similar to: samba cannot find cups printcap

Hi, I've been running samba on a linux machine (dslkayak) to share a folder and a printer with several windows machines on a home network for a couple of years without problems. I've recently added a second linux machine (ps3ydl) to the network, but I cannot access it from any other machines on the network even though it can access the other network shares. There error I get is:

Although I can print locally on a linux machine running samba-3.4.5, cups-1.4.1, hplip-3.9.12 without errors, when any windows machines try to print to a printer connected to the Linux machine, the job prints, but gives the following error: "/usr/local/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed" ..and the job remains in the print queue on both the local and remote machines. This error occurs

Hi everyone, I am using Samba 2.2.3a on a Redhat Linux 7.2 Intel server as a printserver on a W2K PDC network. I have a Xerox 440 printer, an HP 4500 PS and an HP 4550 PS printer using my Samba printserver. I am often receiving the following error message: ERROR: syntaxerror OFFENDING COMMAND: STACK: at which point printing stops and the printers start saying TIMEOUT. Sometimes I can reprint

Hi Team, We have a weird issue that we are trying to understand. We have winbind set up and working successfully for user authentication with passwords via ssh. We have pam.d/system-auth-ac and password-auth-ac (symlinked) set to require membership of a group which works great via password authentication. However, if the user has a ssh key set up, they seem to bypass the group membership

Good morning all, I really hate emailing lists, but I've come to a wall that I just cant work out how to get past at the moment, so am hoping for some community assistance if possible. Some background: We are running Windows Server 2003 on all of our domain controllers, and are in the middle of migrating to server 2008 R2. We have unix exentions enabled (rfc2307 I believe), and manage

Is there a limit on the number of pages that can be in a pdf file? I am using pdf() (on R version 1.4.1, running on Red Hat 7.1 on an Intel box) to create a large (> 300 pages) file of diagnostic plots. If I plot every figure I want to include (364 pages, according to Acroread ver. 5.0.5), neither xpdf on Linux nor Acroread ver 5.0.5 on Win98 can render the file. xpdf give the error message:

To the plot experts: when creating a plot containing different lines, each with a special line type, it may happen that the result of 'postscript()' is not readable by ghostview (which may not be an R error, thus not bug report ;-). This is the case when mixing lty as 0:6 and character or even when using lty as character only. Example: postscript("test.ps") plot(1:10,

Hello R Developers, Dear R-developers, I ran some standard tests with currently (today morning) compiled R release candidate in Linux R 2.12.1 RC (2010-12-13 r53843). Some of these tests used plot.TukeyHSD function. This worked OK on the screen (X11 device), but PostScript file could not be rendered. The following example had the problem with me: postscript(file="tukeyplot.ps")

I discovered a little problem when using the Windows NT release of R 1.0.1, and it's still there in R 1.1.0. The boiled down version is this: I want to draw the following plot and put it into a Postscript file: x <- c(1,2,3,4); y1 <- c(1,2,3,4); y2 <- c(2,2,2,2) Fred <- c(1,2) postscript(file="d:/Bob/Papers/IFM/try2.ps") plot(x,y1, type="l")

Hi List, is sth. like the following possible: legend(x,y,c("A","B","C"), lty=list(1,"42","11")) ? Or: is there a possibility to define a solid line using the "string" mode for lty?

Hi folks, I have a print server, running SPARC Solaris 9. I've just upgraded from Samba 3.0.10 to 3.0.22 and immediately hit system load issues which appear to be related to the use of "lpstat -v" to determine the available print queues. There are about 70 Unix print queues on this system. Running "lpstat -v" can take something like 20s of wall-clock time. lpstat

Previously, I was able to print within wine because the print dialogs would include the printers defined in the /etc/printcap file. Something changed, and now there are *no* printers defined within wine. I have tried reinstalling wine and all windows programs with no luck. Anyone have any hints where to start? Is there something else I need to configure? Richard rdlee@acm.org

Here's the scoop, Well Jeremy and I found the bug last night. Unfortunately it will not be fixed soon. The problem is a bug in our client side code wrt oversized PDUs. When the needed size > MAX_PDU_SIZE in a parsing struct, we need to fragment the PDU and use SMBwrite instead of a single SMBtrans. Fortunately, this has not gotten us into big trouble yet. Jeremy knows how to fix it,

First off, I'm upgrading my school's version of samba, they have 941 printers listed in the printcap file. The old version of samba works. When I run "smbd -D", it waits a few seconds then replies "IOT trap (core dumped)." gdb has errors tracing through it. Here is a snip from log.smb (the only log file I get) at level 10 logging (plus some extra debug statements I

Hi all, Am I the only person to have fallen over the following 'gotcha' ? Upgraded to 1.9.18p8 from 19.9.17p5 on Friday. Came in this morning to discover all Printing had died. Eventually tracked this down to the 'printcap name' setting in Samba jad changed. It default was '/etc/printcap' (it must have been as printing was fine up 17p5 and all previous versions).

According to all of the documentation I can find, an /etc/printcap file (or whatever filename is specified with the Printcap directive) is generated by cupsd ever time a printer is added or removed. On all of my CentOS 6.7 systems, this is NOT happening. I can restart cups and add or remove printers over and over and it still doesn't generate the printcap file. Is this a known issue, or is

Hi list. I'm having problems w/ printing using Samba on Redhat 8. Shared drives work fine yet my CUPS printing doesn't work. I sure appreciate any input. For what it's worth, I couldn't find any printing related errors in /var/log/samba/. I notice that the printcap doesn't have a sub-directory named cups like my old Debian box. Could that be it? Here's my smb.conf

I am using samba-2.2.7-3.7.2 on a redhat 7.2 server with an attached printer which is run by CUPS. It worked OK until I upgraded to samba-2.2.7-3.7.2. Now I can print locally on the server machine, but not from the windows machines on the LAN. The error message on the windows box is " Unable to create a print job." Another error, produced daily when samba is "re-initialized"

Hello all. I'm currently setting up a RedHat box with 4 nics to handle SMB printing for 4 separate subnets. I have CUPS printing set up and functioning. I have a separate smb.conf file configured to bind to one interface each, and everything is dandy. Here is where I hit my problem. When I have the following line from the conf file set as you see it, I see all the print queues without
