This is the EXACT problem I had. Haven't fixed it either.... if I have 10 printers.... upload all the drivers.. for all the OS's... how do I tell which drivers go with which printer? -----Original Message----- From: Andreas [mailto:andreas@conectiva.com.br] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 9:24 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] 2.2.8a, printer driver download: need to use

This really isn't a CentOS specific queation but that is our server OS of choice. I manage a student file server and i would like to add cloud access to it. Basically i would like our students to have access to the same files at home that they have at school. This would allow them to start an asignment at home, finish it at school, and print it off without having to worry about losing their

I just upgraded to Samba 3.0.2a last week. about mid week I started seeing problems like this in printing to one printer only. Any Ideas what could be wrong??

Hi! This teamware mailclient (teamware.com) that we use at the office has problems adding files as attachments from our Samba 3.0.2a share. The attachment file browser sees the files but fails to add them as attachments (with an error message: "valid.stf - file not found" regardless of the file name in question). I tracked this thing down to scandinavian letters (if your mail

I'm certain i'm just missing something and haven't hit the right search terms yet, however, the terms I've been trying all lead to others with the same problems and no solutions at all. My network is quite legacy, but has been working: nt4 PDC and BDC several samba file servers, various revisions DOS, Win95, Win98, NT4, 2k, xp clients I have an ubuntu 9.04 32bit samba 3.3.2

Hi all, I hope I don't make a prat of myself with my first posting... I've got a 'niggle' with Windows XP Pro (SP1a) clients and 3.0.2a PDC (Slackware 9.1, 2.4.22). Joing a domain, logging on etc is working perfectly but I'm getting a 'File Download' security warning when I try and open an executable that's stored on the server. If I agree to open the file it

Hi I've compiled samba 3.0.2a on Solaris 8 and have issues with home directory mounting. We previously had two servers each Solaris 8 running 2.2.8a, one as a pdc, the other as a bdc. Our users have their home directories split across the two servers, and the home directory was under 2.2.8a mounted by way of the NIS automap feature. They could log on to a WinXP machine (which was a

Hello, I've a samba 3.0.2a on a mandrake 9.2 with double authentification. A local authentification for users not on my domain and AD authentification for users on my domain. AD where on two win 2k servers. One of these server was moved on win 2003 server and then the AD authentification don't work any more. Here is my smb.conf file. getent passwd give only local users [global]

I'm a bit of newbie to Wine in many respects so this may be obvious to more seasoned Wine veterans, in which case I apologize. I rely on Wine to run Lotus Notes on Linux - this project has released me from my NT workstation :-) So after a kernel upgrade from 2.2.17-21mdk (as supplied with Mandrake 7.2) to an unpatched 2.2.19 about the first thing I tried was Lotus Notes on Wine. Parts of it

I'm running Samba 3.0.2a (UCLA binaries) on AIX 5.2. The net command worked fine and joined a win 2k domain. The wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g work great. However, all connections fail unless the user id exists on the AIX machine. I can bypass the problem by using username map and a dummy account "bozo". Here's a section of the Configuration # Samba config file created using SWAT

Can you please help or point me in the correct direction to solve the following problem We have an old stock control program which runs on all types of MS os's from DOS to NT4. However, It refuses to lock correctly on a samba server (Version samba-2.0.6-19991110.386.rpm). When both the file and lock program are placed in the same directory and the lock program run from a dos prompt on one

Dear helpeRs- I'm using a for loop to create a series of models. I'm trying to assign a name to each model created, using the loop index. The loop gets stuck at the name of the model, giving the error "target of assignment expands to non-language object". The linear model runs without error; only the name is problematic. Here is the current loop syntax. The use of dat

Okay, this is near the end of a marathon day trying to get this linux machine up and running as a PDC. At this point I am unable to get a Windows 2K machine to join the domain, it responds with "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password". Samba log shows the following: rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c: _samr_set_userinfo(2937) _samr_set_userinfo: 2937

Hi all, I have some machines running FreeBSD and dovecot deployed. User's home dir is on NFS mount and I've found that dovecot only works with dotlock file locking mechanism, fcntl and flock failed. Now it causes problem with thunderbird (thunderbird is cachine connections) waiting forever and I noticed that dovecot is trying to acquire a lock but unsuccessful since the lock file is in

Hey all... I am trying to connect to a Epson FX-85 24-pin printer on my file/print/samba server. I am running SuSE 9.1/Samba 3.0.2a with CUPS as the print spool.

Hi! I spent a few hours in google but didn't find any solution to make rsync backups of Win XP (2k, NT) machine to Lunix rsync server? As far as I understand we can't teach cygwin to work with unicode filenames, isn't it? Does anyone knows the solution? Is there any non-cygwin rsync Windows realisations? Or maybe there is any other program that can do backups with same manner?

Hi there. I'm reasonably new to Samba but quite experainced with Linux. The other day I decided to throw a file server together for my house. I put together a Linux box with 5 120 gig drives raid 5'd in a rack mount box and put it in the basement. It's running debian and Samba 3.0.2a-1. The Kernel is 2.4.26. I am then mounting the drive as a mapped network drive under a windows XP

hi, Here's an interesting one... If I view the files on my Samba server, the file size is reported differently depending on if I'm looking from WinXX or Win2k. That is, if I do a 'properties' on a file with Windows ME for instance, I see 'Size' and 'Size on Disk' numbers that seem reasonable. Size on Disk is slightly larger which seems reasonable. But if I look

Hi, Is there a locking problem with version 3.0.2a? We have been running this version over the past several weeks with no problems, but over the past few days have been experiencing horrendous apparently random problems with Outlook, Printing and Excel. Outlook fails with the error "folder being modified by another workstation" Excel gives "disk full" errors Printing stops
