Gustavo Courault <courault@gigared.com> has solved this for me with the following advice and I have enclosed my smb.conf file in case it may help anyone, I'm running Samba-2.2.2 and CUPS printing to a Epson-777 injet via a Edimax $40 printserver attached to the back of the printer with a static IP address assigned to the printer. My OS is RedHat-6.2 <quote> I uncomment the line

Hello Family, My RedHat-7.2 box prints perfectly to an Epson777 color injet printer which I gave an IP address via a mini printserver attached to the back of the printer. I have a Windows2000 computer hooking into the same RedHat-7.2 box via Samba-2.2.2 fine. I have not been able to get my Windows2000 box to print to the Epson777 color injet via Samba. [question] Since Linux already

Hello Family, In attempting to print from Win2000 to RedHat-6.2 Linux (Samba-2.2.2) using CUPS I received the following errors from /var/log/cups/error_log I [28/Dec/2001:19:20:40 +0800] Listening to 0:631 I [28/Dec/2001:19:20:40 +0800] Configured for up to 100 clients.

Hello Family, In yesterday's head thumper I had to attempt to (remotely) grab some wedding photo's for my wife from my Win2000 machine to Solaris-8 running Samba-2.2.2 The examples show the following; smbtar -s dumbo -t /dev/st0 -x windows That assumes your backing up a directory, the directory is on your (windows) C:\WINDOWS I just needed a few jpg's from another drive on my

Hello Family, [day 2.5] Well, thanks to "Gerald (Jerry) Carter" there has been progress in attempting to print from my Windows2000 machine to my Linux machine running 2.2.2 to an Epson777 inkjet printer on the LAN with a mini print-server on the back of it. I've now got no more RED "access denied" warnings in my Win2k printer setup screen, there is a GREEN "Status:

Hello Family, (smd.conf file attached) Having had great success with 2.2.2 and my Linux box and Windows-2000 machines I switched to CUPS and now can't print again having made some slight edits in my smb.conf file (attached) for the change to CUPS. [1] I have to reloaded all the Windows drivers again on the Windows-2000 machines and still get the "Startdoc..." error. [2] The

Hello Family, I had encounted that as "user" I couldn't change my own passwd with "smbpasswd" and noticed the permission differences between smbpasswd and passwd. This is Samba-2.2.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 782415 Dec 28 03:14 /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -r-s--x--x 1 root root 12244 Feb 7 2000 /usr/bin/passwd Is there a reason why the

I don't have a solution, but I do want to keep this thread alive until we get it resolved. I'm in the same situation. I can print fine, but it says that annoying message. Do you guys print to an LPD unix queue? My linux print server is sending the job to a LPD linux box that is connected to the printer local. (Our printer support requires it that way). Has anyone been able to

Hello Family, It took my wife calling me at work to ask for some copies of our wedding pictures (trapped on Windows machine) that are next to the Solaris-8 machine I'm typing this on. Well I said, let me look for "smbmount" and I don't have it compiled on this system so I was going to recompile and saw this: --with-smbmount Include SMBMOUNT (Linux only) support (default=no)

Hello Family, Our sysadmin at work demands that no one have any Samba projects other than the single one on our network due to the "NOISE" that is emitted by Samba. [question] Can I still use the current 2.2.2 with my little test setup and not fall prey to the order to "cease and desist" Samba ? It's one Solaris-8(Intel) and Win2000 and Win98, three total machines. --

Hello Family, I'm having a hell of a time just trying to "see" the shared printer on a Win-XP(pro) box here at home. All my other Windows boxes can not only see it but print to it, my Unix family (all of the relatives) of machines are having no luck. I apologize if this is something simple for Samba has evolved so much that one barely needs to do anything to get stuff working for

Hello Family, (smb.conf file attached) Well I was here messing with the smb.conf file and don't ask me why or how but here it is and it prints to the Epson777 Stylus color inkjet with a "Edimax Mini Print Server" attached to the back with a static IP from Windows2000. The only slight quirk is that the "Epson Status Monitor" pops up looking for the printer trying to

New to Samba, so excuse me if this is a stupid question, but I've searched the different on line resources and can't find an answer. When I copy Perl scripts from my Windows 2000 machine to the UNIX Samba share on that same machine, a CR/LF appears at the end of each line instead of just the CR, making UNIX unhappy when I go to run those scripts. Any way to have Samba strip the LF

This is a hard one. I can set up cups & samba fine to print ok on FreeBSD and to print from W2K on BSD - ahh, but only with the windows printer driver for Epson - which sucks - there is no way to clean heads, the color is horrible, print area is limited, etc. The major problem is that there does not seem to be any documentation that explains clearly how the configuration works either for

Das Problem kann behoben werden in dem man nochmal die genaue Schreibweise in der smb.conf ?berpr?ft. Hilfreich w?re es auch in /etc/cups/cups.conf (Suse 8.1) LogLevel debug einzustellen, um genauere Informationen zu erhalten. Und nat?rllich dann cups neustarten. Diese k?nnen in der /var/log/cups/error_log nach gelesen werden. Auch gross und Klein Schreibung beachten, obwohl ich hier nicht genau

Hello Family, In creating an iso to boot the headless/cardless server, I've got isolinux to boot the system OK but still can't get the output to export to /dev/ttyS0 I've got a test script that pipes a "Hello World" to /dev/ttyS0 which show up fine on the other Linux box so I know that tunnel is intact.

Hello Family, I'm trying to help with a problem where there is a headless/cardless server and we need to create an isolinux image that points the display to the serial port. The original machine that is using this has the ability in the bios to redirect its video to /dev/ttyS0 or such but the machines I have access to do NOT have that ability built into the bios. [question] Is there a way

Dearl all, I have setup samba2.2.7 with cups1.1.14. In win2k client, the browse the printer share and install the windows 2000 printer successfuly. When I try to print some to it, nothing will be printed out.
