I'm tinkering with this mod to my smb.conf, and can't get the actual filename to be displayed in the printed job history. It's adapted from one Joel put out on the list last year. My impression is that it works for everyone in the world but me.... All that ever shows up is smbprn.yada.yada... in the printer's history of printed jobs. print command = echo %J %p %s >>

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

Primarily because I've never gotten it to work despite frequent efforts. Offeding printer is a Lexmark Z53 (supposedly fully supported) and when ever I try to add it to an XP box I get "Server doesn't have the right driver, do you wish to upload the driver?" then when I do it says "Cannot connect to the printer. Contact your network administrator yatta yatta

Following a working fine samba install, I just did a new installation of samba 2.2.8 on FreeBSD 4.8(s) and while I can explore the network and I can copy files to unix, I cannot print to unix.

Hello, I have samba set up on a solaris 8 box. I set up a printer using an lpr port. When I send a job from a client through the queue on the samba box to the printer, the job shows up on the printer queue with the job name changed to a generic name such as smb20***. Does any one know why this is happening. Is there a configuration file that needs to be edited to allow the job name to pass through

Can anyone suggest a way to have a notification after a print job has completed. I currently have this as my print command: lpr -r -P%p %s; csh -c 'echo \"%J has started printing on %S\" | /usr/bin/smbclient -U %L -M %m -I %I' & It kind of does what I want, but notice that the message says that "Job has STARTED printing on Printer". This is because with this

Hi, Well, my previous attempt to get info on that matter was lame and therefore no one replied. Here is a second attempt. I need info about how to configure samba server and the windows (2000) client to use a printer on the samba server machine. I read the article: http://de.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#AEN833 but all I got from it was confusion. I need a

Hi All, I've got a very nicely working samba server with cups as the backend. i also have a colour printer on which I must do billing every month. i've done a test page or two and the username comes though to the colour printer which is good. problem i had is the jobname in the logs is smbprn_xxxxxxxx_xx (numbers) which is the samba job name. if joe bloggs complains and says he

I have two computers here - one with Win2000 and the other with SuSE 8.1. My goal is that I can print from Win to my printer connected on the Linux machine. Now I tried quite a few things but nothing will work. First of all, here my smb.conf: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) # Date: 2003/01/11 16:17:19 # Global parameters [global] security = share guest account

Hello all, Been using Samba for a looooonnnng time, and with great success I might add. This is the first time in EVER that I've needed to ask ANYTHING regarding it, so easy is it to config and admin. Kudos to the Aussie that wrote it.
