I have searched around the samba documentation, including the smb.conf man page, and have found nothing regarding the cups printing system except change printcap to cups. Now, I have done that, but printing still does not work. I need some types of details and a sample smb.conf and/or any other relevant documentation. Thanks much, George D. Plymale

I have tried everything I could possibly think of to get printer driver download working with Samba 2.2.3a-6 and CUPS 1.1.15-4 (latest Debian unstable packages). I am wondering if anyone else has go this to work at all (with newer versions of samba or cups?) -- if so please let me know to give me some hope. Or else I am thinking this is officially 'broken'. CUPS is working perfectly

Hi, I use a Debian Sarge with samba 3.0.23c (from testing) and cups 1.1.23. For unexpected reason, some printers are sometime stopped (pause), and I need to start then again. There is no trace of a "stop" in the log of cups. (and I'm the only one who can pause them, anyway). here is an example : cat 10.lpr.log | grep imp-cao | grep -E "(stop|start)" Nov 10 14:15:41

Hello there, I have a solaris 8 server running cups 1.1.20 and samba 3.0.1. We've successfully configured a handful of HP Laserjet network printers to work with our windows clients (works like a champ...very happy with winbind and the "point and print" automatic driver installation). However, we can't print from Solaris clients? We have one physical printer and two queues

OK, I've tried changing my printcap name from printcap to cups. Printing works fine locally using CUPS on the Samba box. What am I missing here? Why can't I print to the Samba box via the Windows and linux clients? Shared directories work fine. I am really frustrated here and have exhausted Google and all other resources I have. Here's my smb.conf for what it's worth.

Hello all, I am running a Debian testing/unstable system with samba 2.2.3a-6 and cupsys 1.1.15-4 as a member server in a samba domain. I have used CUPS to add a networked HP8100N printer and it works fine locally, but I'm having difficulty adding it to samba for Win98 domain clients to use. I ran cupsaddsmb to add the printer and drivers to samba, but it cannot find the PPD file... where is

Hello, There is a printer at work (a Xerox WorkCentre 5325). I am able to print using the following command: smbclient //MyHiddenPC/MyHiddenShare -WMyHiddenDomain -c 'print my-hidden-file.pdf'. However, it does not work when I try to print through CUPS using the following command: lp my-hidden-file.pdf. In the CUPS error_log file, the only error I can read is: [Job 5] PID 27883

Hello out there, perhaps anybody has some idea for my problem. I've had several nice successes with WINE. GoogleEarth e.g. or some of my old tools of the windows-times. Now yesterday I've sent my tax-declaration (in Germany: ElsterFormular) to the tax-administration, online. BUT: I couldn't print the declaration!! NOTHING at all happened. I havn't ever tried to print, it was not

Hello, I have a pb in using samba with cups. I put "printing=cups" in my smb.conf file but I cannot connect the printers from Windows NT 4.0. Could you send me a smb.conf file using cups as an example ? Thank you

I need a way to convert files that I save with Firefox as a 'print to file' to 'pdf' I tried 'convert' but that rendered the text as graphics which grew the file and wasn't what I wanted. How would someone accomplish this - or can I just print to a PDF? Craig

R Users, I have created a multipage PostScript file using the postscript() function with horizontal = TRUE to produce my plots in landscape. I intended to convert that entire file to PDF using ps2pdf to have the plots available for a presentation. Unfortunately, the resulting PDF document is rotated -90 degrees. I have found dozens of references to this kind of problem with ps2pdf online, but

Hi all, I have a very good query related to printer sharing using samba. Following is the scenario... I had installed HP laserjet 9040Dn printer on redhat Enterprise linux 5. Shared it using samba.

Hello List, sorry, that I have to repost my question a third time (last postings on June 23.), but unfortunately my problem remains unsolved.

Hi there! I am trying to get the samba cups integration to work. After some fiddling I can now install the Adobe Postscript Printer driver remotely. Unfortunately Windows 98 clients (I haven't checked with NT,2000,XP yet) only get the default ppd. What is the proper naming convention for the ppd files? Currently we use the printer DNS name pr100, pr101, pr102, ... Should the ppd files be named
