similar to: Printer accounting/quota ?

Hi there, I'm newbie in Samba, so I beg for your excuse if my questions are stupid. Is it possible to use Samba as a "paid-for-print" server? If U know something about another free "paid-for-print" software, please let me know. 10x in advance, -- Julian

Howdy, I'm looking for a piece of software I can use for accounting printers shared on a Linux box via Samba, to Win98/2K/XP machines on a domain. In other words, I want to be able to give user a print quota (say, $3.00), then charge them 10c per page they print from a Windows client to a printer shared from a Linux box running Samba. If they're out of quota, it doesn't print

Hi all, We have a Debian Sarge Box with Samba 3.0.14a and Cups 1.1.23-10 for sharing files and printers. For printing we had cups configured to understand postscript files produced by the postscript driver in the windows clients. With this configuration we have no problems for doing Page Accounting with cups. But we had a lot of problems with some documents (powerpoint,

Hi, I am running CUPS-1.1.19 and Samba-2.2.8a on Debian 3.0 to serve both Windows and Unix clients. Has anyone got print quotas for Cups working? When I set quota using lpadmin, it does not limit the pages to be printed, in other words doesn't do anything. Any help is highly appreciated. Shanti

Hi, Sorry for cross-posting, but this seems to be an interdiciplinary issue. I would like our users to get a popup notification of the completion / failure of their jobs. I think that best way to implement this would be from CUPS, but I don't know how to generate the required information for SAMBA to send the message to the client. Any pointers welcome Thanks Gil

I have set up a samba server which i also want to use as printserver using cups. I have configured a samsung printer using cups and am also sharing it via samba by having the printer share in smb.conf file. Now the problem is that when i configure this printer on the windows machine and then send job to this server machine the page_log file is not being updated. Hence i m losing on the printer

Hi All, I have a strange problem with passwords, stored in LDAP. When i try to logon as a user with the correct password, access is denied and the log says check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [administrator] -> [administrator] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER When i try to logon a user with incorrect password, access is (of course) denied, but the log now says

Hi, I,m running Samba 3.0.1-2 on a RedHat 9.0 box, and would like to use the "User Manager for Domains" tool to control users and groups. But i can't get it to work proberly. Deleting users and groups, change group membership on users works fine, but adding users and groups does not. I have tried to find out how well the "User Manager for Domains" is supported in

I've also posted this message to the lprng list, but as I'm currently not sure where the problem lies, I'm posting it here too in the hope that someone has a clue..... I have recently installed a printer accounting system on my systems, and changed the print model for some of my users. In most cases, this has been fine, but users who are using HP Laserjet 4 printers are experiencing

Hi All, I have Samba 3.0.22-1ubuntu4 running on Ubuntu 6.01 (eft) and am trying to add printers using cupsaddsmb. On running it I get the following: root@pykota:/home/printeradmin# cupsaddsmb -U root -a -v Password for root required to access /var/run/cups/cups.sock via SAMBA: Running command: smbclient ///var/run/cups/cups.sock/print$ -N -A /var/spool/cups/tmp/454b654e20cfa -c 'mkdir

Hi Nik, Flushing MDB can only be done when we are managing it per station not per port. For that we need to have MCAST_TO_UCAST, EHT and FAST_LEAVE. Here one more point is - some vendors may offload MCAST_TO_UCAST conversion in their own FW to reduce CPU. So, the best way is to have MCAST_TO_UCAST enabled and MDB will become per station, so we can delete MDB on disconnect. Shall, I create one

Hi, I am installing a Samba 3.0.1 on RH90 for a little school, and they want to have access to a mobile usb-harddrive. The harddrive shoud be mapped via the login script, and here is were my troubles begin.... I have been experimenting with the autofs service, which works great if the harddrive is present at login time. If one login at a time where the harddrive isn't present the login

Sorry, if this has been dealt with before, but I couldn't find it. I tried installing openldap 2.2 + samba 3. Currently I only have one install of openldap 2.0 and samba 2.2 running. Now, it all looks quite good, but the smbldap-tools do not add the necessary structuralobjectClass entries, so using the tools fails. I was able to manually change the first populate - which could be exported

Hi, I ran into a crash using Objective-C with llvm/clang on ARM-Linux. The crash happens while unwinding the stack from pthread_exit as soon as the first call frame is reached that belongs to a function that uses the personality routine from libobjc2. This function is in a shared library (libgnustepbase), and here's the start of its entry in the execption table: GCC_except_table20:

Hello, Anyone who knows a fast and accurate algorithm for generating draws from an underdispersed Poisson distribution. Or even better, if there is a package containing such an implementation. Thanks Rene
