similar to: 2.2.8a, printer driver download: need to use setdrive r

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

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. It is available at http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/SambaPrintHOWTO/Samba-HOWTO-Collection-3.0-PrintingChapter-3rd-draft.html A PDF version (for convenient printing) is at

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 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. Select a compatible driver from the

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, 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

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

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. I'm using SLES7 (2.4.7 kernel). The files I'm using are: 4368072 May 22 06:22 cups-1.1.19rc5-source.tar.gz 197341 May 22 06:22 cups-samba-1.1.19rc2.tar.gz 4961128 May 22 07:58

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

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 am using cups-1.1.19final-1.deb and samba-2.2.3a. When I was working with cups-1.1.15 before, cupsaddsmb worked fine, but now with cups-1.1.19 it gives me: Running command: smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N -U'root%secret?' -c 'mkdir WIN40;put /var/spool/cups/tmp/3eef829eea1b8 WIN40/ps948esb.PPD;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/ADFONTS.MFM WIN40/ADFONTS.MFM;put

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". My printers share in smb.conf is: [printers] comment = All Printers path =

Hi, I created a PDFPrinter as per http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=105301236523413&w=2 I have another question, do I need to add a Color Laser Printer Driver in W2K to the PDF share to generate color PDF in Windows? Regards, Norman

I have a Debian laptop and an OS X desktop computer. on the Mac I have set up windows file sharing and I have set up print sharing. I then proceded to install samba and komba2 on my system....all set up and komba2 sees mt workgroup and sees the shared printer...it registers it with CUPS and everything........ however, I tried printing and nothing happened. I checked CUPS on the laptop and it

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

I have done one succesful driver for downloading to my windows 2000-client. When i try set another with "setdriver " I get a result as : SetPrinter call failed!

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? I read Samba's doc, but I couldn't find anything. -- Stefan, a simple Debian user. Linux registered user: #272012 [Linux is Friendly. It's just selective about who his friends are.]

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
