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,

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

I'm running Samba 3.0.14a-2 on FC4 as a print server. The system is joined to the domain and I'm using the domain security model. Pretty much, it's configured like my old Samba 2.2.7 server (which this new box is replacing). On the PC side, printers are assigned to a user via a VBScript running under a group policy. The first time that script runs and tries to add the printer

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).

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 @all, I set up 2.2.5 as PDC. With an XP-Client and log on as an simular user as root (I'm mapping "Administrator" to root in /etc/user.map) the logon home directory is the share "root". What is the reason for that? Is "root" a not usable name for a share? configure-options: ./configure \ --host=i486-pc-linux-gnu \ --target=i486-pc-linux-gnu \ --prefix=/usr \

Hi @all, I'm using version 2.2.3a (because the patch for printingproblems in 2.2.4 is not working for me) as a PDC for Win9x- and WinXP-Clients.

Hello, I run a Samba 2.2.3a server with XP clients successfully. I am aware of the fact that XP restricts access to some of its users (local) in regards to some programs.

Now I have trouble to get MSN Messenger to start under XP for
