I finally fixed my problem by removing samba completely removing samba and reinstalling it. What I discovered is it appears to be an issue with rights. When I reinstalled samba the /var/lib/samba had rights like this. drwxrwxr-x+ 5 root root 4096 2010-01-11 23:27 samba On my original install where the 5 is it was a 6. After the reinstall the rights the rights on /var/lib/samba was reset to 5

Initially when I posted my access problems to print$ I was using the new registry based smb.conf I had my whole configuration in the registry. Now I move my printers and print$ back to the text based smb.conf and I copied the standard ubuntu debian [printers] and [print$] out of the original ubuntu package smb.conf and the only modification that I made was under the [print$] I change read only to

I am running ubuntu feisty 64-bit samba 3.0.24 and I deleted a printer from cups. In the past when I deleted the printer in cups it would delete it in samba. For some reason the printer did not get deleted in samba and when you browse the server you still see the printer. I did a net rpc printer and the deleted printer still showed up shared on the server. How do you delete a printer that

After much trying I have finally got this to work and I'm slightly embarassed to admit that the old RTFM tripped me up. In the Samba 3 HOWTO - the official one, rather than the draft I was originally using - it states quite clearly that to get point 'n' print to work "use client driver" needs to be set to "no" in the [global] section of smb.conf, and the samba

Greetings, My help request is about samba that can't print using CUPS from windows. I tryed to search for help on mailing-lists archives all around, and with the great Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf but didn't found a clue about my problem. I can print the CUPS test page, but can't print anything from windows using samba's share. I use samba-3.0.2a I compiled myself. It has been

Hello! I'm using samba to share printers from a cups service. In the windows explorer both printers, a network tcp/ip printer connected using a jet direct box and a pdf printer added by the package cups-pdf, are visible and both can be used from the cups web interface and work. When trying to use each from the windows explorer: The pdf printer can be printed to just fine. The jet-direct

Hi, On CentOS 6.4 (newdc), I have CUPS 1.4.2-50.el6_4.5 installed, can access its web interface. There I set up our main shared printer, an OCE Imagistics cm2520, and successfully printed a test page. With SerNet Samba 4.0.9 on the same box configured every which example way I could find, I cannot seem to get it to the point where double-clicking the printer in Windows (W2K3, OLDDC) opens

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I tried reading, studying and finding solution but am not making it alone :) On my home lan I have a Linux (Debian sid) box (192.168.174.244) running 3.0.10 samba and cups 1.1.23. My objective is to print from this box to the other home PC which is running XP (192.168.174.242) and sharing an Epson R200 printer. Follows the troubleshooting I could do

Hi, I've been trying to fix this for many months and cannot do it. I have a printer (Samsung ML-1740) and a printer/scanner (Canon MP-150), both installed in a Debian AMD64 system via CUPS. I have enabled sharing all printers in this machine in CUPS, and can print to them fine from other GNU/Linux systems in the network. However, I cannot even see this computer from other Windows machines

I have two computers, one with a HP printer on it and one with a Samsung printer on it. Both systems have their respective pritnters listed under system-config-printer and have "enabled" "accepting jobs" and "shared" checked. Up to a few days ago this worked fine. Suddenly I can't see either printer from the other machine and as far as I know nothing has

I am setting up a OpenLdap PDC with file and print services on Ubuntu Jaunty. Jaunty ships with samba 3.3.2. I configured samba to just use the registry back in which I think is pretty cool!

I can ssh into the box with my user id and create files in

First off I have read the SAMBA 2.2 printer documetation and Samba Printing Documentation for 3.0. And searched the Internet through Google and did not come up with much. Maybe it is how I am doing search I don't know. I had some success using CUPS for Point and Click printing using cupaddsmb command. I could get the print drivers to download on W2K and XP. But, I could not get the the

Could someone please explain to me how to best configure printers in CentOS 5? I've been trying to configure a new printer, which is served by a Mac Mini: If I open a web browser at localhost:631, or "system-configure-printers" and I configure the new printer as an IPP printer, it winds up in a list of "Remote printers", and once it winds up there I can't seem to
