Hello, I've upgraded 2 of my Samba servers (out of 100+ Samba servers) in my live environment from version 3.0.14a to 3.0.27a. I'm using CUPS as print system for Samba (Samba is compiled with cups-devel) and I use the "Point 'n Print" mechanism of Samba (Windows) to provide XP users with the appropriate drives for the attached printers. CUPS is configured with RAW queues and

I did a clean install of Redhat 7.3 on a system. The install included samba, samba-client, samba-common. I moved the saved versions of smb.conf, smbusers and swbpasswd to /etc/samba. Then I started up smb by issuing "/etc/init.d/smb start" I have set smb to start upon reboot of the system. I have rebooted the system several times. smbd and nmbd start up, but clients cannot

I would appreciate any ideas on how to correct the problem that we are having that is outlined below. Thanks for your help. I have been running samba for a long time. Currently we are having problems with it filling up /var/log/messages with Feb 7 10:45:02 servername smbd[2157]: Can't become connected user!

I manage a bunch of workstations at the Wendell Free Library. They are all diskless, boot via PXE and mount all of their file systems via NFS from a server. All of the machines are 32-bit and run CentOS (fully up-to-date running 5.10). There are two printers with queues managed on the server. The server 'shares' these printers on the local LAN (eg with all of the workstations).

Hello all, I am trying to get to the bottom of a printing issue with samba-3.0.25b-2.fc7 and cups-1.2.11-2.fc7. I wasn't sure whether to start here or the CUPS list. When left running for an hour or two, the CUPS process will often be left using nearly 100% CPU. At this point, printing and add printer wizard operations from Windows clients over Samba are unreliable. Dialog boxes pertaining

I am trying to print from both a Win98 PC via Samba and a Red Hat 8.0 workstation to an HP 4 Plus printer that is connected to a Red Hat 8.0 server. I have managed to get the Win98 PC working OK, but am having difficulty with the RH8 workstation. I set the printer up using a browser with <Server>:631, calling it HP4Plus, and I can send a test print from the browser on the RH8 box via

hi. I am trying to get print working and have a hard time indeed... My goal is to replace our nt4 print server with a linux/samba one as we have problems serving printers and drivers to win2000 workstations (and I don't want to set up a win2000 server for printing, and have the same problem _again_ when switching to XP ;-) The situation so far : - Debian woody - Samba 2.2.4-1 - Winbind

Hi, we are running cups as print service on a single server. This server is also running samba to export the printer for the windows world. However sometimes we get the following messages on the samba file server. At this time the cupsd is still running, but not accessible. So looking at the status of the cupsd is not helpful. Two questions: Whats going on with the cupsd ? Why is samba

Hi, My Centos 4.4 server at home is serving a Samsung SCX-4521F printer, which the *nix and Win clients connect to through ipp. Every so often (maybe once a month), the cupsd.conf and mime.types files are updated, which makes the printer unavailable to the clients. My fix so far has been to stop cups, overwrite the files with cupsd.conf.working and mime.types.working (these are backup files of the

Hello - I am trying to use Samba and Cups to serve a file share and a "raw" printer to a Windows 98 client. I am using Gentoo Linux, kernel 2.6.12, Samba 3.0.14a, and Cups 1.1.23. I can access the data share from the Samba server, but the printer share does not show up when I try to use it, even if I specifically type in the name of the share (\\data_dog\win98_photosmart) it still

Hi all, Yesterday I reported rather vaguely about the printing issues I was experiencing on our local network after the latest kernel update. Today, I solved it, and I'm relaying this information such that others can potentially benefit from it if they run into a similar problem. :) Firstly, I contacted Xante support and they told me I was the first to ask Linux questions; they

Hello everyone I hope this is not off topic. The samba + cups thing is driving me nuts. Samba runs as PDC and print server. Everything is fine, printing works, automatic driver download works etc. Now I want only certain people to be able to stop a printer under windows. After digging around a bit I set my cupsd.conf file up like so: <Policy default> <Limit Send-Document

Hi, We're seeing this at the moment.

Listers, I encountered a problem with samba (2.2.7a) when I was setting CUPS (1.1.14) up.
