similar to: Nb of copies don't appear in page_log file

The Adobe drivers (on request of the printer PPD associated with them) often put a PJL header in front of the main PostScript part of the print file. Thus, the printfile starts with <1B >%-12345X or <escape>%-12345X instead of %!PS). This leads to the CUPS daemon auto-typing the incoming file as a print-ready file, not initiating a pass through the pstops filter (to speak more

Sol 2.8, Samba 2.2.5 I have an hp1220c printer setup on port 2 of a 3 port hp 500x print server. There is also a hp6mp printer on port 1. I've added the hp6mp printer to my client without problems.

I had been running Samba to share my HP printer among my Windows XP clients. When I upgraded to 3.0.4, I can no longer print. When I start the print job in Windows XP, the printer lights blinks for a few seconds, and then stops. No pages come out. The print job is shown as complete in the CUPS web intrface. Printing from the Linux box works just fine. I read the Samba pages concerning

I've about run out of ideas and need some help. I have an HP OfficeJet 7110 installed on my Fedora Core 3 box. From Linux, it prints perfectly, the Test Page works, I can print from Mozilla/Thunderbird/Firefox, KDE applications, and even Emacs, all without any issues whatsoever. The problem is I can't seem to get it to work when I share the printer to Windows. I've shared it to

The Highlights: -CentOS 4.4 & CUPS -HPLIP Installed -Running as server, no GUI. -Can print from command-line no problem. -Printing from Windows XP via Samba puts job in the correct queue, job is processed but not parsed or rendered. The job is removed from the queue, but never prints. (I've RTFM and google'd it, no avail...) Help?? When printing from commandline (eg. cat file

I've been running RedHat 5.0 and Samba flawlessly for over 6 months now. I had to reboot the server and now I can't seem to print. When I use the "Printtool" to send a test text or postscript job to the printer, I get the following error: Unable to print to HP4000 Error Message: lpr: connect: no such file or directory jobs queued, but cannot start daemon The printer is set up

Hi I've recently upgraded to 3.0.2 from 2.2.8 on Redhat 9. We have 2 Linux servers and a number of windows XP machines. The primary domain controller has a printer which is shared and to which all the computers have access. Since upgrading, the other Linux server cannot print to shared printers on the primary linux controller or on windows machines and cannot install new shared printers from

Hi there I just upgraded from 3.0.23d to 3.0.25b. The server acts as PDC and print server. The setup is that Win clients automtically download the printers from samba. Worked all right so far. Here is what I did. Compiled the new version and installed it. Stopped smbd and nmbd and copied everything under /old-samba/var/ to /new-samba/var/ "smb.conf" stayed the same. Fired up the

Hi all... I need some docs about how to intergrate cups with samba... I have install samba 3.2.5 and cups 1.3.8 on Debian Lenny system. I have install a printer ( Ricoh Aficio 3245C PS ) and have work fine... But when I follow the job on /var/log/cups/page_log, I always see that number of copies is 1, doesn't matter if the jobs has 5 or 10 pages... It's always show 1 on page_log... I

Well, I have a strange one again. Using samba version 2.2.5 and cups version 1.1.15. We have 2 printers over the network, both TCP/IP-based Jetdirect printers. on is on x.x.x.32, the other on x.x.x.38. I can print to the laserjet on IP 32 all day long. However, both on Windows clients, print jobs are not even seen in the que (either windows print que or CUPS web interface). When I try to

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Im currently running some tests for a samba/CUPS based print server. The print server is a member of an NT domain and uses winbind to import NT domain users. Users accessing the print server will be not from the same domain but from trusted domains. Everything basically seems to work, once you use sufficiently new versions of cups and samba. (I'm on Debian

Hello...again...Y'all are getting sick of me, aren't ya? ;) Anyway, I am having quite the dilemna about printing. I'm using samba 2.2.7a aong with cups-1.1.5.

Greetings Admins, We use samba 3.0.7 with cups 1.1.20 to serve printing to XP clients. samba and cups originally sat on the same debian machine. Due to load issues, we've moved cups to a separate debian machine and added the 'cups server =' directive to smb.conf. After this, the XP client IP is no longer listed in cups page_log, the samba server IP is listed instead. We need

Trying to get one Samba server to serve several printers through CUPS and host a virtual PDF "printer" at the same time. I've gotten them working separately, but not together, and I think I know why. In the smb.conf man page under "print command": "With printing = cups, and if SAMBA is compiled against libcups, any manually set print command will be ignored."
