This is probably more of a Cups issue, however, I have a question about the spool files from sharing Cups printers in Samba. The spool directory on my Samba server seems to be holding print job files from past print jobs. I'm wondering what is the proper way to eliminate these files? Any help is appreciated. Tim

I downloaded the drivers from: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=pdrv&platform=win 7.4MB Adobe Universal PostScript Windows Driver Installer 1.0.6 - English 5/23/2002 And installed the Generic Driver, shared the printer and went the the print$ share - none of the expected files were in there ... any ideas???

Hi List. I have some weirdness here which I have no idea how to resolve. I have been runing samba for the las two years on a suse 8.2 box with no problem at all. Last week I had a file system failure and was forced to rebuild. Rebuilt using SuSE 9.1 and SAMBA 2.28 When I started restoring data, I noticed that all files with .eml extensions could not be written to disk.!?!? As an experriment, i

Hi All, Has anyone managed to get a Mac (OS X I'm using) to authenticate to a Samba/NT domain? I've been playing with this all day, and am not getting very far - smbd, nmbd and winbind (3.0.2) all run fine, I can see the domain, can connect individually to windows shares, wbinfo shows users (and groups, I assume), but there's no hints as far as what the equivalent to

I have users that belong to several groups. I want a logon script to be run for each of the groups to which a user belongs. For example, when I logon, I want admin.bat, users.bat, and someothergroup.bat to run. On Novell I used to use 'if Member of groupName...', but I don't know how to do this in Samba.. Thanks, Dean

Hi to all. We have a samba-2.2.8a-220 Server. The server works still fine with several clients (W9x, W2k, WXP and smbmounts via Linux). But now I have to connect an Apple OSX and now I have one problem. From OSX I can connect to the shares, browse the file listing. But when a file is copied into a share, the file is on the destination with 0 (zero) Bytes filesize. The linux uid and gid are

Hi. Some of my friends like to drag their computers to my place for LAN parties sometimes and I've set up a DHCP server on my Linux gateway for easy configuration. When someone sets up a game server on their computer, we still have to resort to broadcasting via the voice-over-air protocol to get the IP to everyone. Today I set up a WINS server with Samba on my Linux gateway and all of my

I'm having trouble printing to a HP LaserJet 6MP Postscript printer. I'm using CUPS and normal UNIX printing works fine. I've tried to configure SAMBA for point and click printing. That all seemed to go okay except that what is printed is: ===================================================== -12345X@PJL JOB @PJL SET RESOLUTION = 600 @PJL SET ECONOMODE = OFF @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE =

Hi: I have a question regarding printer support/services. Does Samba support shared printers directly attached to a Windoz or Linux machine? (i.e. attached via a parallel port or USB port to either the Samba machine or one of the Linux or Windoz boxes). If so, how does one configure Samba and/or the other network machines to configure the printers to make them reachable to the rest of the

Hi, I'v been googling around for information using a samba server as authentification and fileserver for mac os x clients. At the moment I have all useraccounts and (home-)shares configured on the samba server and I can manually connect to the server from the os x clients. My Questions: Has someone a how to configure a loginscript for mounting the samba shares? Or has someone a how to

I have a client who has a bunch of macs accessing some samba shares, and they write these ._filename and .DS_STORE files all over the place, he would perfer it to not write these files at all. Anyone ran into this issue? what would be the best way to prevent these files from getting written onto the shares? veto? -- Matt Pruett <entelin@logicaldreams.net>

Hello List, I've searched the internet and I haven't been able to figure this out. I hope someone here can point me in the right direction. I have a MacOSX 10.3 machine and a WinXP machine that are being used to produce large video clips (@1gig). After they are rendered and ready for playback, they are copied to the playout machines using a system that uses watch folders shared out over

I've downloaded Samba 2.2.6 (binaries) from SCOs Skunkware site, but when I try and run smbclient I get a message : dynamic linker : smbclient : error opening /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so.4 Killed I've checked and there is no libncurses.so.4 (or libncurses.<anything> for that matter) on the system. I've also failed to find anything relevant in either the list archive or SCOs

Hi all! I'm looking for a method of doing the following, given that I'm taking care of a network with a Samba 3.0.6 box (running Mandrake 10.0) acting as a PDC for about 15 W2K boxes: . There is a share full of program files and data files on the Samba box . These files are currently synchronized at logon - all movement is from the server to the clients via a logon script using XCOPY /D

I'm not quite sure whether this is a plain browsing problem, or a wins problems, or ... I had wins running on one machine (Samba(2.0.5a)/SCO Unix), but my main file server on another (Samba (2.2.1a)/Linux). I moved the wins support to the Linux server, and at the same time I made the Linux server the Domain Master Browser, but now some devices have dissapeared from the network. The devices

Hi, I'm installing a VPN bridge. So the localareas are on the same IP class and we have broadcast And i want on both ends to have a Samba Server what do you recomend??? I'm Using mobile profiles so its better on each end we have its on profile

Is there maybe a way to consolidate (At the developer level) all of the tools and methods into one concise list. samba is not really tightly integrated with the OS, Is there maybe a way to re-organise the way samba works? maybe to make it completely emulate the way it works on the windows command line? for example make everything integrated into the net command..... net use (file system

We _cannot_ go about renaming files, for a number of reasons.. the primary being some of the files are technically not ours to alter without a clients permission (names and all) and you don't understand just how many files there are. There are quite probably thousands of files, spread across _hundreds_ of cds and dvds which comes to a total of roughly 400GB. As to a Mac server, i'm not

We are currently trying to access an IBM AS/400 (iSeries) system with a Mac system running OS X. We have setup a share drive thru the AS/400's NetServer. We have successfully connected to the shared drive but all characters in are not legible. Looks like the code page is not set correctly, also when we click on an object it disappears from the screen. Is there additional configurations steps
