similar to: Samba/Cups print server for Windows 7?

I have installed Samba-3.0.22 with CUPS on my Solaris 10 box. It prints fine and shows up in my CUPS queue but active print jobs in my CUPS queue don't show up in my Windows Print Driver queue on my client! I've also tried not using CUPS and having it call lpstat but it still doesn't work! When I run CUPS' lpstat in command line it can see the jobs. What am I doing wrong?

I have replaced a WinNT4 PDC with a Samba server. I'm not experiencing problems with file sharing/locking at all, but printing is another issue. In this network, there are several dot-matrix printers that are ONLY printed to using a DOS application, and a laser (HP 2300, PCL and PS) that is primarily used for Windows printing. Problem: Windows clients (using downloaded drivers from

I've had a Samba print server in my network for nearly 4 years now. The time has come for me to replace it with a more powerful machine. I have nearly 50 client machines (Windows 2000 and XP) attached to the printers that the existing server has and I don't want to have to touch them during this upgrade. I already have the new server built. Samba and CUPS are both ready for the

Hi, i am trying to migrate my print servers from windows to linux , everything is getting really nice but i still face a few problems , and since i don't know if i need help from cups or samba guys i will post to both lists, so maybe someone can give me some help.

It is possible to see the print queue and via NT4's printer window. Correct? And remove the jobs too, right? But not for me. cups-1.0.5, samba-2.07 on linux-2.2.15 queues show ok using lpq printing from nt works ok using samba. in smb.conf I have: printing = cups print command = lpr -P%p -s %s; rm %s lpq command = /usr/local/bin/lpq -P %p lprm command = /usr/local/bin/lprm -P %p %j The

Hi All, I am working on a product(running on Linux with Kernel 2.4) in which print-server is one of the functionalities. For that I have integrated Samba and CUPS which will let me give print-commands from a Windows PC and the commands are communicated to the cups via Samba and finally the prints are done by the printer which is connected to the product. I have both CUPS(1.2.1) and Samba(3.0.22)

Hi all, I have a problem while trying to migrate print services from a Win server to Samba 3.0.23c on an old FC 4 box. The Samba box is part of a AD domain, with spoolss enabled: <snip> security = ads domain master = no local master = no preferred master = no disable spoolss = no use client driver = no </snip> On the Linux box, I also have Cups 1.2.12 (self-compiled) running, with

Hello, I have unsuccessfully been trying to find a solution for the following problem: Since a couple of months I have been running a openldap / cups 1.1.17 / samba 2.2.8a server setup with which I am extremely happy. But lately after installing an existing HP 4050 laserjet printer in cups and samba (with cupsaddsmb and the cups windows drivers), pdf documents will not print on this

Centos users, I new to Centos 7 and my problem is the following: I am using my Centos 7 system as a print server in a warehouse. Using cups for the print queue's. Which I can print to the printers find from the Centos 7 machine. The hosting system is Sco Unix using lpd printing. This machine is in Illinois and the warehouse / Centos 7 machine is in Arizona. I have loaded

I've seen various posts to this and other lists about CUPS, Windows printing, and downloading of drivers for an IPP printer installed on a Windows machine, the printer being serviced by CUPS. I have downloaded the respective Windows 9x, 2K, and XP drivers from manufacturers' sites, and want to find a way to implement them to CUPS, so if anyone opts to mount a printer via http, the drivers

Dear Experts, CentOS 7 outsmarted me (again...). Could someone tell me where cups print queues' default settings are stored? In the past I was doing rather trivial thing: I was setting up prototype machine (making kickstart file based on it), then I was configuring all printers on prototype machine. After which (with cups daemon stopped) I was just packing /etc/cups (and maybe

Hello! we are using cups 1.0.4 and samba 2.0.6 here. windows client can print correctly, but they can not see queue status. the print manager of windows allways shows blank. how to solve this problem? Any body got success to let windows client see the queue of the server ?? thanks for help .... Best Regards, Tbsky

I'm migrating a 1.000 queues windows print server with AD very critical enviroment to linux/cups/samba solution. Initially, everything working fine, but when reached paroximately 400 queues created the server is getting degradated. The browsing of printers shares is very low. Many times during the day smbd and winbindd need to be restarted to stop the degradation. I didn't found any

We have a print server running RHEL 4, w/ samba-3.0.33-0.15.el4 When viewed from windows, one queue on the system has the "remains" of 264 print jobs - some dating back to April, but I can't find where the information is coming from. Apparently the jobs print fine, but then the information sticks in the queue information. Running lpq on the Samba system shows: # lpq -a no

Hi All, I have gained my basic Linux / Samba knowledge from using SME server (www.contribs.org) More recently I have started to use Trustix Linux to build servers for specific things for example as a print server. I installed Trustix and the most recent Cups/Samba rpm's from the repository (I am pretty sure they are the latest stable releases) but I can check version numbers if this helps.

I've got a Red hat 8.0 machine running the latest "up2date" version of Samba (2.2.7 with Red Hat's patches) acting as a print server using CUPS. The printing of documents is fine for the most part. But I have noticed one thing that is really nothing more than an annoyance and was wondering if anyone else has seen the problem and possibly a cure. I have all Windows 2000 Pro

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

I have also posted this to the CUPS general group, but thought that it was also a relevant post for this list. ------- I have samba-2.2.8a on RedHat 7.2. This has been a stable setup for quite some time, printing works as advertised. However, attempting to control the queues and print jobs is another story. As an aside, the Linux box is a domain member that does pass through authentication

Greetings ... I'm using the "cupsaddsmb" to upload the CUPS printer drivers onto my Samba server, but seem to be having problems with new printer queues. I find if that I reload Samba, the upload works fine, otherwise I get "result was WERR_INVALID_PRINTER_NAME", which I think maybe Samba needs to ask CUPS if the queue is new or something. Could any boby help
