Here is my smb.conf. Maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

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

Hi folks - I am having printing problems with our older machines. Printing is working okay for our Windows NT, 2000 and XP clients. However, with windows 95 & 98, the print job gets put into the Samba spool directory (path = /var/spool/lp/tmp/samba) but doesn't make it to the printer. The print files stay there in the directory - don't get removed. Samba version is 2.2.7a, on

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 am setting up samba as a print server on a FreeBSD machine. I would like the users to be able to control the print queue by using the Pause option in Windows NT. It seems that I have a permission problem doing this though. -- Portion of smb.conf -- [global] lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j queuepause command =

Hi all, Have got Winbind working again successfully on another box, but this time the printer won't work, it worked fine last time. The printer installs fine, and it lets me print to it, but nothing comes out on the printer, no sign of anything being sent to it. I think it's a permissions problem or something...but I've not much clue when it comes to printing on *nix how it actually

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 set up a Samba server to act as our lab's print server for a bunch of NT clients. It works quite well, except for one thing. Nobody can control the print queue from Windows. When a job is sent, it never shows up in the Windows print queue window, even when there are lots of other jobs ahead of it. Using lpq under Linux shows the jobs just fine. Lprm et al work perfectly too. So I assume

we're using samba 3.0.11 (updated from 2.2.19) after the update, the windows 98 machines all showing only the short filenames on the server. (on other servers there are long filenames still available). can anybody give me an idea? thx in advance kurt smb.conf: ====================================================================== [global] # 2005-01-05 einbau wixp # vfs object =

Greetings: I just upgraded a RH-9 server, running Samba 2.28 to RHEL-3 which installed samba-3.0.2-6.3E. The "old" RH-9 box (print/file server) had 2 printers attached to it (1 parallel and 1 usb). All the printers and fileshares worked great. So I upgraded and the fileshares via Samba work perfectly (as expected) and the RHEL box accepts and print jobs sent to them correctly

You need to add a semicolon and then the command rm %s to the end of your print command. However, you'll need to delete the files already there manually from Unix. print command = /bin/pt %p %s %M %U %T %a %v %m %I %d;rm %s Steve Litt At 03:22 AM 12/09/1999 +1100, you wrote: >I've set up Samba 2.0.6 for use as a print server on our company NT >network.

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

Greetings, I have configured Samba 2.0.5a as the master domain controller in a Samba server / Win98 client configuration (no NT anywhere) and most everything works great. Users are authenticated and shares are browsable. I configured the [netlogon] share using the example from the Blair book. Right out of the block it worked like a champ. However, at some point the netlogon.bat stopped being

I have the following printers shared by samba: HP LaserJet 1200 Epson Stylus Color 3000 Epson Stylus Pro XL HP DesignJet 755 CM HP DesignJet 2500 CP The problem I am having is that Windows XP and Windows NT are using different drivers for the same

OK, I have been wrestling with this for two weeks now, so somebody please help ! We have an existing Samba Print Server, running RedHat linux, kernel 2.2.19, that runs fine, but is a P133 with 64 mb ram. So we built a new PC, the slowest thing we could buy, a duron 1 ghz with 512 mb RAM. Old printer server is running Samba 2.2.5, new printer server is running samba 2.2.5, and Slackware 8.1,

I crossed few similar questions in the digest and the news group, however I didn't cross the solution. I set a Linux Slackware as a samba server (16p11) with HP LJ attached to its parallel port. The server takes care of the print jobs too well; The server spool simply swallows print jobs. What should be the set up to let an MS user (95/wfw) monitor ("lpq") and control

I just upgraded our Sun OS 4.1.3 servers to samba 2.0.0 from the last 1.19 release, but the switch has changed how browsing works with NT 4.0 SP 3. 1. After double-clicking on Network Neighborhood there's now a considerable delay before anything appears -- before it was virtually immediate. 2. The computers in the workgroup no longer appear; I now get only "Entire Network", and
