Hi all, I am about to install a Samba server at a local school, and i need some advice and/or experience from others who have worked on a installation of that type/size. My plan is to roll-out a Samba server (of course), with LDAP back-end, and a number of printer queue's via CUPS. There will be aprox. 1000 user accounts, mostly students. The school has asked for a solution that would

Hi there, I'm newbie in Samba, so I beg for your excuse if my questions are stupid. Is it possible to use Samba as a "paid-for-print" server? If U know something about another free "paid-for-print" software, please let me know. 10x in advance, -- Julian

Howdy, I'm looking for a piece of software I can use for accounting printers shared on a Linux box via Samba, to Win98/2K/XP machines on a domain. In other words, I want to be able to give user a print quota (say, $3.00), then charge them 10c per page they print from a Windows client to a printer shared from a Linux box running Samba. If they're out of quota, it doesn't print

Hi, I am running CUPS-1.1.19 and Samba-2.2.8a on Debian 3.0 to serve both Windows and Unix clients. Has anyone got print quotas for Cups working? When I set quota using lpadmin, it does not limit the pages to be printed, in other words doesn't do anything. Any help is highly appreciated. Shanti

Hi, Sorry for cross-posting, but this seems to be an interdiciplinary issue. I would like our users to get a popup notification of the completion / failure of their jobs. I think that best way to implement this would be from CUPS, but I don't know how to generate the required information for SAMBA to send the message to the client. Any pointers welcome Thanks Gil

I have set up a samba server which i also want to use as printserver using cups. I have configured a samsung printer using cups and am also sharing it via samba by having the printer share in smb.conf file. Now the problem is that when i configure this printer on the windows machine and then send job to this server machine the page_log file is not being updated. Hence i m losing on the printer

Hi all! I have a samba print server which stores information about each job. To accomplish this, I have set 'printing = sysv' so I can use print command. Print command passes to a script some info including '%c' (page_count). The problem is that if someone sends more than one copy of the document, %c doesn't tell me so. It means that %c tells exactly the number of pages sent

Everyone, I am currently using a vsifax program (pcltotiff) to convert pcl files to tiff files on a SCO Unix box, and then I am using tiff2pdf on a Centos 5.9 box to convert the file to a pdf. There are other commands that deal with multiple page tiff's and pdf's that are part of the process, but the above basic process has worked very well. The only thing I would like to enhance is a

Sorry, if this has been dealt with before, but I couldn't find it. I tried installing openldap 2.2 + samba 3. Currently I only have one install of openldap 2.0 and samba 2.2 running. Now, it all looks quite good, but the smbldap-tools do not add the necessary structuralobjectClass entries, so using the tools fails. I was able to manually change the first populate - which could be exported

Hi, I'm working on a minimal print server setup for Windows 10/11 x64 clients. No domain, no Kerberos, no LDAP, only a few local users on a standalone server with some shared CUPS printers. Printing works well. After setting 'spoolss: os_major = 6' and 'spoolss: os_minor = 1' The *Kyocera KX Universal Driver* has uploaded well. But, that's all. No success uploading

Hello, I am having a problem when printing pdf files as viewed from firefox/acroread to a samba print share. When I print from firefox, I get PJL output.

Hi everybody! I've got a problem with downloading printerdrivers from my win2k box. Successfully added printer with cupsaddsmb-tool (as root, after failing as printer admin!!?!?!). The W32X86 and WIN40 directories have been created as they should and also did the PPD files. But if I connect to the printer from Win (as printer admin) I get the message that no driver could be found. RPCclient

I've got a Brother HL-L2360D series printer connected to Centos 7. CUPS lists it as Generic PCL6/PCL Printer - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 . When I tell it to print a pdf file, it prints at most the first page. After powering the thing off and turning it on again, it printed page 3 of pages 3-6 . On trying it again, the thing claimed it was receiving data and printed page 3 of pages 3-6 again.
