Hi, I installed a samba printer, that maps to a script to generate pdf files. It works, but there's a notable delay when selecting or printing to the printer: when I click 'print' in an application and I select the samba printer, there's a delay of about 5 to 10 seconds before the printer is accepted, and I can effectively print. Any clues on what could be the cause (and the

Hi all, Thought I'd post this to the list as I found a better way of doing it. Nice to have for posterity. Please include it in the source of samba if you wish - I hereby license it under GPL 1. install ghostscript (most distributions include it anyway) 2. put the following in the file /usr/sbin/pdfprint and make it executable by whatever your guest user for samba is : #!/bin/bash

Hi, I have trouble with the "force user" statement in 2.2.8. I'am using a small perl script to print into a PDF file via a printerdriver on a Win-client. It's basically a ps2pdf. This script must run as root, or it'll crash (don't know why, looks like a Ghostscript error, but thats not the point). Therefor I inserted a force user = root in my conf. Then I have a strange

When I log in into the domain a logon script is started that assigns some network drives.

Hi all The printing via Samba+Cups has stopped working. I'm using Mandrake 10.0 Official as a Samba server for file sharing and printing on a Windows network. Printing from a WindowsXP client to the Samba server now fails and I don't know why it has suddenly stopped, it used to work. File sharing still works okay. There are on no errors logged on the Linux Samba box, the Windows

Hello, First of all my thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I'm still having an issue getting this network printer going. I'm now getting a windows error from explorer.exe, i've checked all the windows system, application, and security logs and of course the error is not in them. I then turned samba's debug level to 10, reloaded it and tried again to access the printer. This

Hi @all, I have 2 questions about printer driver installation on w2k-client for a samba served printer: 1. If I want to install a driver on w2k workstation, I choose network printer and then can browse the network. If printers are served from a Nt/w2k-server, in my opinion it is not nessesary to double click the netbios name of the Nt/w2k-server to see the shared printers. In this case under
