similar to: Re: Win client can print if printer manually createdbut notwhen auto driver installed

Is this a samba issue or cups? I can print from a client just fine if I install a local printer attached to a local smb port (\\server\printershare). But when I create a "network" printer (using apw or double clicking on printershare in explorer), all I get for a test page (or from anything else actually) is a blank page with three non-alpha, greek lookin chars in the upper right.

Just deployed samba print server. Print jobs are going thru but getting: Mar 11 08:11:53 printsrv smbd[2017]: [2004/03/11 08:11:53, 0] smbd/connection.c: register_message_flags(220) Mar 11 08:11:53 printsrv smbd[2017]: register_message_flags: tdb_fetch failed Mail list archive thread said to use tdbbackup. What good will that do? What should I look for in tdbbackup -v? Should I delete

Recently switched main samba servers and turned up a problem CUPS printers are all published and can be connected to by browsing the server, but if, as I was used to doing, you connect by entering the UNC of the printer directly in the run dialog in windows. you get "\\server\printershare is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the

Further. What's a concise way to describe this problem. It must have been encountered before. I usually google all of my issues and find answers that way.

You must create a output filter. Edit /etc/printcap and add your client printer like this: ... PC-PRINTER:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/PP01:\ :mx#0:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :if=/var/spool/lpd/Filter/PP01:\ :sh: ... Adjust the printcap parameters as needed (spool directory, directory to find the filter script). Make sure the lpd can access the directory. Consult your manual. Now create the filter

hi i have NT and Windows 2000 Client served by a Samba PDC. This PDC is also CUPS-Printingserver. Now i up loaded the windows printing driver to the Samba-server into the print$ share. Under Windows 2000 i can download/install the driver with every PDC-account by clicking on the printershare, under Windows NT i need to be in the local administration group. Is there any possiblity to it under

Hi, I have the problem, that from a Windows 2000 System (possibly from others to), a user can use a printershare with the guest account and I don't know why. Following my smb.conf: Samba config file created using SWAT # from 192.168.2.20 (192.168.2.20) # Date: 2004/11/20 14:26:14 # Global parameters [global] unix charset = ISO_8859-15 display charset = ISO_8859-15 workgroup = WG interfaces

First allow me to issue this disclaimer... The following problem is most likely due to my own ignorance. Now on to the problem... I'm setting up some printer shares that allow automatic driver installation to Win 9x clients [printer$]. When we try to use these, the drivers install beautifully, but we get the following error message when we try to print: "There was an error writing to

Dear Samba Gurus We have been using samba to work a print solution for our University for quite sometime, where the user doesn't need an account on the domain, nor does the PC need to be part of our Domain or Workgroup. Users can print to the machine via \\server\printershare and this has worked perfectly in the past, because %U is returned as the username their workstation recognises them

I am having an awful time getting a cups printer on a linux system visible to windows XP. I have the printer, a brother hl1440 laser, working on Linux cups,named 1440. I then created another printer on it called raw-1440 and specified raw driver so teh Windows XP driver would be used. Here is my smb.conf entries: load printers = yes printcap name = cups printing = cups [printers] comment =

I am having problems with the driver installation for WIN40 (9x machines) in Samba 2.2.5 / Samba 2.2.6pre2 on a Solaris 8 machine. I build binary packages for both debian and solaris environments. For debian 2.2.5, I use the 2.2.5 source with the printing patch provided by Jerry Carter. I use the packaging/Debian/debian systems to build and package the source. For Solaris I use the

Hi @all, I have 2 questions about printer driver installation on w2k-client for a samba served printer: 1. If I want to install a driver on w2k workstation, I choose network printer and then can browse the network. If printers are served from a Nt/w2k-server, in my opinion it is not nessesary to double click the netbios name of the Nt/w2k-server to see the shared printers. In this case under

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Sorry, I'm a bit slap-happy...been fighting Win2k/APW problems ever since I upgraded to 2.2.3a. Still having problems >2.2.4-pre and now 2.2.4. I have a workaround, sort of...set disable spoolss=no, install drivers for the HP printers; then set disable spoolss=yes. Add "use client driver=no" on each of the HP printer entries. Add

Hello, ** Please CC replies to ian@ichilton.co.uk as I am not subscribed ** I have a Brother laser printer connected to a linux box running Samba. It is working fine from Win98 workstations, but now I have Win2K on my laptop, I am unable to print. This is because the linux box obviously doesn't have the win2k driver so I tried to install it as a local printer and then change it to a network

Hi I recently tried to install the printerdriver to the samba server (samba 3.0alpha30 on debian) from a windows 2000 client. The APW asked me for a Win2k-server cd for the winnt drivers, although i had them on a disc...which I don't have 2 Questions: 1) does anybody know why the APW will not accept my winnt driver from the driver disc when i comes to install the winnt driver 2) is it

I have heard something about a 'known bug in 2.2.4' so this might already be known. If so, I just want to get confirmation... I have a new samba 2.2.4 running on a RH7.2 box, running solely as printserv. The spoolss printing functionality is working fine: uploading drivers works ok (aside from a few APW quirks if you change drivers). I'm using CUPS as unix printing backend. The
