similar to: Samba/Cups issues across a network

Good evening: I am running RedHat Linux 8.0 on a box that has my Epson Stylus Color 777 printer attached to it. The printer works fine from all applications on my Linux box using a driver I picked up from TurboPrint. I have downloaded and installed Samba 2.7.2 and am trying to print from a Windows 2000 box to this Linux machine. The problem is that when I print, the document seems to queue up

Since updating from 4.5 to 4.6 yesterday, I am getting a lot of CUPS errors. The error.log file is filling up with these messages: get_printer_attrs: resource name '/printers/printers' no good! And the access.log seems to be being polled often too, even in the absence of any print jobs submitted. On my network the CUPS-handled printer is exported from Samba. Given that the Samba

I seem to be having a great deal of trouble with cups and samba configuration. cups seems to go on and off and it works and doesn't work. I think I need some help on my samba configuration. Generally, it has worked well on another machine, but my current setup seems a bit screwy. System: FreeBSD 4.6.2; cups-1.1.15.1; cups-base-1.1.15.1_4; cups-lpr-1.1.15.1_1;cups-pstoraster-7.05.5;

Oldest son came back from college and wants a printer for his Dell laptop. I built it with CentOS 5.3 x86_64 several months ago and will upgrade it to 5.4 The Cannon printer he now has (bought with the laptop and Vista through the university book store), doesn't seem to have linux drivers. I built the machine with Vista and CentOS in dual-boot, so he could manage his iTunes and use the

Hi, I think that this is more a Samba query than a Cups one, as far as I can tell from the documentation anyway... I am running samba-2.2.5-1 and cups-1.1.16, I have these installed and working correctly... I have 50+ PC's (mixture of WinNT, Win2k, WinXP and Win9x/ME) printing to 6 queues on the server, 5 of these are RAW queues printing via lpd and ipp, and the other is a socket

We are trying to migrate from Samba/LPRng to Samba/CUPS and have hit some snags. We're using the Samba box as a print server for our corporate network, and have a variety of Windows versions on the network. The problem we're having is with our Windows 95 clients. Win95 uses the printer comment when it maps to the printer on the server. However, when we connect to a printer, we no

OK, I've tried changing my printcap name from printcap to cups. Printing works fine locally using CUPS on the Samba box. What am I missing here? Why can't I print to the Samba box via the Windows and linux clients? Shared directories work fine. I am really frustrated here and have exhausted Google and all other resources I have. Here's my smb.conf for what it's worth.

Dearl all, I have setup samba2.2.7 with cups1.1.14. In win2k client, the browse the printer share and install the windows 2000 printer successfuly. When I try to print some to it, nothing will be printed out. I check the cups's error_log found the following message: "E [11/Dec/2002:20:35:43 +0800] print_job: Unsupported format 'application/octet-stream'!" Also, I check

I'm having a bit of trouble getting a Samba printer set up. What I have is a postscript capable HP laserjet. It actually has IPP/HTTP and stuff on it. I need queueing to work, so my clients can't print to it directly, so what I want to do is: Get the printer set up on a central CUPs server: done. Printing quality is perfect from Unix machines. Thank you postscript! Have samba print to

Seriously. I can't afford to be down much longer or I'm going to be in serious trouble. Running Redhat 7.2. Here's the scoop: Cups is installed and running. Samba is installed and running and is sharing files properly to 100+ people. I can print a test page from the Cups web-interface. I can print a test page by "cat foo | lpr" or "cat foo | lpr.cups" no

Hi ! I own a Canon S500 (4 Color Inkjet printer). Canon has ultimately poor support for linux i'll never by a Canon-product again. Unfortunately i bought this one before i abandoned my windows and now i'm stuck with some average drivers of my Fedora linux (FC5). No nozzle check/alignment, no printhead cleaning and bad color-setup/correction. I tried turboprint.de drivers and are they much

I have a RedHat 9 installation running XFS. Cups 1.1.17-13 is installed I have compiled and installed Samba 2.2.8a and everything appears to be working apart from a minor printing problem. After I have installed a printer on my Win2K workstation I can print via samba to the cups printer using the windows PCL print driver and it works fine. However the printer status is always 'Access denied,

I am now getting around to setting up a test printer. CUPS is installed in RAW mode and a test print work A-OK. I also set the CUPS printer que as default. Below are my printer related smb.conf lines for this PDC. [global] ... ########## NT Domain Related ########## admin users = pianoman ldsinst ... ########## Printing ########## printcap name = CUPS printing = CUPS [printers]

I am somewhat baffled by this and Googling for an answer has not given me any joy. I do get a lot of hits from preachers saying don't do it but either no answer was given or the answer refers to some distant past version of Samba... So, before anyone jumps on me, I know what I am wanting to do, and there is no risks involved. I am on a small SOHO network running my own group of computers,

Hi, I am running Samba.3.0.20b_1 on a FC4 box kernel-2.6_13.1 box with a mixed set of Win2k, XP clients. I want to enable everyone to print to a local printer on the Linux box as a guest. The XP machines can do this, but my Win2k machine insists that I log in as a Samba user before it will enable me to print. That's OK when I am logged into it (although annoying), as I know what to do,

Nope, doesn't work, and I need the drivers to be available and read from the linux server. The PPD files do contain one which is specific to my printer and has worked on another machine. -----Original Message----- From: Blake Patton [mailto:pattonb@spots.ca] Sent: May 31, 2002 11:32 AM To: WEBSTER, Greg Subject: RE: [Samba] I will pay you $10US (via Paypal) out of my own pocket if you can

I've set up Samba and CUPS on our testing server here, and used smbcupsadd to upload the Adobe PS drivers to the server as directed in the HOWTO (The CUPS and Samba HOWTOs differ on this point, by the way - the latter claims that PSMON.DLL is needed in addition to the eight other files. I played it safe and had it upload that, too). With the caveat that I first have to connect to each printer

Hi everybody! I've got a problem with downloading printerdrivers from my win2k box. Successfully added printer with cupsaddsmb-tool (as root, after failing as printer admin!!?!?!). The W32X86 and WIN40 directories have been created as they should and also did the PPD files. But if I connect to the printer from Win (as printer admin) I get the message that no driver could be found. RPCclient

Hello Family, (smd.conf file attached) Having had great success with 2.2.2 and my Linux box and Windows-2000 machines I switched to CUPS and now can't print again having made some slight edits in my smb.conf file (attached) for the change to CUPS. [1] I have to reloaded all the Windows drivers again on the Windows-2000 machines and still get the "Startdoc..." error. [2] The
