Hi all! I have a situtation that I want to get happening: We have just installed a colour photocopier with duplexing at a client's office. We're looking to have four printers pointing at this one device, with the following settings (one for each printer): * Black and White * Black and White, Duplexed * Colour * Colour Duplexed My question is, can we have server-side settings for

[crossposting to Samba, CUPS and Linuxprinting mailing lists...] Hi, I have written a Draft for the new Printing Chapter of the Samba-3.0 HOWTO-Collection.

This is the EXACT problem I had. Haven't fixed it either.... if I have 10 printers.... upload all the drivers.. for all the OS's... how do I tell which drivers go with which printer? -----Original Message----- From: Andreas [mailto:andreas@conectiva.com.br] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 9:24 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] 2.2.8a, printer driver download: need to use

I have RTFM'd, so excuse me if I missed something in the manual. :) 1) When I attempt to add additional drivers (the inital driver worked just fine, when using the instructions in John's HOWTO), I get the following error: "The printer driver you selected is either not compatible with your current version of Windows, or it may not be available.

Hi there, I'm newbie in Samba, so I beg for your excuse if my questions are stupid. Is it possible to use Samba as a "paid-for-print" server? If U know something about another free "paid-for-print" software, please let me know. 10x in advance, -- Julian

Hi, Everyone! I've installed samba + print$ driver + cups successfully on my Debian Box, and I've made a simple page count program for the printed PCL and postscript files, it runs nicesly, but one problem I encountered is that I can't check the "Advanced " option on for the samba printer (I've tried to check them, but it does not take effect), while I can do it well

I've scoured the newsgroups and asked MANY people, does anyone out there have any ideas ? I'm new to the CUPS arena and I'm trying to figure out what to do from the separate docs.

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 everyone, I have already asked for this the cups list/newsgroup, but it seems to me that this might be more a question about Samba. According (hopefully) to these howtos I have setup printers and prepared their cups postscript drivers to be installed automatically via Samba and the so called Point'n'Print method: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-456501-highlight-.html

Hi, I'm trying to use Cups + Samba to make a print server for many purpouses. The main one is to account how many pages where printed by whom and centralize all printers in one server. If I configure samba and cups in the RAW mode using windows original drivers of the printers, everything works fine, but this way I can't use cups accounting. So I reinstaled all my printers

I'd like to set up my samba 2.2.8a server to serve printer drivers to clients when needed. I have set up the print$ share, in which I still have no drivers. Tried adding drivers from a win2000 workstation by using "server properties" command, I can't add anything since all buttons are greyed out. The user I am using is in the printer admin group in smb.conf. I

Hello I'm setting up the automatic printer driver download feature, and it works nicelly except for one little thing: I have to use, on the samba machine, rpcclient's setdriver command to associate a printer with its driver. I didn't see this requirement in the Samba howto, it only mentions setdriver as a way to speed up large installations. Am I missing something? Should windows

I have a network with an NT as PDC. There are ...5-6 printers on my network shared by the network users. How can I use them? What do I have to put in my configuration file?

It seems like the files sent to the samba spool and then over to CUPS seem to stay in the /var/spool/samba directory indefinately. Is there a fix to this via a configuration, or just setting up a cron job to purge? Thanks

I'm trying to set up a cups printer but I don't know much about printing in linux and am a bit confused. I've installed a printer in cups using the web interface and it works fine. All the tutorials I've read though refer to /var/spool/lpd/lp but on my system this doesn't exist. I'm guessing this is because I'm not using lpd, I'm using cups. There are a few

Ok, here's my setup: I've had a samba file server going for about a year now. It's Samba v2.05a on a RH6.0 sys. Currently we have a printer server running on a Winblows NT box. This NT box has the following printers: HP5si, (4) HP4000, and a few HP4s. All of those printers have Jet Direct ports on them. What I want to do is, move all the printers over to the Samba box and KILL the NT

I've not been able to get Samba to print to a Lexmark Z53. If I call it a Z52, the driver uploads (to where, I have no idea so I can't check it) but I still can't get anything out of the printer.

Hello, I have successfully installed samba 2.2.8 (with CUPS) as a windows printing server using the print$ share. The W2000 clients are able to send jobs to a printer and view the corresponding printer queue. However, when I try to delete a job from the windows client, I get the error "bad command".

Hello, I am using cups-1.1.19final-1.deb and samba-2.2.3a.
