similar to: SAMBA or CUPS printing an extra page

OK, I just took my first non-root user live on my Samba 3.0.7 system. Printing is via cups, with drivers stored in the print$ share. This user is a local power user. She can add printers, or root can add them. Root can also print from them. If this user tries to print anything (a test page even) she gets a non-verbose error that looks like a permissions error. She can view the queues

Hello, I'm hoping that somebody out there can help with this strange problem... First off I'm running Kernel 2.6.9, Samba 3.0.9 on Debian Linux, with WinXP clients. Users working out of their home directories are creating and saving Excel documents and when they later attempt to edit and save the document they've created it results in this message from Excel 2000: "Document

So SAMBA no longer supports print driver downloads. That is about the only conclusion that I can come to at this point. I've not been able to get Windows printer driver downloads to work right since Samba 2.2.2. No one but printer admins displays the correct settings for printers, everyone else gets the original printer defaults that they cannot change. I've tried this with

Greetings, I have Samba 4.4.7 running on several Sparc boxes running Solaris 9 as member servers in an Active Directory environment. (I do not control the AD configuration) I am able to connect to the servers using windows clients and smbclient - the problem I have run into is when I try to add domain users to local groups on the Samba servers I am told the users do not exist. As these

Greetings, My odd question for the week - I've been unable to figure out if/how to do this. Given an Active Directory user ID, is there a way to get the user's real name? During testing of our Samba AD member servers I have seen user's given names appearing in the log files - is there a way that I can pull that for my own use? Our site uses loginIDs for users that give no clue

Hello, I'm having problems configuring Samba to work using ADS. I've successfully compiled LDAP. When I try ./configure --with-pam --with-winbind --with-ads --with-krb5 --with-ldap It says "Active Directory support requires LDAP support" Are there any variables that need to be set? I've done --with-ldap=/usr/local/openldap (This the prefix for openldap). I'm

Greetings, No helpful hints have been offered to my winbind issues with Samba 3.4.9 and Solaris 9 I started trying to build Samba 3.5.6. Using gcc 3.4.6. I added "-lintl" to the LIBS option in the Makefile which cleared some earlier linker errors involving libintl_gettext, libintl_textdomain and libintl_bindtextdomain being undefined, except with winbind: Linking shared library

Yes, I know that version is obsolete and as soon as I can actually get the later versions of Samba to run and behave on my Solaris 10 boxes i will upgrade. AD member servers. Using rid to map UID numbers as not available from our AD folks. Two of the machines are going on their merry own way rather than creating the same UID numbers for AD users that other samba servers are using. On two

Greetings, Still no progress trying to get Samba 3.5.6 built on Solaris 10, using gcc 3.4.6. Maybe fresh eyes will see something? Been having issues building samba since 3.4.9 (and anything greater than 3.2.15 on Solaris 9 where samba will build, but winbind will not work properly for user authentication.) techops$ make Using CFLAGS = -I/opt/local/kerberos5/include -O -I.

Greetings, I have an elderly installation of Samba 3.5.8 running on 10 Sparc servers (and 3.5.12 on Solaris 9 servers with the same issue) set up as Active Directory member servers. Since we've laid-off everyone else around here I have not had the opportunity to update the Samba installation - and have not needed to as it has been very solid. Suddenly last Friday the Samba servers

Greetings, all, I have a fresh install of Samba 2.2.7 on a Solaris 9 machine. Stand alone, not part of a domain. Testing with a stand alone Windows 2000 professional client with service pack 3 installed. I am having problems setting defaults for the installed printer drivers and I have been unable to load Win98 drivers to go along with the W2k drivers. Printers being tested are an HP LJ

Greetings, Still trying to get Samba 3.0.15pre2 built on a Solaris 9 box with PAM support. I am using gcc 3.3.2 and I have openldap-2.2.24, krb5-1.4, and Cyrus SASL 2.1.20 installed. I have found other posting by people with problems building on Solaris as well as asking about the "_pam_macros.h" file that seems to be missing on Solaris. Posting about problems, but not with

Greetings, I've been reading and re-reading "Chapter 12. Group Mapping: MS Windows and UNIX", Mailing list messages with the subjects "valid users = +group doesn't work" and "Unix ADS group membership or vice versa" and all I've gotten is more confused. I have to move my samba servers from a Samba PDC environment to Active Directory (AD) where they will

Greetings, I have been working on getting Samba 3.0.20rc2 on a Sun Solaris box to play nice with our institution's Active Directory (AD) environment. The AD set-up is pretty plain and I have no ability to make changes to its configuration - a different department runs that show. Should I be able to store the roaming profile information on my Samba server in an AD environment? The rest

Hi, I'm running samba-3.0.5 on OpenBSD 3.5. I'm trying out using samba as a print server for the first time, and it works ok, but I have this problem where everytime I print anything, a additional blank page comes out of the printer at the end of what was just printed. It's an old HP Laserjet 4 connected to the parallel port of the samba server. /etc/printcap lp|HP4|HP Laserjet

I am using Samba PDC with OpenLDAP2 and smbldap-tools. As part of my logon.bat, I call a script called ifmember.exe. This script can list out the groups a user is a member of. It is reporting that my root user is a member of the group 'engr.' I don't know if this is a bug with ifmember.exe or if it's an issue in Samba or in LDAP. Here is some relevant data:
