Hello, I'm trying to set up a CentOS 4.4 print server. I've attached a Usb Hp Deskjet 5150 printer to the box, and printed a test page. This worked fine, using cups. I then went to the samba howto, classical printer section, and followed the section for uploading pointprint drivers to the box. My first problem came when i told the error dialog no, then didn't see a new driver

Hello, SAMBA 3.0.10, MS Windows 2000 pro, HP deskjet 9300 printer driver available at: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software3/COL4383/dj-14540-2/dj9308en.exe When I set the driver via APW, and then close the properties dialog, I get a protection fault from C:\winnt\explorer.exe.

I have just run into two printer drivers (Brother 1870N and HP Deskjet 890cxi) that seem to crash windows explorer as soon as they are uploaded to the samba server. I have tried using "default devmode=yes" with no success for both drivers. I have found an horrible workaround that maybe should be useful to others, so I'll describe it here. First, uninstall the offending

Hi there. I've been some days dealing with printing problems in Win2k clients, having a Samba 2.2.5 parched with "parse_sec.patch" as a printer server. When I try to print anything, explorer.exe dies. Sometimes dies spoolsv.exe, or sometimes all the system locks (it may be because explorer do not restart). It happens to all my Win2k clients with Service Pack 2, and only when using

I have been trying to setup a new print server on Fedora 12 based around samba-3.4.7-58.fc12.x86_64 and cups-1.4.2-28.fc12.x86_64. All looks good except for the ability for printer administrators to manage printers. Whether I specify users in a system group using the deprecated printer admin option, or specifically using net rpc rights and the SePrinterOperatorPrivilege, it does not matter.

Hi, When I try to add a printer using APW, the printer gets added successfully. However, when I try to add a printer using the MS_RPC addprinter command, the script fails with access denied.

Hello, I'm running a samba and cups combo on a Centos 5.1 machine. It's acting as a lan print server. I used pointprint to upload drivers to the samba share so that windows clients could obtain them. This was working fine until i'm assuming the upgrade 5.0 to 5.1 on centos, when samba was upgraded. The driver paths are still there, drivers, shares, but the .tdb files are not.
