Hi, I trying to print a label printer that is attached to a windows95 machine. The job is sent to the printer queue on the linux machine (Red Hat 7.3), but never printed on the printer. When I check the status of the print queue on the linux machine, I get the following: [root@S12601 syn]# lpq -Pbinpos Printer: binpos@S12601 Queue: no printable jobs in queue Server: no server active Status:

Hi, my problem is to access a shared printer with samba on my WindowsXP workstation When I browse thru my network with Explorer, I can see the shared printer. When I double-clic on the printer, Windows XP ask me if I want to install it. I choose the right driver and click "OK". The installation begin and there is no error in the installation. After the installation Windows XP open the

Recently i've moved to samba 3.0 beta1 and noticed, that drivers for shared printers couldn't be uploaded from WindowsXP GUI any more. After copying files to \\smbserver\print$\W32X86 folders it says something like "Unable to install HP LaserJet 2100 PCL6, Windows2000 or XP, Intel driver. Operation could not be completed". It works OK on samba3.0alpha20, but doesn't work

Hi there I have a pretty strange problem that pops up once in a while. Running samba 2.2.7a having installed a Samba machine as password server sharing user info via NIS I have a couple of printers running here at our place. Several of them are only accessible to a select group of people so I defined the concerned printers share as: [PrinterX] valid users = user1, user2, user3 .... ..... Things

Hi all, I am running samba 3.0.6 on Linux and am wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to delete a print driver from the driver database? I have around 20 printers running off of this print server and occasionally we remove all of a certain type of printer. Also, for some reason, the drivers sometimes seem to become corrupt and it would be nice to be able to entirely remove a driver and

... Since I got no answers to my previous post about "forgotten" printer drivers that is printer drivers that disappear after you reinstall a samba and brig back all .tdb from back-up I said what a hell let's try adding the printer drivers again. You guessed, it didn't worked. After asking me for the printer driver location XP ws returns a message that "Operation could not

Samba 2.2.8a-1, RH8. ... So, I had to reinstall. Fortunately I had a back-up copy. I've installed everything and then went to back-up and brought back all the stuff from /etc/samba and /var/cache/samba and all /etc/cups and /etc/printcap*. 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 I am not asking an obvious question. I have googled and looked in the obvious places, but I may have missed it. Anyway my question is two fold. How do I configure for a network printer in Wine and how to I install the printer specific ppd file? I am running 0.9.60, which I installed this week, on Mepis (Debian based with KDE and cups). I can print from PageMaker, but get a warning that

Hi, I hope the title is understandable? We have several Samba file shares set up on AIX 4.3.3 boxes and there are only file shares, no printers are defined at all. The files shares work great. However, when users browse the Entire Network in Windows Explorer (from XP Pro clients) it shows a printers and faxes folder on each Server. As there are no printers on these servers is there a way to

Hello, I'm running a samba and cups combo on a Centos 5.1 machine. It's acting as a lan print server. I used pointprint to upload drivers to the samba share so that windows clients could obtain them. This was working fine until i'm assuming the upgrade 5.0 to 5.1 on centos, when samba was upgraded. The driver paths are still there, drivers, shares, but the .tdb files are not.

I have been trying to setup a new print server on Fedora 12 based around samba-3.4.7-58.fc12.x86_64 and cups-1.4.2-28.fc12.x86_64. All looks good except for the ability for printer administrators to manage printers. Whether I specify users in a system group using the deprecated printer admin option, or specifically using net rpc rights and the SePrinterOperatorPrivilege, it does not matter.

Hello everyone, I upgraded my Samba server on my RHL 7.2 box from 2.2.3a to 2.2.7. Almost immediately afterwards, all of my admin users suddenly were unable to access the printers that were being shared by Samba. Any idea of what is wrong and how to fix it? The messages I'm getting are that I do not have enough rights. I am using a Windows 2000 Server PDC and a lot of Windows XP Pro, and

I am using SAMBA/Lprng to do printer accounting for charge-back. There are two technical issues I have not been able to resolve. 1. When attempting to connect to the printer from a Windows box in the domain (the SAMBA server is simply a server that's a member of the domain, it is not the PDC) I get the message that the server does not have the appropriate driver and then it pops up a setup

I have an Epson Stylus Color 880, connected to our network via an external ethernet printserver. I used to run lprng on the samba server (which is a domain controller), and the Windows clients had one minor problem accessing this printer via Samba (2.2.3a, then): Every time a client wanted to print, the Epson status monitor on the client would complain about communication problems with the

Hello, I have a new RH 7.2 installation (kernel 2.4.7-10) with Samba 2.2.1a and I can't print from my Win2K box. I get an "Access denied: unable to connect" error from the printer entry in Windows. The logs don't seem to be helping me. Here's my smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = MYGROUP server string = Samba SMB Server interfaces = 192.168.1.1/24 127.0.0.1/24 hosts

Hello: I have a printer set-up and working correctly on my Linux machine running Fedora Core 1. It is set up as a local printer called printer. I set it up thru the graphical printer configuration utility. I am trying to set it up as a network printer from my Windows XP machine using Samba. Here are the lines in my smb.conf file: [global] encrypt passwords = yes socket options

Hi there, I almot exlusively use samba for printing in a semi large scale (>2.000 windows hosts & >500 printers). I have been running 3.0.20 for a long time and was quite happy with it. Unfortunately my windows fellows have now updated to AD 2008 R2 and I experienced some immediate problems with encryptions types so I updated to 3.4.5 which is not really working for me. I see a

Hello, dear colleagues using SAMBA. Who could possibly tell me what I am missing in order to make my SAMBA printer share visible on the windows network( i.e., accessing it from a MS Windows machine's explorer, for example )? It is SAMBA 3.0.23 on Linux 2.4.33 machine(originally RedHat 7.3. based, but so much upgraded, even to GLIBC-2.3.6). here are the linked libraries:

(SuSE Linux Pro 9.2, Samba 3.0.9) I have a simple network, 10/100 Ethernet, consisting of a Linux file server/workstation, a WindowsXP workstation, and a laptop dual-booted for Linux and WindowsXP. I have several Samba shares, defined using YaST, on the file server. The problem is: When I access the Samba shares using the laptop WindowsXP, all shares show up and I am able to access them in
