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 Folks, I will personally send $50(AU) of Pizza to anyone that solves this one :) We have a network comprising approx 30 Windows workstations all logging in to a samba machine running as a PDC. The main exported file system is an NFS mounted file system, but this was happening back when this was an xfs file system as well. ACL's are enabled. We are running Samba Version 2.2.8a. The

I can't seem to find an answer or a workaround, and I've received stoney silence on this one. There aren't any answers in the archives (well, I didn't find any in the hours on several days I spent, anyhow). I'm convinced that I can't be the *only* one with this problem, nor am I convinced that there is absolutely no one who can help. Please feel free to jump in with

I'm running samba 2.2.3a-6 under Debian (testing) and I am having a heck of a time getting Windows 2000 to print to my printer. I keep getting that "Access denied, unable to connect" message. At one point I had it so you could print test pages, but as soon as you tried to print from an application, it would break. However, that doesn't even work anymore. I've been reading

Greetings, I'm not on the list, so please CC me, thanks. :) Problem: printing a full-page graphic stops 3 inches into the print.

I have an Epson Stylus Color 880, connected to our network via an external ethernet printserver. I used to run lprng on the samba server (which is a domain controller), and the Windows clients had one minor problem accessing this printer via Samba (2.2.3a, then): Every time a client wanted to print, the Epson status monitor on the client would complain about communication problems with the

well i've tried everything trying to get r/w access to my linux box (debian 2.2.3 running samba 2.0.7) from win2k. can only get readonly. i'm hoping some kind sould might be able to take a look at my samba config and let me know what i'm doing wrong... # Samba config file created using SWAT # from localhost (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2001/11/01 00:39:30 # Global parameters [global]

Good evening: I am running RedHat Linux 8.0 on a box that has my Epson Stylus Color 777 printer attached to it. The printer works fine from all applications on my Linux box using a driver I picked up from TurboPrint. I have downloaded and installed Samba 2.7.2 and am trying to print from a Windows 2000 box to this Linux machine. The problem is that when I print, the document seems to queue up

Hi all, I have a small network set up, on which I have 3 Linux-Mandrake Boxes and one Windows98 Machine.

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......

I'm trying to get my Epson Stylus Color 600 to work with a windows app using wine. My distr (SuSE 9.2) uses CUPS and works fine, but i can't get it to work in wine.

I have a SAMBA print share set up for an EPSON Stylus Colour 800 Printer. It works OK, but when printing from Windows clients it will only ever print one copy of a document despite selecting multiple copies. My Print command is : print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -s -P%p %s How can I fix this. Thanks, Dave

Hi. I've been running CentOS 4 since it was released (since 4.0). I did a fresh install and have kept it updated using up2date and yum so at present my system is running CentOS 4.2. I mostly use my system as a super-user and so I can mostly do everything without worrying too much about permissions. Not too long ago I created a "general" user account which is automatically logged

Hi. I mostly use my system as a super-user and so I can mostly do everything without worrying too much about permissions. Not too long ago I created a "general" user account which is automatically logged in after a few seconds for others to have (limited) access to the system. Mostly everything works (ie. CD/DVD writing, sound, floppy access, etc.) But when it comes to printing, only

I am really quite puzzled as to why I have to edit smb.conf every time I want to print to the FreeBSD machine from Win2K. (Running FBSD 4.7, samba 2.2.7 and cups 1.1.15.1_4. When I log onto FBSD with username, password, I see the folders for the printers, home, tmp, etc. but no printer. (Only 1 installed - Epson Stylus Color 900). I can access the shares on FBSD from Win2k, but there is no

I have menaged to setup Samba services to share an IBM 4039 printer and have tested another printer (Epson LX-800) on the PC. It works fine. The weird thing, the IBM4039 will not print anything. All the jpbs will be spooled. For each print job to be printed. I will need to switch off the printer and switch it on again. Have anyone encountered such problems before? I know there is basically

My wife has just gotten a new printer which works perfectly when connected either to her Win98 box or to my woody box. However I am unable to share the printer between the two machines. Here are my choices in order of increasing desireability. I could of course just move the cable whenever I want to print from my box. This is the obviously least desireable option. The windows machine can

Hello: I have a printer set-up and working correctly on my Linux machine running Fedora Core 1. It is set up as a local printer called printer.
