I have a Red Hat 9 Linux box running Samba version:2.2.7a-8.9.0-security-rollup-fix and Hylafax acting as a fax server. I print from my Windows XP machine to the Samba shared printer hoping the file name would be passed to Hylafax to use as the outbound phone number but Samba is submitting the job to Hylafax with a job name like: smbprn.000117.JrVPBv Hylafax can't process the job since

Hello list, i use now Samba 3.0.2 as PDC with LDAP backend on suse sles8. With the other versions of Samba3 I hade the same problems with the lpq command. I use CUPS printing system with raw options. The clientdrivers are installed on serverside. my smb.conf in the global part printing = cups print command = lpr -r -oraw -P%p %s lpq command = lpq -P'%p'

hello everybody, I have come to a dead end. I have successfully configured cups and samba to print from windows with automated drivers download. It works perfectly, but for one little problem, most of the printing here in my company are reports printed by the ERP software, which has been developed by ouserlves some 12 years ago in (oohh sucks) Visual basic 3. The problem is: Every single

I just thought that I would put this out there and see if anyone else sees this problem with Samba 1.9.18p4 (under Solaris 2.6). It appears that after some reboots of Solaris, Samba printing is partly dead. What I see in the logs are below, and what happens is that the file to be printed is spooled to /var/spool/samba, like always, but when the lpr command is issued it croaks. I've been

I'm tinkering with this mod to my smb.conf, and can't get the actual filename to be displayed in the printed job history. It's adapted from one Joel put out on the list last year. My impression is that it works for everyone in the world but me.... All that ever shows up is smbprn.yada.yada... in the printer's history of printed jobs. print command = echo %J %p %s >>

Greetings, all: I'm having trouble working out a printing problem between my Samba box, and my Windows 2000 client. Here's the background: Network: Home network with a Slackware 8 box running Samba, 1 Windows 2000 client, 1 Windows 98 client, and a LEAF Project firewall providing Internet access. The Samba server should only be available to local clients. Systems: Slackware box:

Gentoo Linux, recently updated (emerge --sync ; emerge -u --deep world). kernel 2.4.26. Samba 3.0.10. lprng 3.8.27. When I print a test page from WinXP-Home, it appears to accept it. However, it doesn't create a spool file and then when samba runs my lpr command, it gets an error (33). I've changed the print command to lpr -P%p %s in order to have the spool file, but it isn't

Hi list, I have troubles with printing on a HP Deskjet 1220C (connected on network through jet direct device). I have a print server, which use LPRng and allow clients to print on this 1220c printer as well as laserjet printers. If client is Linux, I can print on all printers. So I guess my LPRng config is good. Another server runs Samba 3. This server's printcap redirect jobs to my

Hello, we've updated to 3.6.1 yesterday, and since encounter problems with printing for some users. There's a descriptive error in the log.smbd, but I can't see what to do about it really (the rest of the, admittedly fairly ancient system, is the same base system as the previous 3.5.5 - only a couple of security updates were patched in during downtime). The message in log.smbd is:

Hi, after an update from 3.0.4 to 3.0.7 Samba does not longer honor the "print command" parameter. I use the parameter to implement a pdf-printer.

Hi there Brian! I've seen your email on one of the samba mailing list. This has been my problem for a long time. I just want to share this problem directly to you and i hope you can lend me your help. I'm trying to setup windows printer sharing using SAMBA installed on my Linux box (Redhat 7.3 as printer server) and windows 2000 pro as my client. My win2k clients are connected to a

Hello all, I have been trying set up a linux box as a print server for our mixed windows network. It has samba working - everybody can see it & a shared directory. I installed cups & that too seems to be fine - printing test pages from the web interface works perfectly. But i can't get them to talk. I think this is mostly as i can't find a decent howto & so am poking

Hi, I successfully setup printing on my FreeBSD box using Samba with apsfilter and lprng. However, I have encountered two issues: 1) Cannot print multiple copies of documents from my windows box (e.g. notepad). Only the first copy is printed and the rest don't get printed. 2) My spool directory is getting filled up and I would like the job removed after the print job is finished I've

Hello all, Is there any way to stuff a more descriptive tag into a print job name? The jobs we're printing now are of the type: smbprn.003447.sdfasa I seem to remember a way to put the sending machine's name into the job name. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -adam University of Denver

Hi I am currently using Samba 3.0.11 and Cups 1.1.23 with Windows PostScript drivers and manufacturer PPDs on WinXP clients. When I print multiples copies of a document from a Windows XP box, the number of copies appearing in the Cups "page_log" file always takes the "1" value but the printer prints the correct number of copies. When I do the same on Linux (with the lpr
