We have been using CUPS to handle printing and have run into some "features" some of which a fresh install of the responsible server will probably fix. However there are some disparities between the documentation and our practical experience for which a clear statement would help others. The docs state when using CUPS the relevent lines of SMB.CONF should look like this: printing=cups

Ok... here we go, I have a server running RH 7.3, samba 2.2.3a, and CUPS 1.1.14. All the printers we have are networked printers sitting off of Linksys printservers. On this server I am sharing all off our printers out via Samba. See my smb.conf file below. This server works perfectly. All printers are shared out successfully. Primary CUPS server: [global] workgroup = NEW

I am trying to get some printer shares to be anonymous access. I have set guest ok = yes but from the log file, it looks like if a username is passed, and a failed lookup, it wont just default to annonymous. Is there another setting or configuration that I need to add to get it to work? LOG FILE: [2003/05/12 16:13:52, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:pdb_getsampwnam(939) LDAP search

I'm trying to setup a print share with samba-2.2.4 that 9x and 2k clients should be able to print to. Below is my current setup listing only printer related options. My first concern right now is that I have cups running with the pdfdistiller script to format print jobs into pdf documents. I'm not using a real printer for this. I need samba to display the cups printer called PDF_Printer so

Hi all, I have been receiving the error "tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRinvnetname (Invalid network name in tree connect.)" for a while and I finally fixed it, but I have some questions about why it was happening. Firstly, it is Samba 2.0.7 running on Mandrake 8.0. My smb.conf file is at the end of this message. The machine's name is pinhead and in checking log.pinhead, I

Hello, dear colleagues using SAMBA. Who could possibly tell me what I am missing in order to make my SAMBA printer share visible on the windows network( i.e., accessing it from a MS Windows machine's explorer, for example )? It is SAMBA 3.0.23 on Linux 2.4.33 machine(originally RedHat 7.3. based, but so much upgraded, even to GLIBC-2.3.6). here are the linked libraries:

Hi, I'm running Samba printing services to share a printer on my Linux box with a network of windows machines. Everything works great. The only problem I am having is that I cannot count the number of pages printed by each user. My printers section looks like this: [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = no guest ok = no path = /var/spool/samba printable = yes public

I'm very new to Linux and Samba so bear with me - I am migrating our business to a Linux/Samba network from an NT network - using Samba as a PDC. We are running RH7.3, Samba v2.2.7a, and CUPS v1.1.14 I have a test network set-up which includes the Linux/Samba PDC server, a Win2000 client and a HP Jetdirect network printer (Laserjet 4Si) Domain logons and filesharing works fine, but I

Hello Everyone! I've spent quite a bit trying to get these shares to work just right. I'll past the output of my smb.conf at the end of this message. If anyone has any advice on this, that would be great. My first problem is that I'm trying to sync up my /etc/passwd with the /etc/samba/smbpasswd file.

We have a samba 2.2.3a-12.3 for Debian running, and something odd in printing. We use CUPs as linux print server. When we print from a w2k station, prints come out the printer, but the printer window reports a cycle of messages: - initializing printer - opening printer - failed to open, retrying what can be the cause? parts of the smb.conf: ============== [global] printcap

Hi all I have a Samba 2.2.2-3.2mdk build running on 8.1 Mandrake. All the Win9x clients work fine.

Hi all, I have been using Samba 3.0.2a-1 on Debian for a while now, no problems. I upgraded to 3.0.4-5 and now I can't see any printers as shares.
