I think =) ), but I can't seem to be able to upload the driver via neither XP or W2k. The error I get when using XP is: "An error occured while copying file ......... Cannot copy file to destination directory. Click Retry to retry the operation or click Cancel to

All, As some of have no doubt found out, scripting is subtly different on 95/98 machines and NT machines. I have a logon script called by: logon script = xxxx\main.bat %G %U that works great for NT boxen. However it does absolutely nothing, no execution of main.bat at all for a W98 client. If I remove the parameters so it is: logon script = xxxx\main.bat it executes on the W98 box,

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

Hello =) I got some problem configuring a pdf printer and make windows to download automagically drivers from [print$] share on my samba 3.0.1 server. Well, I've configured a pdf printer (based on this doc: http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue72/bright.html), tested it and it works pretty well =) To install the printer on windows side, I connect to the host, browse to samba server, right-click

Hallo Samba-Team, thank you for 2.2.7. The only problem I found is an old one: status of printers served from samba on Windows 2000 I'll try to explain this so clear as possible: If I have a Windows user "Administrator", which is in Windows administrative group "Administratoren" and this user is on Samba-side *mapped* to "root" --> printer status is *ok*.

Hi, I am having this problem with the uploading of printer drivers to my Samba server's print$ share: I am logged in on my Win XP machine as user "root" and connected to the Samba server as user root. I can access the print$ share and can upload files there manually without problems. I can see and select the printer on the Samba Server (in Network Neighborhood), and I can

Hi ! I hate to do this but I'm close to get crazy about printing with samba. I have a samba server ver 2.2.5 running as a domain controler. The domain logon works fine, I've created the computer account by hand for testing and it is great. The problem is with printing. I've created the [print$] share all the directories in this share like W32ALPHA, W32MIPS, W32PPS, W32X86,

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 am running 2.2.3a-12.3 on Debian stable with Win2k machine and an XP machine on a small home network. I have only just started using printer support and seemed to have it fine with a postscript and a "raw" connection for the HP LJ5MP printer (with internal PS) working fine from W2k and WXP. Then I took the server down as I'll need another parallel port in it. Rebooted after

Seem to have come to a dead end trying to configure a cups printer on a samba server. Been reading and googling till my eyes are about ready to google themselves. Anyway, it would be fantastic if one of you might have seen something I've missed. Setup: linux server running samba3. Also on the lan are a win95, winXP and linux box. smb.conf: [global] workgroup = HOME server string =
