similar to: Weird permissions on samba shared printers

I have configured Samba on both a RH Linux 7.2 box and Solaris 8 box and am not able to remove print jobs. The lprm command is not getting called. I know that for a fact because I changed lprm command to equal a script which will log when it is called. And that script is never called. There are no errors in any log files - system or samba. The printing parts of the smb.conf file are:

Here is my printer config: printing = lprng load printers = yes use client driver = yes printer admin = @edutec, root printcap name = /etc/printcap print command = lpr -U%U@%M -r -P%p -J'%J' %s lpq command = lpq -P%p lprm command = lprm -U%U@%M -P%p %j lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M hold %p %j lpresume command =/usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M release

I'm currently having a problem with the new released Samba 2.2.5: I cannot print anymore on my shared printer. What is strange is that It worked fine with samba 2.2.4, but now I got an access denied whenever I try to access the printer... /var/spool/lpd/samba is chmod 777 and the username is in the group lp Here is part of my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = HOME netbios name =

I am attempting to get printing services for Windows 2000 clients working with Samba on a Red Hat 7.2 box. The problem is I can not cancel print jobs (either from a PC or the local smb client). File sharing, and printing other than this problem, work fine. Here is a listing of configuration and system info: 1) the samba packages installed, 2) output of "uname -a", 3) the

Running samba installed from rpm 2.2.5-1 on rh 7.2 system... security=domain with winbind to NT pdc, LPRng Trying to pause printing without specifying a queuepause command I get: You do not have permissions to modify the settings for this printer. If you need to change the settings, contact your network administrator. With queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc stop %p queueresume command =

Hello I have got the following problem: My Samba printer doesn't allow multiple copies, when trying to print from a client machine. (Unix printing works fine with multple copies). When I enter more than one copy into the "number of copies" field on a WinXP client machine, I get the error message "This printer cannot print the specified amount of copies. The amount of copies is

I've seen this issue asked about and asked about in the archives, unfortunately I can't seem to find a real solution only people's theories. The issue involves a 2.2.5 Samba server acting as a member print server in a Windows 2000 domain. I can add printers from the server to clients in the domain and then print. The issue comes when I try and view/manage the print queue from Windows.

I know this question has been answered here a while back, but I have not been able to find the mailing with the posts on it. -----==========----- I have a redhat server that I am using as a file/print server for student use. I am using samba to help the users with Windows. The problem I have is that when using printing a user can submit a print job, and it prints fine, but cannot see the

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

Hi When I try to pause a printer it spits out an error that I don't have permission to pause the printer. It is pretty weird because I'm the administrator. I've tried to add the write list=ntadmin option but that doesn't work. Does anyone have a clue? TIA Maxor -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

Does anyone have any hints or suggestions on getting some JetDirect-based printers set up for bidirectional printing in Samba? We're using LPRng 3.8.0, ifhp 3.4.7, and samba 2.2.2 From the LPRng standpoint, the printers seem to be set up for bidirectional communication fine.. but how do we get Samba to allow bidirectional communication? Thanks in advance! Glenn --- Glenn E. Sieb,

Hi, after updating our printserver from Samba V2.0.6 to V2.2.7 I encountered the following problem. Samba does not execute the (root) pre- and postexec within the printers section. If you are using these command in another section everything works fine. Does anybody know if these command are not supported in the printers section anymore? smb.conf: [global] ... load printers = yes lpq cache

Following the "security = domain in Samba 2.x" document in the SWAT documentation page I do this: root@pc194-79:/usr/local/samba/bin# smbpasswd -j MDU -r pv-mdu-server1 -Ujohnm%xxxxxxxx Joined domain MDU. root@pc194-79:/usr/local/samba/bin# This is in [globals]: security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes password server = pv-mdu-server1 pv-mdu-server2 And now I start Samba via smbd

Unless I make a user a member of the printer admin group in the smb.conf file on the Linux Samba Server, on the W2K client the printer will show up as "Access Denied, Unable to Connect". The user can still connect and print to that printer, however. I just want to get rid of that incorrect status message, because it will cause confusion. Here are the relevant parts of the smb.conf

Hi, I just installed 2 Win2K sp4 workstations on an otherwise working Samba 2.2.8a network and 2 of the 3 printers are showing "Access denied". What's up with that? The other computers that are working just fine are Win98, XP and Win2K NOT sp4. Here is part of the global section: printing = bsd load printers = yes disable spoolss = yes printcap name

I?m running Debian Linux 3.0 r1 with Samba 2.2.8a and I have got printing problems: --- when I print something the job don't appear in the window printing status, so I have no way to check the actual status of the job, or to delete the job from window printer status in Win2K. here is configurations file of smb.conf: [global] workgroup = Gertian log level = 99 queuepause

First of all, thanks to everyone who has helped me out so far resolving my samba problems! The latest has to do with LPRng and directory permissions. LPRng requires 0600 permissions on the spool directory, owner daemon group daemon. Whenever a user tries to print through SAMBA, they do not have write access to the spool directory, as teh job comes in user/group of the person who printed. Any

Hey, I posted a few days ago about how the printer paper sizes are differ from the admin account when they are installed. People at my work are getting pissed at the moment and all they want to do is to be able to change the paper sizes themselves and not have it done at the server Is there a way to do it? I fluked it at one stage and had it working like that, I think I deleted the driver

I know that maybe this is an stupid question, let me tell you a little bit: I am using my samba server as a file server and it is ok, but also want to use it as a printer server, I can see my installed printers in my windows domain, I also can set up my printer in my windows client but when I try to print something, this job goes through its spooler and then it seems to print, but it does not

Hi, We've been stuck with this problem for a while now and we believe I tried enough potential solutions to justify my posting here. We're using samba 3.0.14a in Sarge in order to allow printing from Windows workstations (The authentication works with AD+Kerberos+Winbind) to a set of shared printers. Printing works perfectly but we would like to allow users to have control over the jobs
