similar to: driver download problem - win 98 + cups

This was the answer to a question posed on the Samba list almost a year ago. The following regarding Windows 98 printer names seemed to get lost: In windows 98, printer name: ---------------------------- > 13 characters: printer offline <= 13 but > 8: ppd doesn't download, can print with adobe drivers <= 8: full functionality I also tried an 8.3 printername: testtest.tst, which

Hi, I have a linux box on RH7.3 with samba 2.2.5-1 and cups-1.1.14-15. I create a cups printer on to this machine with success, It called lptest? and apparently, when I send a page test it works fine. But now I want to share It via Samba then I putted the different setting in smb.conf . I extracted the different files from the ADOBE POSTSCRIPT DRIVER and I put them in /usr/share/cups/drivers .

Hey folks. I am trying to set up a cups/samba printer server, and I am having trouble using cupsaddsmb. I isolated the problem to a rpcclient and here is the information I gathered from the various commands. If I delete all the files in "/var/lib/samba/drivers" cupsaddsmb installs the folders and files, but doesn't move the files in to the WIN40/0 folder with the adddriver

hi list, We got the following problem: We try to use samba 2.2.5 as a printserver for windoze clients (samba 2.2.5 on RH linux 8 w/ CUPS 1.1.15). CUPS works w/o any problems, but when we try to generate the drivers for the windoze clients (by using cupsaddsmb), we get the following error: >> cli_pipe: return critical error. Error was SUCCESS - 0 result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

Hi, I played around with samba 2.2.5 and cups and tried to get it working. Well everything is fine, but the driver upload to the client WILL NOT WORK. I used the current stable downloads, latest patch for printing, prebuilds from Lars Mueller .... I put together everything. If one has a working samba//cups please tar it and place it on our ftp-server. I don't know what's wrong here

Hi, I'm trying to get Samba to offer the Adobe driver automatically for the two printers I have set up with CUPS. I have all of the necessary files plucked out of the Adobe Postscript Windows driver package, but I'm hitting the problem when I come to run "cupsaddsmb -v ..." that the "rpcclient adddrivers" command always fails with NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL. The drivers

Hello all, I'm trying to use CUPSADDSMB to add some printer shares.

Hi Matt, the problem you referred to is discussed in detail as bug #82 in Samba's bug tracking tool. It consists of 2 bugs. One prevents the registration of drivers and is due to a NULL-pointer passed from that part of code in rpc_server/srv_spoolss_nt.c which calls sys_adminlog function. It begins with the comment /* BEGIN_ADMIN_LOG */ and ends with the comment /* END_ADMIN_LOG */

Hello I've got some problems downloading Adobe PostScript printer drivers on a Windows 98 client : On the server side (Red Hat 9 / Samba 3.0.2 / Cups 1.1.17) : I installed succesfully my printers with Cups and they work fine on Linux I ran cupsaddsmb tool to copy the Adobe files in the [print$] directory which gives this result : in /etc/samba/W32X86/2 : cupsdrvr.dll cups.hlp

I am having problems with the driver installation for WIN40 (9x machines) in Samba 2.2.5 / Samba 2.2.6pre2 on a Solaris 8 machine. I build binary packages for both debian and solaris environments.

Hello, I want to setup a new print server using cups and samba for our new institue. Everything is working well (printing from unix and windows), but the driver download for the windows clients won't work and I have no idea what's wrong.

My W9x clients cannot download printer driver from samba 3.0.2rc1 with cups 1.1.17, while w2k clients do. The W9x clients open the Add Printer Wizard, connect to print$ share, request the ADOBEPS4.DRV file, but they stop at the beginning of the download. Permissions on print$\WINNT\0 directory are the same as print$\W32X86\2. cupsaddsmb was successful. I sniffed the packets while client was

Hi, printer driver download with W2000/Xp (samba-2.2.7 and cups-1.1.18) and the Adobe PS Driver works fine for our location.

Samba version 2.2.3a doesn't seem to work with the "cupsaddsmb" program available in CUPS... cupsaddsmb merely runs a few rpcclient commands. The verbose output from cupsaddsmb is printed below. This output is from cups version 1.1.14, but I received the same error from version 1.1.12. On 2 different computers - both clean installs. When run on Samba version 2.2.2, the command
