similar to: Setting "Installable Options" on printers for clients

Hi all, I'm having a few problems getting samba to pass along settings for various print options for all of our printers. Printers are set up using PPDs in CUPS, added to samba via the cupsaddsmb command and then added to windows clients via point and print. Unfortunately any print jobs sent from windows appear to completely ignore many of the CUPS settings such as duplex and print

Hi all, SHOULD POINT AND PRINT WORK WITH OPTIONAL DEVICE PARTS (eg. DUPLEX UNIT)? (If anyone managed to get it work please tell me:-)) Problem Description: =============== We have samba-2.2.3a (with patched srv_spoolss_nt) running on SuSE 7.3 with kernel version 2.4.17-SMP. Clients are running Windows 2000 SP2. We have several HP printers. We want to distribute the print drivers using

Hi Guys, I've have an issue (or perhaps more accurately a feature) with my production system running Samba 3.0.24 (Cups 1.2.9). We do not make use of server side print drivers, the reason for this is below. We therefore install drivers manually on our client systems. The issue that has arisen lately is that when a printer is added to a client workstation, Samba somehow picks up the name of

Hallo! thank you for the answer. It helped a little. Even if I only have one driver installed, after deleting the tbd files, I was able to reinstall the

Hi, we are using samba 3.0.24 as a printspooler for 80 network printers with a 500kB ntprinters.tdb for some years now. When we recently restarted samba we noticed that the ntprinters.tdb automatically shrinked to 24kB and printing was no longer possible. tdbdump of the original tdb-file is impossible too: "Failed to open ntprinters.tdb" The strange thing about this: we can solve

I can't seem to get the rpcclient-addprinter to work - grrrrrr It looks like the drivers files are copied correctly and the NT drivers are added correctly but the addprinter command says it's unsuccessful! rpcclient localhost -N -U JOHNSON\\root -c 'enumprinters' shows the printer!! What's going on? I've tried removing /var/cache/samba/ntdrivers.tdb

In CentOS 6, I could do: lpinfo -m then pick the model I want and put it as the option to -m in lpadmin (line wrapped): /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printer -o printer-is-shared=false -o Duplex=None -o Resolution=600dpi -m 'gutenprint.5.2://pcl-g_5e/expert Generic PCL 5e Printer - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.5' -v 'socket://mydomain.edu' Alas, in CentOS 7, no matter what I do, I always get:

Good morning, on Ubuntu I'have install a Lexmark T650 printer using T650.ppd get from official Lexmark web site. When I printing from OpenOffice I can choose all printer options like Tray option and other. I'm using Wine 1.3.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop. If I try to print using notepad installed in Wine, I see the printer, same name like in Ubuntu, but without the tray option choise. Wine

Hi all, I found an old (Oct 9) posting (and no answers) titled "Print Driver Settings" from Michael Devogelaere regarding installing/using extra trays and duplex units using Win2000. We are using Samba 2.2.3a and HP and Tektronix printer drivers and experience the same difficulties - users cannot select/use the duplex unit without having "Manage Printer" permissions.

I have a non-PS printer setup to print under linux using ghostscript as a filter. This printer has two paper trays, one has letter paper, the other tabloid size paper. If I print from a program that uses a PPD file to configure the printer, like StarOffice or The Gimp, I can select the paper size from a nifty list. If I select letter size, the printer print with paper from the letter tray. If

Hello. I'm having a bit of trouble with my upgrade. I installed 3.0.8 over a copy of the 2.2.8a directory, and when I went to start it up, got errors about accessing the secrets.tdb. I was able to use tdbdump to access it and created one in the new format using tdbtool, but then it's also unable to access other old-format tdb files, most notably ntdrivers and ntprinters. The only

hello, i have a toshiba FC22 printer/copier which is attached to a fiery Z4 RIP and i'm running into a driver option issue. the print driver is a slightly modified version of the adobe postscript driver 5.2, more trays, paper sizes, etc. when i setup this printer via either a local win2k TCP/IP printer or network printer on a win2k or nt4 server i get all the paper sizes, trays, etc. yet

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

Well, today, I feel like a real, old time sysadmin. Now, I didn't have to write a driver in assembly for the printer, but.... We got this huge, 44" HP Designjet z3200ps printer. Only supports Win and Mac. Fine, I hang it off of one of our servers on a subnet (at $0.96/foot paper, we're the only ones who print on it....). Then I'm thinking that all I really need is a .ppd. My

Hello, To my great satisfaction I managed to run with a windows program which I use in my company (invoices, supplies etc). The program runs well except printing... When I try to print to my cups printers I get the following infos: fixme:winspool:WINSPOOL_EnumPrinters We don't handle PRINTER_ENUM_CONNECTIONS fixme:winspool:WINSPOOL_EnumPrinters We don't handle PRINTER_ENUM_CONNECTIONS

For backup and redundancy purposes, I've been needing to replicate CUPS printer queues between two Samba servers, and came up with the following shell script. We use a fairly sizable number of CUPS printer queues printing in RAW mode, and install the printer drivers from the Windows clients, so all clients actually download the printer driver from Samba at first use. WARNING: This

I had to remove reference to some printer drivers via tdbtool on ntdrivers.tdb. 1. Do I need to restart smbd and nmbd to make these changes take effect? 2. If I restart smbd and nmbd will connected users get disconnected?

After upgrading cups on my CentOS 6 systems from version 1.4.2-72.el6 to 1.4.2-77.el6, I am no longer able to create working printers, either with lpadmin from the command line or with system-config-printer. When I try to run lpadmin, I get this simple error: [root at vlsi66 ~]# lpadmin -p newprinter -v lpd://printserver/serverqueue-E -P /path/to/ppd/thing.ppd lpadmin: Unknown [root at vlsi66
