Hello, I've got a redhat9 system with cups and samba3 installed. I want to use this machine for both local and network printing. On the local side apps can print just fine, the cups configuration is working great. Network-side is not the case. I've got a mixture of 2k and 9x clients, so i'm going to need drivers for both configurations. In smb.conf i've got: printcap name = cups

Hi, I recently upgraded from 3.0.24 to 3.0.28 on my Slackware 11.0 PDC. I have just noticed several printers have disappeared (they still exist and work in cups but they do not show up in the share listing on the server and users who have them set up cannot print). Most of the printers are still present, the ones the disappeared have names that are 17 or more characters, the remaining

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

Hi, I am a Samba newbie using 3.0.27 and noticed that Samba allows me to create directories in Samba shares on Windows that have the same name, but different case. For example, "TEST", "tEsT", "test", and "TESt" are all permitted directory names in the same path (root directory of the Samba share). This seems like a bad thing since Windows itself does

Hello, I ran a yum update on a centos 5 machine. I then removed some old kernel files, 2.6.x.14 and 2.6.x.10 older kernels. The issue is i got the error "Grub can not create template". I checked /boot and it is now empty. If i reboot this box it certainly will have an issue. I'm running the latest kernel 2.6.x.15 i believe it is. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I have been googling quite a bit and going through the samba documentation looking for something like a banner for a share and nothing came up. I need to setup a public share on a server that is currently running with server security, so I addedd the nobody account to the smbpasswd with null password, but I want to set a banner on the share that let people know this. Is this

I recent upgraded to 2.2.8, which went fine. When I checked smbclient -L firewall, I saw I Lost my printer share. I am using CUPS v1.1.3 for printing. When I went back to 2.2.7a it reappeared. 2 questions: 1> Why did it do this? I ./configured it --enable-cups- --with-pam_(smb) 2> Is there and advantage of upgrading such a small step? Or are there a big enough issues to warrant this

I currently have a 95% Novell Network network that continues to have constant printing issues. Enough Novell bashing, here lies the problem. I am trying to migrate all of our printers over to a samba print server, but in several of my tests I have come up with problems. I will attach my smb.conf at the end for those of you that wish to see it. I am using lprng as the printing backend because all

I'm following along in the guide, trying to make printer drivers available from Samba. But when I right-click on a printer in Windows XP and select the "properties" tab, it's disabled: http://tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo=BMeeHijW2w%2FyTvDsjpQbEQ%3D%3D So how do I enable this so the client can upload the drivers? So far I have tried: * Add the name of the user as "printer

I have been looking for clear guidance on setting up Samba on home network to share files and printers for nearly a year and just don't understand how to apply the information.

Hello, I have a CentOS 4.4 box acting as a print server with a cups backend and samba 3.2.4. I recently ran yum which updated both cups and cups-libs, but i do not think this is my problem. I've added windows drivers to the samba sharea and have in the past printed a test page to the printer. Now when i atempt to do this with a word document from a windows box, i am getting the error:

I am trying to create a master share that contains all the other shares. I created a group that needs read+write permission to all the other shares. However, rather than adding this group in each share configuration, I was wondering if there is a way to overwrite the permission. I tried this but gave read-only access. Also in the linux level, I don't have this master group as the owner. Any
