similar to: More Printing Fun (Point and print not working)

I have an Ubuntu Sever 9.10 setup running Samba as a PDC for a bunch of Windows clients. Everything is functioning perfectly except for the point and print delivery of printer drivers. I have tested this with Ubuntu 9.10's Samba (3.4.0) and two of the Debian Samba packages (3.4.3 and 3.4.5). All seem to demonstrate the same problem. *What works:* Adding a printer and manually installing the

Hello, been googling this for a while. Read GD's presentation on why printing is such a pain... Anyway, I'm using 3.4.8 on Freebsd 8.1 I've tried a few combinations - best luck is with 3.2.5, but I'd like to move forward a bit. So, I've got the ADS part working pretty good. happy with how that's going. my problem is when I attempt to load printer drivers.

Hi, I am trying to set up my internet connection sharing linux box as a stand-alone samba server. When i try to access the server from a Windows XP Pro client using \\192.168.0.1 i get a dialog box asking for a username and password. I duly enter this and the dialog box immediately re-appears without connecting me to the share. There exists both a samba and linux account with the same

We're using Cups and Samba with Adobe Postscript Drivers to print from XP SP2 machines via our Solaris and Linux Domain Controllers. Everything has been working OK, but when I setup an a new printer (identical ppd file to another one), it doesn't download the drivers on XP when I add the printer. This is happening on two domain controllers in different offices. It gives the error when

Hello to everyone, my problem to many of you will be quite simple to others quite hard (like me) I have had no previous experience with webmin of samba so im kinda new to this. My problem is that everytime i access my samba share (on my debian system) on windows and want to either play an mp3 or watch a film or get some college work, Windows Xp pro freezes the hell out of my computer. I am

Question about changing file permissions in Windows XP when running samba as a PDC. If you hit Properties and go to the security tab, instead of listing the proper group/user names it lists the full SID. Is there a way to get Windows XP to map these to the proper user/group names? I am using LDAP as a backend with Samba. Thanks. -- James

I am having some problems with uploading printer drivers. I follow the procedures as outlined in both TOSHARG and Samba-3 by Example, and I use the Add Printer Drivers Wizard to upload the drivers. It looks OK, and the drivers make into the \\server\print$\W32X86\3 directory. But when I click okay, I get "Printer settings could not be saved. Access is denied." This happens when

hi, I am quite new on using Samba and sorry maybe ask a silly question here. I set up simple Samba server on Fedora3 using the samba rpm package comes with fedora3( version 3.0.10-1.fc3). I use the SHARE security level to make things easier. Everything goes fine so far, except that for some windows user, some times, on browsing some directories, it takes extremely long time to display the

Hello everybody, I'm using CUPS 1.1.19 and Samba 2.2.8a on SuSE Linux 9.0 (I'm using SuSE's pre-built packages). Samba is running as a domain controller and the workstations are running Windows XP Professional. I manually installed cups-samba 1.1.19 Windows printer drivers because SuSE doesn't supply them. I've got three printers on the network which I would like to print on

Hi, I've also got problems downloading drivers from samba to a windows client. I'm running Debian Samba 3.0.7-1, and Cupssys 1.1.20final My Windows Client is a Win2KPro. I succesfully installed my printers with Cups and they work fine under Linux, and from remote cups clients. I've been trying to follow the samba docs on serving postscript drivers for cups from the print share in

Hi, I'm trying to configure my Samba server to support Point-and-install driver installation of a CUPS printer (the printer works with Samba when Point-and-install is not configured, and the driver is installed manually on Windows XP). I've gone through the actual configuration process, and am able now to just install the printer on Windows XP machines via the Samba-supplied driver.

Hi list I have two very similar printers set up on CUPS and Samba is configured to share the drivers. I had been playing around with setting up a RAW printer queue with native Windows drivers but eventually gave up on that. I deleted all printers and redid them from scratch and now only one of them works. Setup: Ubuntu Karmic 2.6.31-15-server #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 10 15:50:36 UTC 2009

Hi list, a strange problem occurs in samba 3.0.8 (Debian 3.0.8-2 package): When a Domain-User tries to log off (WinXP SP2), the workstation fails to store the profile in the PROFILE-Path. The message "cannot store \\SERVER\Profiles\Administrator\Recent" pops up. But this is only the half truth. The directory for the user (f.e. Administrator) is been created. A few files are copied

Hello, all ! I'm setting up a print server with Samba and Cups. All goes fine, until I try to upload the drivers from a Win2000 box to the Samba server: The driver files are copied to the correct directory ([PRINT$]/W32X86/...), and everyone seems to be happy... Until I click on the "OK" button: I then get a message saying: "The printer parameters could not be saved. Acces

After uploading the print drivers from w2k and pressing OK or Apply... or selecting this printer from the uploaded drivers and pressing OK and Apply, the printer properties window hourglasses and my machine logs fill up with the messages below. The general idea is, it opens the 15 files that were uploaded for the drivers. Then reopens and closes each one, then closes them all. This process

I'm trying to get Samba to print with CUPS and the universal postscript driver. I've followed the HOWTO at http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html (a truely great work, IMO). However, I cannot get a WinXP or Win2K machine to automatically install the driver when I double-click on the printer after browsing the share. I've done everything up

I've attempted to do the same using Win2k's APW. At first it looks like it's going to work, but at the very last part it gives an access denied error. It gives the errors AFTER it copies all the files to the server... Here's the log.spleen (my win2k is spleen): unix_clean_name [W32X86/PSCRIPT.NTF] [2003/08/08 16:46:05, 3] lib/util.c:unix_clean_name(580) unix_clean_name

Hello from Canada! I'm posting again about a problem I posted about in February, I'll repost the message here, with updated information. When I read that it was a possible/probably bug with Samba, I decided to wait a while and see if it wasn't hashed out by now. It doesn't appear to be fixed (or I messed up). Anyways, here is the information with updates. A "*" indicates

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. I set it up thru the graphical printer configuration utility. I am trying to set it up as a network printer from my Windows XP machine using Samba.
