similar to: Printing from Linux to an NT printer

I seem to have some issues coming to terms with the new smbprint configuration. Not that it is all that new, but I have worked on a ton of AIX Samba systems that are runing 1.9.x and the smbprint worked great in all aspects. The box's couldn't be upgraded (or so said the company that did application builds related to Samba). The printers were and are hosted from windows95 workstations

Hello people, ok just a small problem I have with my samba settings. I have a RH 6.0 file/printer server that is connected to some Windoze 98 machines and a couple of Macs. The linux machine also has one printer on its local port lpt1. Ok...I have set up everything and currently I can print from the Windozes and the Mac to the printer that is localy connected on the Linux server. What I want

I need some help with getting this NT printer setup with Samba server. I think I have modified all the required files and don't know what else is missing. An outside observation should find the missing link. Here is my /etc/printcap: lp:\ :cm=NT printer :\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :if=/usr/local/samba/bin/smbprint:\

Hi, Maybe someone can help me. I am running FreeBSD 3.2 with Samba 2.0.4b and NT Server 4.0 with SP3 and I added the BSD machine to its server list. My printer is setup on my NT for print sharing. Well if I connect to the share name of the printer via smbclient ( ./smbclient \\\\ESAU\\EPSON -U login%password) I am able to successfully access it and even print. However, when I use the

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,

Dear Samba Team, the smbprint script as provided with Suse7.2 for Samba Version 2.2.0 did not work. The problem was that the file to be printed was not transfered via stdin after the print - command. I changed the smbprint script to pass the commands via the -c option. My changes and comments are marked with MR27092001MR in the smbprint attached. I did not find this in the lists, so I hope this

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.

I am having a bit of a problem getting my Samba printer configuration to work with Windows XP(I am running samba on Linux Redhat 7.3). My other shares seem to work as I can find my files on the my Linux system using XP. I have used redhat 7.3 kde printer configurations to create the appropriate files. The result is when I try to send a print job the printer kicks into to gear but only a blank

I've connected a BSD machine to a WinME machine in the office to begin experimenting with samba. I've been messing about with it but I can't get a print of samba files to the WinME printer. My /var/spool/lpd/canon directory contains .config, .seq, status and lock files and a whole bunch of files that aren't getting printed to the remote printer. my .config file has: server=ICE1

I am trying to allow printing from my linux box to my win98 box, to which my epson stylus printer is attached. It's just not happening...something tells me I'm flirting with a world of pain. I *can* print a file by going: smbclient //rory/EPSON translate print /etc/group but I cannot print from applications, nor can i use smbprint. I tried going: cat /etc/passwd | sh -x smbprint

I've just set up lpd to print to a postscript printer attached to an NT server, using the Redhat 5.2 version of the smbprint command. Eventually I'd like this machine to be the department's standard lpr->SMB gateway. It works perfectly, except that since smbclient always logs onto the NT server with the same ID, no matter who prints the job, the same NT-generated banner page gets

Hi, I've been using Samba for a while, and I'm now running all network printing here from Samba. However, while printing itself works fine, my users can neither view the print queue, nor delete jobs from it, and this is beginning to get annoying. I'm using LPRng to do all the printing. All the clients are NT4 workstations. Here's some selected bits of /etc/smb.conf and

Dear users Thanks for reading this. Hope you will help me. I am using samba 1.9.17p2 on SunSparc-20 running solaris2.5.1 for printing and file sharing with PC-network. File sharing is working fine but I want to print to a WfWg printer from Solaris. So I have used your script smbprint.sysv and try to print. But I am facing following problems: 1-

Well, I finally managed to setup samba printing... almost. smbprint seems well and good... if you have a postscript printer, which I don't. So, I just see stair-stepping, raw postscript on the win98 box printer I'm sending to. I've configured magicfilter to handle postscript with gs, but I'm having trouble integrating magicfilter with smbprint. I'm not much of an expert on

I am sharing some printers attached to Win95 boxes, and would like to be able to do more than connect from Linux with smbclient and print via translate. I would like to be able to specify a printcap entry for these so as to be able to print from pine or lynx or Netscape (when I get X running here at work). I haven't found anything in Samba docs or LDP docs yet to tell me how to write such
