Hi, we are trying to set printer properties with the prnadmin.dll from the windows 2000 resource kit. The printers are shared by a samba 2.2.8a, spoolingsystem is Cups. We are using the windows drivers to process the job, the queues are set as raw-queues on cups. For some models[1] setting the properties via a dumped file works without any Problems. For some other printermodels[2] it

Hi, I have sucessfully installed an ad-integrated samba server. We mainly use the server for printer sharing and are very happy with it. We only have one problem or missing feature: On a Windows Server, you change the name of a printer, so that it is different to the share name. We use 8-letter sharenames for being compatible to old Win9x-Clients, bbut we would like to have logner, more

I'm trying to change my Samba setup from LPD to CUPS, with little success. I've followed [and re-followed] the setup documentation from CUPS and I just can't get Samba to recognize my printer. The catch is - it sort of recognizes it :-( First I added these lines to my smb.conf: ========================================= [global] load printers = yes printing = cups printcap name =

I recently added a printer to cups and the samba name is wrong. Anyone know how I can fix it?

Hallo! I installed Samba 3.0.1 on Deb Woody 3.0 with Cups 1.1.19 and joined to an NT4 Domain without problems, after solving the "Umlaut" problem. Unfortunately the System was installed in german... I read a lot in the Samba HowtoCollection and installed the printer following to it step by step. Added the printer driver via APW, then connected from the Client and changed some

Hi, i am trying to get a printer published into the ADS. The part about printer publishing in the Howto collektion isn't ready yet so i might have to do something else befor i can publish the printer. Is there any dokument, perhaps a first draft?

Gentleman, In one of my slackware servers I put samba acting as a printer server connected to a Hewlett-Packard 2420D (D stands for duplex). In CUPS I'm using the 'raw' driver. So I let the clients to perform the driver stuff. On samba, I followed the procedures described on http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html#inst-rpc to make

Hello, I have desperately tried to make samba able to share the printer with a Win98SE client. First I tried cupsaddsmb, but that failed. Then I walked step by step through the installation manually as explained in the documentation, and everything stopped on this point: rpcclient -Uroot%xxxx -c 'adddriver "Windows NT x86"\

Hello! I'm using samba to share printers from a cups service. In the windows explorer both printers, a network tcp/ip printer connected using a jet direct box and a pdf printer added by the package cups-pdf, are visible and both can be used from the cups web interface and work. When trying to use each from the windows explorer: The pdf printer can be printed to just fine. The jet-direct

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. But when I try to download a driver with W9X the driver installation widzard starts. Samba logs the following messages... (Cant determine number of printer driver files...) (see second apandix) The installation of the driver works with no error. (see first apendix) Has

Dear list, in CUPS, I have to absolutely identical printers configured (I believe), except for the printer name and the hostname it connects to. I use cupsaddsmb on them (same PPD). When I try to connect to the printer prn-1101-001-d110-1, it works; for prn-1101-001-d111-1, it does not. I have narrowed this down to the following difference in the output of rpcclient -c enumprinters:        

After much trying I have finally got this to work and I'm slightly embarassed to admit that the old RTFM tripped me up. In the Samba 3 HOWTO - the official one, rather than the draft I was originally using - it states quite clearly that to get point 'n' print to work "use client driver" needs to be set to "no" in the [global] section of smb.conf, and the samba

Hokay. It appears that enumdrivers / getdriver in rpcclient is broken, and won't be fixed soon. I'd fix it meself, but hey, I'm too busy clearing skyscrapers in a single bound and moving faster than a speeding bullet. Or maybe I looked at the cvs once and got REALLY scared. Unfortunately, I can't wait, so I've come up with a nasty hack to help us with querying samba for the

Hello!

Hi there, I've had a mighty battle to get printing working with Samba in the last two days. Firstly, to get anything working at all (using CUPS), I had to use disable spoolss = yes use client driver = yes Once I finally managed to get the printer (an HP LaserJet Series II) working with locally installed drivers, I turned my interest to getting it to work with either Windows drivers stored

SUSE 9.1 samba-3.0.9-2.6 samba-client-3.0.9-2.6 I am getting some errors that I can't seem to track down in any of the archives. I came across this problem when trying to delete a driver none of the printers are listed in the smb.conf - it is all being generated from the cups and the printcap that cups makes on load First enumprinters works: rpcclient $> enumprinters

Hello, I am trying to install automatic printer driver download and install. I am running Samba 3, as a PDC, on RedHat 7.3. It seems everything is setup correctly, although I cannot get the rpcclient to 'see' my printer. Please notice these two printers listed below ar the same (lp & HP2300).

Hi, I have a samba 2.2.2 on HP-UX 11, serving a few printers. When I install a new driver via win2000' printer properties dialogue it works fine. When I try to do the same from unix with the imprints package, ist screwed. The driver files get uploaded, but they don't register as an installed driver, with rpcclient 'enumdrivers' I don't 'see' them. When I set the

Hi all, I have just discovered docos for rpcclient in 2.2.1a, and it appears that a solution for installing printer drivers on my Samba server may be in-hand. I am furiously reading man rpcclient and experimenting and with any luck, this will bear fruit. I have to date been unable to use the NT Add Printer Wizard to upload drivers and I believe the reason is that in our particular

Hi All, I'm trying to get samba to work with a CUPS printer setup. Unfortuantely I'm falling over at the first hurdle.
