similar to: print from Solaris to WinXP fails

I am trying to allow printing from my linux box to my win98 box, to which my epson stylus printer is attached. It's just not happening...something tells me I'm flirting with a world of pain. I *can* print a file by going: smbclient //rory/EPSON translate print /etc/group but I cannot print from applications, nor can i use smbprint. I tried going: cat /etc/passwd | sh -x smbprint

Hello, Is it possible to set up a printer on a Sun Solaris (sparc 2.6) machine and have it properly print to an HP Laserjet printer without the use of jetdirect? I'm trying to print to an NT controlled printer using Samba on the Sun machine. I've been trying to utilize the "smbprint" command, however I'm having all kinds of problems. On the Sun machine, I add the printer

Hi Here the problem. I am using samba 2.0.10 on sparc Solaris 8 platform in a Nis env. Currently we have about 100 or so printers listed in printers.conf nis map, these printers cover our 5 sites which all use the same nis env. Each site has one Domain master, and a local master on any separate subnets, as not all is in the same domain. When ours users log into a samba server they are

I'm trying to print in Linux to this Windows-only printer. I'm using LPRng. Both the printer and my windows interface (win4lin) are on the same LAN. I've added a new printer device lp5 in /etc/printcap, with an if line for the smbprint script when I send a command to that printer. A logfile reports that the server name and service name are correctly passed to the smbclient program.

Hello there, We want to improve the way we initially setup printing on a farm of about 20 Solaris 2.6 servers, in a way that all the possibillities of printing are well impelmented and usable. Right now users can't delete jobs when they are queued onto the (Samba)server and (of course, because it's configured now like that- see example) every printer's job list appears in the same

Hi all, I've just realized that using Windows APW (Wizard)it would be possible to upload/install my usb-printer drivers shared on my linux samba server (2.2.1a). Tried doing so ,but came across lot of failure messages like 'Windows could not install driver ....' in the final step of the wizard where it asks for drivers. afore is my smb.conf ------------------------

I seem to have some issues coming to terms with the new smbprint configuration. Not that it is all that new, but I have worked on a ton of AIX Samba systems that are runing 1.9.x and the smbprint worked great in all aspects. The box's couldn't be upgraded (or so said the company that did application builds related to Samba). The printers were and are hosted from windows95 workstations

Dear Samba Team, the smbprint script as provided with Suse7.2 for Samba Version 2.2.0 did not work. The problem was that the file to be printed was not transfered via stdin after the print - command. I changed the smbprint script to pass the commands via the -c option. My changes and comments are marked with MR27092001MR in the smbprint attached. I did not find this in the lists, so I hope this

Hello. I have been trying to print to a windows printer share with no success. So far I have found out that the smbprint does not execute. I verified this by looking at the logfile=/tmp/smb-print.log (from smbprint script) after printing from windows - this logfile was not created. Also, i verified the path of smbclient and it points to the proper directory. I am using Debian , and samba

Hello people, ok just a small problem I have with my samba settings. I have a RH 6.0 file/printer server that is connected to some Windoze 98 machines and a couple of Macs. The linux machine also has one printer on its local port lpt1. Ok...I have set up everything and currently I can print from the Windozes and the Mac to the printer that is localy connected on the Linux server. What I want

Previously I have a working print server using samba with below setting: [global] printcap name = cups printing = cups security = share [printers] browseable = yes printable = yes public = yes create mode = 0700 guest only = yes use client driver = yes guest account = smbprint path = /home/smbprint I could print both from linux and windows XP. But recently (Samba 3.0.22),

Hi all, I have a small network set up, on which I have 3 Linux-Mandrake Boxes and one Windows98 Machine. On each of the Linux boxes I have installed Samba 2.0.7, and everything so far has been a breeze and is working fine...... with one exception..... On the win98 machine, I have an Epson Stylus printer which I am trying to print to from the Linux boxes...... can I get it to work......

Dear users Thanks for reading this. Hope you will help me. I am using samba 1.9.17p2 on SunSparc-20 running solaris2.5.1 for printing and file sharing with PC-network. File sharing is working fine but I want to print to a WfWg printer from Solaris. So I have used your script smbprint.sysv and try to print. But I am facing following problems: 1-

Hello there, I've produced a modified version of the smbprint script that comes with the samba source. The script is aimed to retry sending the print job if the windows machine is switched off at the time of printing (samba seems to just drop the print job after a period of time if the machine is off). This script will mail you to tell you the machine isn't turned on yet and if you

All, I only recently started using the Samba product on our Solaris 2.5.1 server. I am using it for the sole purpose of creating unix type queues (actually win clients with attached printers) to allow a 3rd party application (using Oracle8.0.4) to print to client pc's. The 3rd party application will only print via a unix queue. Below is the error I receive when trying to use smbclient;

Last week I sent a question here about suppressing NT's banners, so that a LPR->SMB gateway running on Linux could provide its own banner pages. I got around that problem by having the NT guys create me a new queue, with headers suppressed, but found to my surprise that merely omitting "sh" in /etc/printcap did not cause Linux to print header sheets, when using RedHat's

Howdy I am trying to print files from one linux box (nubble) on another linux box (capeblanco) using the Samba script smbprint. While it appears to me I have everything set up correctly, obviously I am WRONG..because nothing is getting printed.. I have checked the print service from capeblanco by using the smbclient -L capeblanco listing which shows the "lp printer". I have added

Well, I finally managed to setup samba printing... almost. smbprint seems well and good... if you have a postscript printer, which I don't. So, I just see stair-stepping, raw postscript on the win98 box printer I'm sending to. I've configured magicfilter to handle postscript with gs, but I'm having trouble integrating magicfilter with smbprint. I'm not much of an expert on
