Hi all, Samba 3.0.7 and using CUPS printing. I am logged in as root to an XP Pro system, I have used the APW to install the XP drivers to all of my printers. I went to Shared and clicked "Additional Drivers" and checkmarked both 9x and NT/2K boxes. Using drivers straight from the HP website, the 9x driver installs fine, but it seems like I can't get any NT/2K drivers to

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

Hi, we have a samba printserver 2.2.7 with cups 1.1.16 with about 15 HP Printers. The samba server runs under Solaris 2.8 and is a member of a NT4 controlled domain. Because of some problems setting the document defaults, I tried cupsaddsmb with the Adobe PS driver. The installation of the driver works fine, but some document defaults (eg. download as softfont instead of substitute with

I read a message from the archives that describes nearly our exact problem that has begun to appear after 11i was installed on our server. File access has become slow and unreliable, especially under high loads. As a matter of fact, I had a logon script running a series of echo -- it was executing them at about 1 line every 2 seconds. The way we "solved" the problem was moving the Samba

Hello I've just updated to Samba version 3.0.22 (previously v3.0.4a) and get the following problem: rpcclient enumdrivers fails with WERR_UNKNOWN_PRINTER_DRIVER while rpcclient getdriver works just fine!

Hiya, Can someone explain why I am seeing chmod of W32X86/3/PSCRIPT5.DLL failed (Operation not permitted) in the log files.

I am having quite some difficulty adding printer drivers to the print$ share of my Linux box. Here are the details: Debian Gnu/Linux with kernel 2.4.18 on a Sun Ultra 2. Samba version 2.2.3a. CUPS version 1.1.19. I am following along in the printer_driver2.txt file. Here are the relevant lines of my smb.conf: [global] username map = /etc/samba/user.map workgroup = CDE server string = %h

I have a client with an older server that is running into a weird file locking problem. The server is running FC2, samba 3.0.7 and kernel 2.6.10. They have recently installed AutoDesk Revit, which is apparently some sort of collaborative design software. Revit keeps a central repository and then allows different clients to access it. What is happening is that only the person who created the

Hello, I'm running Samba 3.6.6-1 on my x64 Arch Linux installation. I recently decided to have my samba share support NTFS's Alternate Data Streams by using streams_xattr or streams_depot. With streams_xattr I discovered that if I copy a file having an ADS from a win7 box, on the linux console, I can see the ADS as an xattr attached to the file. However when I copy the file back to my

Hi Samba gurus, I need your help for the problem of denying the change of the print driver settings on samba. I have no any clue of this problem. Thanks for any comments and tips. Our institution has a windows 2000 active directory domain; I joined my test samba 2.2.6 on a Linux box into domain as the file/print member server. All the file sharing worked fine, but when I tried to upload

Windows 98 client cannot print via samba to PrintPro printer "exported" via Cups/PrintPro on PrintPro/Samba server.

Hi, I'm trying to "install" the printer drivers of my HP Inkjet 3000 PS Printer on a linux running samba and lprng. So far configuration of samba seems correct (working print$ and so on), but the adddriver command issued cia rpcclient terminates with NT_STATUS_UNSUCEDDFULL. So far my search in the web was unsucessful. I think I have correctly traced the problem via the samba

Has anyone had any success installing windows printer drivers onto a leopard-hosted print$ share? If I use the Add Printer Wizard method, if copies the driver files to \ \SERVER\print$\W32X86 then fails with an "Operation cannot be completed." If I use the rpcclient method I get a WERR_INVALID_PARAM error. Using the Adobe Generic PostScript driver as an example.

Hi, I am trying to prepare downloadable printer drivers for Windows-Clients with Samba 3.0.0-final. Everything worked fine so far. But I found no way to add the printer driver files to the samba database. The method using the Add Printer Wizard in W2k did not work for me. This is what I tried: linux4:/# rpcclient -U'root%secret' -c 'adddriver "Windows NT x86"

I am having some trouble with Samba. It was working fine on an old server with 3.0.21. Now I have updated to 3.0.28 (via 3.0.25) and a bigger fatter faster server. There are two problems. Firstly the new server seems slower than the old one, and some users are experiencing intermittent data loss via MS apps such as Word or Excell crashing. The system runs on Arch Linux, with a slightly
