similar to: How to print from Linux to printer connected to WIn98

Hi, I have a light firewall machine that also acts as a Samba print server for a Win32 host on my intranet. For some reason, if the Win98 machine hasn't printed for an extended length of time, the printer goes off-line. When the Win32 tries to print, the printer throws an error and we have to unplug the printer and then plug it back in. It then tries to finish the print job which

I set up a print/fax server here using RH Linux 6.0, and Samba 2.0.3. The printer is an old (but still very reliable) HP Laserjet 4. Printing from the Linux box using lpr works fine. However, whenever someone tries to print from a Windows98 box through SAMBA, there is an extra page printed on the end. This gets really annoying to the users, more so because the extra pages cannot be put back into

Hi list, i have installed the samba3 - Version 3.0.9 - in my FreeBSD server. I have one HP1300 LaserJet, and its work fine in my FreeBSD. When i log in the win98, i can mapping the printer, but when i send to print a test page, its leave all wrong. I'm trying to print some document in the Word, but i have the same result. In my smb.conf i have this configuration: [Global] load printers

hi, all I have samba 2.2 as PDC running under AIX. a HP 4100tn is installed and serves printing to all win98 clients. the printer driver on AIX is for HP 4/4M plus and works fine for all 98 computers. Now i have joined the xp clients to PDC and only when adding printer, it prompts that 'the server for the 'hp laserjet 4/4M plus PS' printer does not have the correct printer driver

I have a problem I hope someone can help with. I have TLS 6.0 set up to provide print services to Win98 clients using samba. There are two printers, an HP LaserJet 4050 and an HP DeskJet 950C, both attached to separate JetDirect 170 print servers. The HP4050 works wonderfully, no problems at all. The 950C doesn't work. The printer is available when browsing and can be installed on the

I'm stuck. I have Samba running on my Red Hat 7.2 Linux box. I can mount by remote dirctory on the Linux box via Samba. But I can't print to the Linux printer. I have a Linux printer installed and I can print to it using lpr. I have a printer configured in Samba and can see that from the Win98SE box. I've clicked on the Samba printer name and configured a Win98 printer.

Here is my smb.conf. Maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. [global] workgroup = HOMEGROUP log level = 8 path = /var/spool/lpd/HPDESKJET default service = global writable = yes printer = HPDESKJET remote announce = 192.168.x.x/HOMEGROUP print command = lpr -l -P%p %s printing = bsd load printers = yes dns proxy = No lprm command = lprm public = yes printcap name =

I now have the deskjet print printing from my Win98 box. Something in the "hpdeskjet" entry was causing the error of "No machine name found" to appear when I tried to print from Win98. I fixed this by deleting the entry and re-creating it. I also specifically added allowed IP addresses instead of using "all" in the config file. I created a generic text printer

I have a printer - an HP 1120c - connected to my wife's Win98 machine. Occasionally I would like to print to that printer instead of the HP Laserjet 4+ connected to my Linux machine. Could someone explain a couple of things for me? 1. I am running Mandrake 6.0. When I start printtool, it complains that it does not believe Samba is installed. Why and how do I fix? 2. I ignore the message and

Hello together. I have a Problem with my local Fileserver. Scince a few days Win98 Clients a not possible to access Directorys deeper than one Directory.. For example: \\rechner\cinema is avaible, but if the Clients access a subdirectory \\rechner\cinema\bad_movie, then the Win98 Clients get a message that the Directory doesn't exist. I changed nothing in my smb.conf for a few weeks, so I am

Hello together, i have a problem with win98 Clients if they connect to one the Server. The can't access Directorys deeper than the share. I use samba 2.2.3a-1 for Debian Linux. I know about the Password Problem with Windows and I can say that this isn't the Problem. I already removed samba an reinstalled it again, but it doesn't take any effect. I append my smb.conf. I hope for

My Win98(SE) Samba clients can query the Samba-exported printer status, but Win2K(SP3) clients cannot. Both clients can actually print documents. I am running Samba v2.2.3a on a Linux (Red Hat v7.3) system. This server makes 2 printers (via a LPR subsystem) and several shared directories available to our Linux, Win98 and Win2K (soon to be WinXP also) clients. From a Win98 client, print

Thanks for the suggestion Andrew, I was hopeful, but removing the writeable made no difference. Still prints from NT, 2000, XP but not from Win95, 98. Any other ideas? -peter.

I have a WinXP guest under VMWare on my CentOS 5.1 host and it can access the CentOS printer(s) just fine. However, I also have a Win98 box on the LAN that I would like to be able to print on the CentOS printer. When I try to connect to the printer, Win98 tells me that it can't find the network...? Any suggestions? (This "slightly" really is - it _is_ directly related to CentOS,

Please lend me some expertise... Ok, I know suggesting a bug is a bit impolite, but I cannot find a solution for this and none of the helpful people who have responded have been able to help either... If I come off sounding a bit short it's just because I've tried many things to get these older clients printing. :-) Don't mean to annoy anyone. Appreciate any help! Have several

I'm a newbie at using Samba. I've been working to allow my Win98 users access to file space on the Linux box. I'm now trying to them access to the Linux printer. The printer works fine within Linux, but when I try to print to it from the Win98 side, I get an error saying unknown device. I've configured the printer as a network printer, it is seen by Network Neighborhood, but I

Hi all, I try to explain my strange Samba problem: I've done a linuxbox with Mandrake 8.2 distro; installed Samba 2.2 packages and two printers attached via parallel port: one works with the motherboard built-in parallel port, the other is connected via a pci parallel port card. Both works fine on win2000 clients (and on the linuxbox, too :); on windows 98 clients, both printers are
