Hi all, we've been moving an old Samba 2.2.x PDC install to a Samba 3.0.28 PDC install. We copied the ntdrivers.tdb and ntprinters.tdb from to old to the new server. After the migration, everything was just fine, except printing seemed to be somewhat slower. As more and more user logged on, the machine got really sluggish and printing took quite long. We figured out we've got bitten

Hi, After using the client driver for a long time, I want to give a try to the drivers installed on Samba server. I am using the how-to at http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html It goes fine up to "installing drivers into [print$] using APW". I can see a list of drivers files growing into W32X86. But when I try to access the properties of a

I just finished debugging a Samba installation with Windows XP, and thought I'd share some findings. Thanks to MS screwing up our perfectly stable Windows 2000 network with the release of SP4 (which our security people demanded we install to stay current), we decided to upgrade to Windows XP Pro SP1 on the 8 computer lab windows machines.

Hello All -- We are trying to consolidate our printer management from a series of NT print servers to a series of Samba ones, in a global network with ten offices and about 150 printers. All printing is PostScript and goes to HP and Canon printers over lpd through custom 'if' filters which do accounting. To help this we're trying to automate the printer and driver registration

Hi Folks, I'm part of a Novell department that is working on moving from Novell NDPS printing to Samba printing. I have been told that the Samba environment will have to be clustered to assure the same level of redundancy for printing. Does anyone have any pointers? Whether actual experience in this or a location of good documentation of the clustering process? Thanks for

Hokay. It appears that enumdrivers / getdriver in rpcclient is broken, and won't be fixed soon. I'd fix it meself, but hey, I'm too busy clearing skyscrapers in a single bound and moving faster than a speeding bullet. Or maybe I looked at the cvs once and got REALLY scared. Unfortunately, I can't wait, so I've come up with a nasty hack to help us with querying samba for the
