Hi, I successfully setup printing on my FreeBSD box using Samba with apsfilter and lprng. However, I have encountered two issues: 1) Cannot print multiple copies of documents from my windows box (e.g. notepad). Only the first copy is printed and the rest don't get printed. 2) My spool directory is getting filled up and I would like the job removed after the print job is finished I've

Hello, I'm running Slack 8.1 and Samba 2.2.4. The mp3 I'm playing off of the server, or anything else realtime for that matter, pauses when a print job is sent to the box. I'm printing to a small cheap print server that does lpr. The pause seems to occur when my linux box sends the job to the actual print server (by the looks of my switch activity) hanging off of my printer, so the

My Samba box consists of FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE. It has samba version 2.2.7a compiled on it. The problem i have is printing via windows machines to the samba print share. the clients can 'print' ie send the data to the samba share where i have got samba setup to use bsd type printing. smb.conf lines are [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no

Hi Folks, I recently set up a samba server 2.0.5a on a NetBSD 1.4.1 box. I have (I think) a very simple setup: one share and one printer. The share configured below (tmp) works fine. I can see the printer in the win95 Network Neighborhood, but when I try to print a test page, I get "windows cannot find the printer" on the Win95 side, and nothing on the samba side. With the smb.conf

Hi, I've recently installed LPRng 3.6.22, ifhp 3.3.19, and Samba 2.0.7 on my FreeBSD 4.1 system. Printing works fine from the FreeBSD machine, and I am able to access shares via my Win2000 machine. I've configured a [printers] section in smb.conf, and I am able to see the LaserJet 2100 when browsing, but on installing it I am unable to print to it. I get en error connecting the printer

I have a Samba 3.0.1 where I have 2 printers connected. A Canon LBP4+ and a HP OfficeJet G85. When I'm printing to the canon, no problem, it works like a charm, but when I try to print to the HP printer the smbd service hangs and the only way to stop it are with a kill -9 There are no difference between the 2 printers setup exept the printer driver on the windows machine, and ofcouse the

Hello all...I was having incredible difficulty in setting up my HP Color LaserJet 4500 to be shared on a Caldera 2.3 Linux server with access to it from Windows 2000 machines. I've been working about a week now (sadly enough) and I think I've made some progress mainly from information in newsgroups and online documentation. Here's what I have so far: I can print from the linux

I apologize has been discussed, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm trying configure my samba/debian box to allow printing to a shared printer on a win95 machine. Any help is appreciated.

I have been having a printing problem recently on a setup that has worked for quite some time. Configs below. The symtoms are slightly different on a W2K and a WinME workstation, but the result is the same; no printed output. However, when I print from the local Unix server or from any other Unix server in the network the output is as expected. The W2K machine reports 'Access denied,

some header freebsd-announce Joerg Wunsch <joerg@FreeBSD.ORG> 1.92 When merging the new `ct' printcap functionality into 2.2-stable right before 2.2.5-RELEASE was due, it's now apparent that I didn't test it enough before. :-( I've introduced a fatal bug that causes all the lpd children sending jobs to remote printers to be killed after the `ct' timeout, even in case the

Hi, I ran into a strange printing-problem: We're using OpenBSD 4.2 and Samba Version 3.0.28 and include our printers directly from /etc/printcap; whenever I enter a printername that contains numbers, smbd gives me the errors below. Any idea why samba messes up with digits in printernames? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /var/log/log.smbd

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

I've read in the documentation that Samba does not use ports like Win2k. So how does Samba know where to find a network printer if it has it's own IP address (stand-alone printer)? I have created a printer in my /etc/printcap file: HP4000:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp4000:\ :mx#0: :sh:\ :rm:192.168.2.13:rp=raw: :rp=:\ added this to my smb.conf [printers] comment = All Printers printable =

A couple of days ago I set up my printer on my FreeBSD server and set it up so I could print from my FreeBSD client. This all works very well, printing from botht the server and the FBSD client. However, I also have samba set up for file serving with an XP box. I have been trying for quite some time now to set samba up to enable me to print from the XP client. My situation at the moment is that

Running RH6.0 I am able to print just fine from linux, the problem now is getting smb printing working. I am using an Intel Netport Express PRO/100 printserver. Previous to my upgrade from RH5.2 when I had the printer directly connected to the samba server, I was able to print just fine from the windows client machines (not using the raw method) My /etc/printcap is as follows ##PRINTTOOL3##

I'm using Samba 2.0.5a on Debian Linux. I'm capable of printing through Samba to the jet direct card of my HP LaserJet 4si, It prints flawlessly, but I never see anything in the Print Manager on my NT workstation, not so much as a flicker. I'd like to completely stop using NT as a print server, but I can not do that until we have easy control of the print queue. clip from printcap:

Hello, Samba team! I am very new to Linux and Samba, so probably my problem is that I need to study more Linux basic concepts, but in the meanwhile, I need to get this working: I have to print from a Linux Suse 7.2 box, where I have installed Samba, to a printer connected to an NT box. I have found things written for printing the other way around, but not too much this way. I defined a printer
