Someone please say it isn't so. I'm running Samba 2.2.7 on Linux, compiled from source. I use CUPS for my printing needs and I have samba setup to load printers. I'm having 2 problems: 1) if I add a new printer to CUPS (which in turn adds it to /etc/printcap) it doesn't show up in Samba. I've tried to -HUP the smbd process to get the printer to show up and that

I recent upgraded to 2.2.8, which went fine. When I checked smbclient -L firewall, I saw I Lost my printer share. I am using CUPS v1.1.3 for printing. When I went back to 2.2.7a it reappeared. 2 questions: 1> Why did it do this? I ./configured it --enable-cups- --with-pam_(smb) 2> Is there and advantage of upgrading such a small step? Or are there a big enough issues to warrant this

Hi, while using cups as a print system and sharing all the printers with samba to windows clients, is it possible to 'view' a newly created printer in the browse list without restarting smbd ? (samba 2.2.7) Holger

Hello, I have configured cups (1.1.18) on a Suse 8.2 Pro Linux server. I have also configured samba (2.2.7a), and joined a domain. I have created printers with cups and declared them to samba with cupsaddsmb command. All seems to be ok. I can print from my Linux server. But, when I want to print from ny windows2000 station: - I can find my linux server - I can find and connect printers

I am using Samba to successfully load the printer list directly from CUPS with one fairly significant caveat. If a printer is added to CUPS while Samba is running there is apparently nothing I can do to have it visibly appear when doing a list of the services in Samba (such as with "smbclient -L"). This is also a problem if Samba starts before CUPS in the boot sequence. I find that

First time I've seen this... Trying to install Samba 3.0.7 from rpms obtained from the samba.org site on a SuSE 8.2 system--very vanilla. Samba has not been installed previously on this box at all. outside:/home/data/Downloads/Samba-3.0.7/8.2 # rpm -Uvh libsmbclient3-3* samba3-3* samba3-client* samba3-win* --test file /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb from install of samba3-client-3.0.7-1

I am driving Suse 8.2, samba 2.2.7a, cups 1.1.18 As I mentioned recently I cannot see the cups printer queues from a windows client even if lpq -Pprinter on the cups server gives the correct status. I tested a litte more and got the following results: 1.) If I configure samba to printing = CUPS printcap name = CUPS I can see all queue entries in the windows status panel, too -- except

I have installed samba 3.0alpha20 and cups-1.1.18 on a freebsd 4.8 box. After reading all the documentation that samba provides as well as the cups administrators guide I am still stuck. I can print at the moment OK from my freebsd box to my network printer using cups, i can print from the shell and from a GUI (GNOME). I also have a professional w2k as a client and i want to print in my network

RH Linux 9 on AMD k6-2 500 Using HP deskjet 930c on USB Samba version: 2.2.7a cups version: 1.1.18 Hello - I have had a good look on this newsgroup - and what I've picked up I think is allowing me to ask these questions more intelligently. I've also had a good look at the CUPS documentation aswell as the Samba documentation. 1. Am I correct is assuming that CUPS only likes postscript,

Hi As per subject line... Samba 3 beta 3 installed and functional (e.g. appears in browse lists on windows, shares accessible etc.) on SuSE 8.2. CUPS 1.1.18 configured and functional, cups drivers installed. Using cupsaddsmb results in failure with DOS code 0x00000013: Running command: rpcclient localhost -N -U'root%******' -c 'adddriver "Windows NT x86"

I am driving a Suse 8.2 linux with cups 1.1.18 and samba 2.2.7a. The problem: The host serves several printers via cups. If some jobs are in one of the queues "lpq -Pprinter" or "lpstat -o printer" shows up the complete listing. Fine. Connected to the same print queue from a Windows (XP/NT/98/2k) box I cannot see the complete listing. Sometimes I see some of the jobs, most of

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Im currently running some tests for a samba/CUPS based print server. The print server is a member of an NT domain and uses winbind to import NT domain users. Users accessing the print server will be not from the same domain but from trusted domains. Everything basically seems to work, once you use sufficiently new versions of cups and samba. (I'm on Debian

I've recently attempted to convert from the Adobe PostScript drivers for my Canon BJC=2110 printer over to the native CUPS Windows PS drivers and can't quite get things to work correctly. After deleting the printer on my WinXP SP1 clients, verifying under "Server Properties" that the Adobe driver was removed, then reconnecting to my Samba printer, I connect fine but receive

Hey all!! Sorry about the crosspost but this invoves CUPS and Samba issues. [Samba 2.2.8 / CUPS 1.1.8 / Redhat 7.2 std] I have encountered a small problem (which is due to my own slipup more than anything else). I have "Windows 2000" versions of the Adobe postscript drivers installed on many of my 2000 machines. Now I am wanting to use the CUPS drivers which are "Windows 2000 or

I am attempting to setup a Samba printserver to replace our Windows Print servers. I have defined a few printers in CUPS, some raw, and some not. When I use the GUi to upload the drivers, The dialog works, however after that is accomplished, any attempt to get the printer properties or to use the printer from my W2K system (cpq0277) causes explorer to ABEND. System setup: RedHat 9 CUPS

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

Hi People, I have just built a Samba 3.0.2 server using Suse Standard Server 8 and Cups for printing. Setting up printers and printing works fine for all of the more modern printers, but older HP Laserjet 5N / 4 printers do not. When trying to print to them from Win 2k/XP the windows app that we're printing from just dies, or gives a "do you want to send error report to
