similar to: Weird problems with printing

We're using Cups and Samba with Adobe Postscript Drivers to print from XP SP2 machines via our Solaris and Linux Domain Controllers. Everything has been working OK, but when I setup an a new printer (identical ppd file to another one), it doesn't download the drivers on XP when I add the printer. This is happening on two domain controllers in different offices. It gives the error when

We have a Sun E450 running Solaris 8 and Samba 2.2.8a as our domain controller. We have had no problems with Samba until earlier this week when we have started to get lots of these errors in log.smbd: [2003/08/08 16:29:14, 0] lib/debug.c:(348) Unable to open new log file /home/samba_pearl/var/log.smbd: Too many open file s This has been happening once a day, at the same time some users are not

Upgraded our Solaris 8 and 9 servers from 3.0.2a to 3.0.3. After upgrading any user that was in more than 16 Unix groups wasn't able to map any drives. I get this error in the log file: [2004/05/04 12:23:30, 0] auth/auth_util.c:get_user_groups(695) get_user_groups: failed to get the unix group list [2004/05/04 12:23:30, 0] auth/auth_sam.c:check_sam_security(260) check_sam_security:

We have a Windows 2003 server that is a member of a Samba 2.2.8a domain. We can browse to this Samba server through "My Network Places" and map a drive to a share on this server. We also have a number of Samba 3.0.1 servers (running Solaris 8 and Red Hat 7.0). These are member servers of the Samba 2.2.8a domain. Using "My Network Places" on the Windows 2003 server, double

We've got a Windows 2003 server which won't join our Samba domain, it just sits their forever after I give the root password to join. It doesn't give an \ error message or "Welcome to domainxyz" message. It also won't join a workgroup, which is strange. Has anyone else seen this problem? No problems with XPSP2 clients. Not got 2003 SP1 on yet, might try that next.

Just setup a new domain controller running Samba-3.0.20b. Using smbpasswd file (no LDAP). How do I setup a group of users so they become domain administrators? I thought I just typed this: % net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmin I am in group unix ntadmin, but I'm it doesn't seem to work. Michael -- Michael Keightley

Hello, i have problems getting the automatic driver installation for windows clients running. i am using cupsaddsmb, it creates the WIN40 Directory and tells me its putting files - but the Directory remains empty - and thats, so i guess, the reason for the rpccleint command failing (DOS error 0x00000042 smth.) what am i doing wrong? regards sven wandersleb transcript of cupsaddsmb and

Hello, I am using cups-1.1.19final-1.deb and samba-2.2.3a. When I was working with cups-1.1.15 before, cupsaddsmb worked fine, but now with cups-1.1.19 it gives me: Running command: smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N -U'root%secret?' -c 'mkdir WIN40;put /var/spool/cups/tmp/3eef829eea1b8 WIN40/ps948esb.PPD;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/ADFONTS.MFM WIN40/ADFONTS.MFM;put

hi, my boxes: RH 8.0 with samba2.2.6-2 and cups 1.1.15-10 samba runs ok and cups runs ok.I putted Adobe Postscript Printer in /usr/share/cups/drivers. And when I want to export my Cups Printer with cupsaddsmb, this what it happens: [root@bouffon sbin]# cupsaddsmb -H bouffon -U DOMAINNAME\\root -h bouffon -v infolpPassword for DOMAINNAME\root required to access bouffon via SAMBA: Running

Hi I have installed samba-2.2.7a and cups-1.1.18. After reading all the documentation samba provides as well as the cups administrators guide I am still stuck. I have added the printers just the way the samba and cups documentation says. Anyway here is my output from cupsaddsmb, It fails on the last step, so i have run that manually again afterwards with debugging enabled. I believe this to be

Hello all, I'm having a password problem with Cupsaddsmb... I was wondering if anyone knew what this meant... I have 2 printers, "Boris" and "Mutt" I get the following when I run cupsaddsmb -v -a mkdir W32X86 put /var/spool/cups/tmp/3c0b9dc42ea72 W32X86/Boris.PPD put /usr/share/cups/drivers/ADOBEPS5.DLL W32X86/ADOBEPS5.DLL put /usr/share/cups/drivers/ADOBEPSU.DLL

Hi, printer driver download with W2000/Xp (samba-2.2.7 and cups-1.1.18) and the Adobe PS Driver works fine for our location. But when I try to download a driver with W9X the driver installation widzard starts. Samba logs the following messages... (Cant determine number of printer driver files...) (see second apandix) The installation of the driver works with no error. (see first apendix) Has

Samba version 2.2.3a doesn't seem to work with the "cupsaddsmb" program available in CUPS... cupsaddsmb merely runs a few rpcclient commands. The verbose output from cupsaddsmb is printed below. This output is from cups version 1.1.14, but I received the same error from version 1.1.12. On 2 different computers - both clean installs. When run on Samba version 2.2.2, the command

Hi, I have tried to use cups and samba together. Everything works great, however I am not able to configure and/or setup samba correctly, that the clients are able to install the driver. To test everything I used a dedicated system installed a fresh SuSE 8.0 and compiled samba (2.2.4) and cups (1.1.14). I only userd a differnet prefix for samba. Everything else is default.

Hello I've got some problems downloading Adobe PostScript printer drivers on a Windows 98 client : On the server side (Red Hat 9 / Samba 3.0.2 / Cups 1.1.17) : I installed succesfully my printers with Cups and they work fine on Linux I ran cupsaddsmb tool to copy the Adobe files in the [print$] directory which gives this result : in /etc/samba/W32X86/2 : cupsdrvr.dll cups.hlp

Have just upgraded from 3.0.13 to 3.0.20 on our Solaris domain controller. Machine is also print server running CUPS-1.1.23. We have a RICOH network printer that we print to via Samba (the printer seems to have a builtin Windows PC). smbspool is linked to /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb and the appropriate DeviceURI is in /etc/cups/printers.conf. This works fine with 3.0.13, but with 3.0.20 I get this

Hi Kurt, I tried to explain my problem to you at Göttingen but it looks like I'm the only one who gets this error. I've just reinstalled my box with SuSE 8.2, kernel 2.4.20-62, samba 2.2.8a, and cups 1.1.18, moved all config files, databases, scripts and jobs to it and it looks like samba has become even better and faster. No one noticed anything wrong except I just can't come to

Case strange... I've past probably 30 hours by now on this, crawling the web, and doing attempts. I managed to make cupsaddsmb run without producing an error, but it fails. Ask me for anything, full trace, versions and so on, but please, if someone has an idea, share it. ============================================ Linux Debian Woody unstable Cups 1.1.19final-1 Samba 2.2.3a-14

Hi, I am attempting to configure our samba server for print driver download. The server itself was installed from RedHat 7.3 and has been configured to used cups instead of lpd/lprng. After studying the documentation on cups/samba, I decided to try the Adobe driver install. I used the cupsaddsmb program to perform the driver install, which works fine except for the "rpcclient
