similar to: Problem installing printer drivers in Samba

I had to remove reference to some printer drivers via tdbtool on ntdrivers.tdb. 1. Do I need to restart smbd and nmbd to make these changes take effect? 2. If I restart smbd and nmbd will connected users get disconnected?

In /varcache/samba/ I have several .tdb files. Like brlock.tdb, locking.tdb, ntdrivers.tdb, etc. Excusing my ignorance, what are these files, and what do they do? And why must they be copied when migrating from one samba server to a new one?

I'm triing to put some samba3.6 server like print server, the load of ntprinters and ntdrivers is ok, but when I try to do a backup of the registry I find it: #net rpc registry export 'HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers\Version-3\Canon iR2270/iR2870 PCL6' printers.reg Violaci?n de segmento (Segmentation Fault) Export fail but enumerate

Hi there, I have a problem with the rpc driver stuff: I have copied the driver files to //atlas/print$/W32X86 and WIN40 (via filesystem copy), added and set the driver without errors. But getdriver reports no driver associatet with the printer?! So reports below. I am sure, this was working on this system. I tried to reinit the ntprinters.tdb, printing.tdb, nt_forms.tdb and ntdrivers.tdb by

Hi all, we've been moving an old Samba 2.2.x PDC install to a Samba 3.0.28 PDC install. We copied the ntdrivers.tdb and ntprinters.tdb from to old to the new server. After the migration, everything was just fine, except printing seemed to be somewhat slower. As more and more user logged on, the machine got really sluggish and printing took quite long. We figured out we've got bitten

Hello. I'm trying to find a way to administer a (set of) standalone samba machines (3.x style) locally. Most things are now done using `net rpc' command. But this one connects to a (local) samba server over network, and hence requires auth. Another example is pdbedit tool which accesses local passdb.tdb file directly as long as user running this command has the necessary permissions.

Hi, I'm trying to set up a samba-cups-pdf-printserver. samba itself is running fine, but when i try to add the cups printer-drivers for windows i got the following error: System: Debian/sarge with 2.4.20 i686 GNU/Linux samba 3.0.2-2 cupsys 1.1.20final-13 Windows-driver from cups-samba-5.0rc1.tar ssflx01_v2:~# cupsaddsmb -a -v -U uuuu Password for uuuu required to access

Hello All -- We are trying to consolidate our printer management from a series of NT print servers to a series of Samba ones, in a global network with ten offices and about 150 printers. All printing is PostScript and goes to HP and Canon printers over lpd through custom 'if' filters which do accounting. To help this we're trying to automate the printer and driver registration

I'm trying to install print drivers onto my samba 3.0.28 server (Fedora Core 8) following the Add Printer Wizard Driver Installation directions here: http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html#id388379 Unfortunately, when I try to add the print driver, I receive a Windows "Add Printer Driver Wizard : Unable to install Ghostscript PDF, Windows

I am having quite some difficulty adding printer drivers to the print$ share of my Linux box. Here are the details: Debian Gnu/Linux with kernel 2.4.18 on a Sun Ultra 2. Samba version 2.2.3a. CUPS version 1.1.19. I am following along in the printer_driver2.txt file. Here are the relevant lines of my smb.conf: [global] username map = /etc/samba/user.map workgroup = CDE server string = %h

Hello Nick, I do not think it is possible to just copy files like this from one to the other samba. You can do the copy job with rsync or scp. I made a samba PDC and BDC with ldap master ldap slave. So on both servers are the same users Groups etc. Both machines must have the same SID Greetings Daniel -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: samba-bounces+mueller=tropenklinik.de@lists.samba.org

Hi Everyone, I was wondering I am setting up a BDC at another physically separate location on a different subnet, and I am currently working on what files I need to have copied between the computers and which need to be made on each server. The specific question I am dealing with is what TDB files I need to replicate filesystems between the two servers. Below is a list of what the files I

I am running debian sarge 2.4.27-3-686 and samba version 3.0.14a-Debian . The previous machine was running rh 7.3 (valhalla) 2.4.20-29.7.progeny.11, samba version unknown. I have restored all shares and directories. Most of users can access everything, however our login script will not run. For those users that cannot log in re-joining them to the domain not only works but then the login

Hi, We're running samba-3.0.28a w/ cups-1.3.7 on debian etch to serve point and print to windows clients. http://us6.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html#prt-modeset How do I check if a queue had the device mode set or not? thanks, Ryan

I've been banging my head against some printing problems that I've been having for quite a while. This weekend I am migrating an old server to new hardware and a new base OS, but the version of Samba and CUPS remain the same. Because of this I moved all the config files and the contents of /var/cache/samba from the old server to the new. (Foreshadowing: this was a mistake, but not a

Hello all, I am running a Debian testing/unstable system with samba 2.2.3a-6 and cupsys 1.1.15-4 as a member server in a samba domain. I have used CUPS to add a networked HP8100N printer and it works fine locally, but I'm having difficulty adding it to samba for Win98 domain clients to use. I ran cupsaddsmb to add the printer and drivers to samba, but it cannot find the PPD file... where is

I have installed windows printer drivers and it worked but now I need to remove several. I have tried everything I can find but nothing will get rid of them. Using "remove" from a winxp machine in "server properties" won't work. It claims they are in use. I'm not sure what "in use" means. Nothing is printing and the drivers should be local. I've
