similar to: Can't add windows printer drivers from windows

I'd like to set up my samba 2.2.8a server to serve printer drivers to clients when needed. I have set up the print$ share, in which I still have no drivers. Tried adding drivers from a win2000 workstation by using "server properties" command, I can't add anything since all buttons are greyed out. The user I am using is in the printer admin group in smb.conf. I

I have done a foolish thing and I would like help undoing it! I have managed to add drivers for all of the printers on my Samba server, using the "Add printer driver wizard." They are in print$ (/usr/local/samba/printers/W32X86) The ones for my Win95 and 98 clients are in /usr/local/samba/printers/WIN40 but they are Wrong! I cannot use the "Server Properties" tab in the

I used to be able to load printer drivers via "server properties". Now when I go in the printer drivers are listed and I can use the properties button but the Add/Remove buttons are greyed out. This is a Samba 3.0.0/2.4.2-SGI_XFS_1.0 box and I've tried both NT4sp6 and Win2003beta clients (both exhibit the same behaviour). I see the following in the log when I connect to

Hi, I've run a Samba server happily for some time now, and all my users are printing via it. The printing works like so:- User prints from application on an NT4 workstation to a Samba printer Samba picks up job and hands it off to LPRng LPRng directs job to the appropriate network printer. The printer drivers are installed on the local machines, and automagical driver download is *not*

Maybe there's a trivial solution to this, but it's confused the hell out of me. I'm trying to upload the latest Windows XP PCL6 driver for our Laserjet 4250TN to my Samba 3.0.11 server. It works, and uploads the driver files, but then at the end it produces an error on the XP client "the operation could not be completed". The logs on the samba server state:

No matter what I try I was unable to upload the drivers to my samba machine from the property sheet. I don't get any error as I don't even get the chance to press 'New Driver'. I followed the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html to the letter (or so I beleive). But everytime I get the the "Advance Tab", the "New Driver button is greyed out. However I can modify

Hello everyone, I've got a Xerox Work Centre 5735 that I'm printing to via Samba. When I install the drivers on a client (using the right-click-Connect method) from the samba shared printer then the install goes smoothly but I can't load the Printing Preferences dialogue for that printer, I get an "Operation could not be completed" error. This same error does not occur

Hello, I have problems setting up a canon multifunction ir7200. When I print the windows test page, I have something like "smiley" "arrow" "arow" "smiley" "arrow" name_of_the_samba_spool "smileys" driver.dll etc,etc,etc, on a single line. Did somebody used such a multifunction with Samba ? Below is a (long) description of what I did. I

Hi, With Samba 3 and Windows XP, it used to be possible to install he printer drivers on the Samba server, so when an XP workstation joined the domain, it would find the printer drivers automatically. Does such a functionality exists with Windows 7? 64 bits? 32 bits? Thanks in advance, Olivier --

Greetings, all, I have a fresh install of Samba 2.2.7 on a Solaris 9 machine. Stand alone, not part of a domain. Testing with a stand alone Windows 2000 professional client with service pack 3 installed. I am having problems setting defaults for the installed printer drivers and I have been unable to load Win98 drivers to go along with the W2k drivers. Printers being tested are an HP LJ

Greetings, We're running samba 3.0.23 (ADS domain member) and cups 1.2.2 on debian sarge to serve printing to XP clients. I have a user with the required priveleges to install and set print driver options using the Add Printer Wizard: # net rpc rights list 'SOMEDOMAIN\suarezry' SeMachineAccountPrivilege SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege SeBackupPrivilege SeRestorePrivilege

I have a strange problem here. I have a network of Windows NT and XP clients that print to printers shared by Samba. When I double click on the printer icon, the queue opens and it says in the title bar, "Initializing", then "Failed to connect, Retrying". I was able to resolve this on Windows NT by created "Samba Printer Port" as a local port. Unfortunatly in

Hello together, I posted this question a few days ago, but I still have problems with printerinstallation over controlpanel. i use samba3 as PDC with LDAP. Everything works fine. I can browse the network over networkneighborhood and there i can see all shares and printers. But if i go to the controlpanel of a ms-client (NTsp6a or W2k sp4), go to printers, new printers, choos

Hello, I've tried both samba-3.0.0beta2 and beta3 but both give me the same problem. When on a windows dekstop and trying to add a printer with samba as the printserver , the printers exported by the samba server are not seen by the windows "add printer dialogue" e.g.: relevant part of smb.conf: ----------------------------------- load printers = yes printing = cups

Hi list I have two very similar printers set up on CUPS and Samba is configured to share the drivers. I had been playing around with setting up a RAW printer queue with native Windows drivers but eventually gave up on that. I deleted all printers and redid them from scratch and now only one of them works. Setup: Ubuntu Karmic 2.6.31-15-server #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 10 15:50:36 UTC 2009

According to the Classical Printing document, I should browse to the printer share, right-click, choose "Properties", and say No to the question about adding drivers. Then, at the properties window, I'll be able to add drivers. But I can't... drivers are greyed out. The doc suggests that I use smbclient to tell if the connection is "set up as a user with printer admin

Hi- I wanted to share my experience w/ the list in getting a completely wide open file and printer (w/ automagic driver download) with security = share setup working. My requirement was to setup a server for a small office of XP boxes w/ file and printer sharing and had always done samba as domain controller w/ full logons etc. No need for any security in this setup and I wanted to have the

Hi, I am having problems adding printers to Windows. The printers are setup on a Samba 3.0.2a server running on Solaris 9 and using CUPS. When I add the printer to Windows it seems to install OK but no printer port is added. The "Comment" and "Location" fields in the Windows printers box are also empty as though it isn't talking to the Samba server. When I look at the

Nobody who can help use with this issue? A developer already began to fix it 3/4 year ago, but never created a patch that finally fix the whole problem. -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: [Samba] Samba 3.4 / 3.5: Printer settings not available for normal users Datum: Tue, 18 Jan 2011 09:32:58 +0100 Von: Marc Muehlfeld <Marc.Muehlfeld at medizinische-genetik.de> An: Jack
