similar to: Printer Properties Don't Work After Update

Hi, I am trying to set up a Win98 PC to print to a server running Samba 2.2.3a. The server has print drivers installed via cupsaddsmb, which is just a wrapper around the rpcclient addprinter/adddriver/setdriver functions. Calls to rpcclient's geprinter and getdriver functions return valid data. When I go to install the printer on the Windows 98 client, however, things start out OK but soon

Hey All, just a quick question about printer upload/download stuff that's been confusing the hell out of me for a couple days... This might be a Samba, or a CUPS problem, so i've posted this on both newsgroups, but if anyone's had a similar problem I'd really appreciate any help! I'm running Samba 2.2.7 and CUPS 1.1.17 on a RedHat 7.3 System.. I'm trying to get the

Hi, Having a weird problem here. We've got Sambe 3.0.14a and cups 1.1.23 on a Debian system. I've run: cupsaddsmb -U RALPH\\jgoerzen -a -v Where RALPH is our PDC (and it also the machine I'm running this command on). The entire command *appears* to work, but: * None of the tdb files in /var/lib/samba, including ntforms.tdb, ntprinters.tdb, etc. have their date stamp updated.

Hi I've got some problems with the download of Adobe PostScript printer drivers on a Windows 98 client : On the server side (Red Hat 9 / Samba 3.0.1 / 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 : ...../W32X86/2 : cupsdrvr.dll cups.hlp

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I have a problem adding printer drivers for automatic downloading via samba for windows 2000 clients. Under cups I added my printer and copied the Adobe postscript driver files like mentioned in printer_driver2.html. And when I finally commit: cupsaddsmb -v -U root normal (normal is the name of the printer) And here is the output:

Hi, I am playing around with automatic printer driver download to Windows 2000 clients from Samba 2.2.8a-1 which doesn't seem to work. Whenever I right-click on the printer and say "connect", it displays: The server on which the printer resides does not have the correct printer driver installed..... Here is my smb.conf file: [Global] workgroup = DEBIAN_FANS load printers = yes

I'm trying to change my Samba setup from LPD to CUPS, with little success. I've followed [and re-followed] the setup documentation from CUPS and I just can't get Samba to recognize my printer. The catch is - it sort of recognizes it :-( First I added these lines to my smb.conf: ========================================= [global] load printers = yes printing = cups printcap name =

Hi all, I'm having a few problems getting samba to pass along settings for various print options for all of our printers. Printers are set up using PPDs in CUPS, added to samba via the cupsaddsmb command and then added to windows clients via point and print. Unfortunately any print jobs sent from windows appear to completely ignore many of the CUPS settings such as duplex and print

I have Samba 2.2.6 complied against Cups 1.1.16 on a Sparc system running Solaris 9. Cups has replaced the stock system V lp spooler on this system (original packages removed.) Cups working from UNIX command line is A-OK. I have been working on setting up Samba to play nice with cups. I have followed the instructions from both the Cups and Samba websites to set up downloading of the

Hello all, I am running a Debian testing/unstable system with samba 2.2.3a-6 and cupsys 1.1.15-4 as a member server in a samba domain. I have used CUPS to add a networked HP8100N printer and it works fine locally, but I'm having difficulty adding it to samba for Win98 domain clients to use. I ran cupsaddsmb to add the printer and drivers to samba, but it cannot find the PPD file... where is

Hi, samba 2.2.8a freshly compiled cups 1.1.19final-1 (debian) while using cupsaddsmb, all runs well until adddriver, when rpcclient returns a cryptic NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_DEVICE. I've followed the SambaPrintHowto 3.0 from 7.11.6.1 to 7.11.6.6, and it fails on the latest as well. Here is some more information. ===8<=== cupsaddsmb -a -v Running command: smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N

I have tried everything I could possibly think of to get printer driver download working with Samba 2.2.3a-6 and CUPS 1.1.15-4 (latest Debian unstable packages). I am wondering if anyone else has go this to work at all (with newer versions of samba or cups?) -- if so please let me know to give me some hope. Or else I am thinking this is officially 'broken'. CUPS is working perfectly

I can't even get cupsaddsmb to work right. I followed the configuration instructions from the documentation, and my smb.conf matches what the cupsaddsmb man page says. I am getting extremely frustrated with this and not being able to allow clients to download drivers from Samba. With cupsaddsmb, this is the error I am receiving when it gets to this point, over and over: Running command:

Hi, we have a samba printserver 2.2.7 with cups 1.1.16 with about 15 HP Printers. The samba server runs under Solaris 2.8 and is a member of a NT4 controlled domain. Because of some problems setting the document defaults, I tried cupsaddsmb with the Adobe PS driver. The installation of the driver works fine, but some document defaults (eg. download as softfont instead of substitute with

hi list, We got the following problem: We try to use samba 2.2.5 as a printserver for windoze clients (samba 2.2.5 on RH linux 8 w/ CUPS 1.1.15). CUPS works w/o any problems, but when we try to generate the drivers for the windoze clients (by using cupsaddsmb), we get the following error: >> cli_pipe: return critical error. Error was SUCCESS - 0 result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

Hi, I have a linux box on RH7.3 with samba 2.2.5-1 and cups-1.1.14-15. I create a cups printer on to this machine with success, It called lptest? and apparently, when I send a page test it works fine. But now I want to share It via Samba then I putted the different setting in smb.conf . I extracted the different files from the ADOBE POSTSCRIPT DRIVER and I put them in /usr/share/cups/drivers .
