Hi I've a question about Samba, Cups and the Windows clients default printer settings. Where are the these settings saved? Is there a special file or is it saved somewhere in the $print share? thanks for your help Pascal

I have followed the various guides online for setting up Cups and Samba, to where you can just right click a print and choice connect and the printer just works but then it does not work with Vista. It seems to print out tons of junk. Is there a way to make Vista work with Cups + Samba?

Hello! Sometimes I have problems printing a particular Word document on a Windows XP machine. The printing takes very long and the server load/CPU are very high. I set the log level = 3 printdrivers:10 and got an STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW error (see logfile-extract below) On the client side I use MS Office 2003 SP3 and Windows XP SP3. The postscript-driver of Lexmark X464 is configured as

I am using Slackware 10.2 (kernel 2.4.29) and Samba 3.0.21c for my print server. The client workstations are WinNT4. I have two printers on the linux server..an HP DeskJet 600 and an Okidata B4250. I can install and print to the HP from any of the workstations. I can install the Okidata just fine, but when I try to print from Word, Excell, or any application Dr. Watson comes to visit. I get

Is anyone else seeing Vista (final) will not "connect" to a samba-hosted printer? I'm getting error 0x00000057. I can connect to the port only and install a local driver, though. It's just that the drivers will not load correctly. The drivers do load partly, because I can see driver-specific attributes if I go to "Properties" rather than "Connect". But a test

Hi all! I'm syncing a windows share from a NetApp filer to a local partition on my RHEL3 box. I observe the following behavior: - rsync syncs more than neccessary, files that haven't changed since years - files that have been synced, aged for an hour or two on the netapp host Environment: cifs share mounted to /backup/sync (mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pwd //server/share

Aparently samba is working corectly: All user/machine accounts are in place winbind OK... It's just that although I've restored the /home/printers

I hope this hasn't already been mentioned on the list or I'll kind of look stupid... The Ogg Developers may already be aware of this, but I thought this would be news for most of the people who subscribe to this list.

I think I have narrowed down the problem why smbd processes are soaking up so much CPU on our file server. Here are some selected samples from strace output as I attached to the offending smbd process: Culprit #1 I took three sample snapshots, each lasted for several seconds, and I took them minutes apart from each other. I noticed many lines involved stat'ing the a single file in the

Hi, could someone who is close to the Samba development make a comment about the automatic printer drivers features in Samba 2.2.5 I've been trying to get this working unsuccessfully, and have seen many messages posted from people having trouble with this feature. Not sure if this is an unnusual number of people with problems, but it seems like it ( I could be too close to the problem to see

Hi all, I have uploaded the printer drivers succesfully on RedHat Linux/ Samba 2.2.4 server. I can download and print without any problems. But when I do Windows API call GetPrinter with PRINTER_INFO_2, the devmode in printer_info is always null.
