Hi, I use a Debian Sarge with samba 3.0.23c (from testing) and cups 1.1.23. For unexpected reason, some printers are sometime stopped (pause), and I need to start then again. There is no trace of a "stop" in the log of cups. (and I'm the only one who can pause them, anyway). here is an example : cat 10.lpr.log | grep imp-cao | grep -E "(stop|start)" Nov 10 14:15:41

Hi Folks, fresh CentOS 5.5 x86_64. One USB-printer connected (HP Business Inkjet 1200) Printing from localhost:631 (Testpage) works. But no from any application. From OO only the message: printer-problem - no more. Second printer is from far (Cupsd) in the network. Works well. But what's about the local printer? Any hints? Thx Timothy

OK, so setup CENTOS-5 on a laptop to learn about Xen stuff. KDE Desktop, wanted to print the virt.108.com xen howto. Needed to setup printer first. Open KDE control center, go to printers. Hear error sound, message says "Unable to retrieve the printer list.... Connection to CUPS server failed. ..." So I check to see that cups is running (it is). I check /var/log/messages

Hi, My Centos 4.4 server at home is serving a Samsung SCX-4521F printer, which the *nix and Win clients connect to through ipp. Every so often (maybe once a month), the cupsd.conf and mime.types files are updated, which makes the printer unavailable to the clients. My fix so far has been to stop cups, overwrite the files with cupsd.conf.working and mime.types.working (these are backup files of the

I manage a bunch of workstations at the Wendell Free Library. They are all diskless, boot via PXE and mount all of their file systems via NFS from a server. All of the machines are 32-bit and run CentOS (fully up-to-date running 5.10). There are two printers with queues managed on the server. The server 'shares' these printers on the local LAN (eg with all of the workstations).

Hello to all you folks, I've got TWO questions. 1) I've been trying to password the use of my two laser printers so that printing has to be assisted by my computer attendant (we are losing too much paper and toner to people clicking print five to ten times). But, I have not figured out how to force passwords on my samba printer (HP LJ1200 running under cupsd and samba). Is it possible

I have install from RPM on a Fedora server samba 4.19.4 + cups + cups- pdf to allow some client windows to print and generate PDF on server in order to analyse and convert these files into another format. I have configure smb.conf in this way[1] (on standard file I have only add "[global]/map to guest = bad user" and "[printers]/browseable = Yes"), but when I try to browse the

Hi all! Please help me... Scenario: - linux box, turned on only for developing and printing purposes, printing uses cups and samba - 2 winXP box most of the time turned on The following happened: - installed the latest gentoo distro, updating all the time, prinitng worked fine for couple weeks - 2 days ago it started not to print What I discovered: - after linux box boot it didn't print

I know this is only tangential to samba, but ... If in my cupsd.conf, should I be able to do something like: <Location /admin> AuthType Basic AuthClass Group AuthGroupName DOMAIN+Domain\ Admins </Location> I would think giving cupsd domain credentials which have membership in the proper group would authenticate you ... it isn't working .. yet "getent group" shows all

Listers, I encountered a problem with samba (2.2.7a) when I was setting CUPS (1.1.14) up. I set it up through the web interface, setting the appropriate values in smb.conf: [global] <snip> printing = cups load printers = yes printcap name = cups [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no public = yes

Hello- I am running Debian Woody, Samba 2.2.7, and Cups 1.1.14-3. I can print as any local Linux client, but there is a permissions issue when I try to print from Windows 2000. My spool directory is /var/spool/cups, the permissions are set 700 to user lp and group sys. If I chmod the directory to 777, printing works fine, but when I restart cupsd, the permissions revert back to 700. I am running

Hi, Thanks for the suggestions - the immediate problem is solved. I feel that a monstrous weight has been lifted. I tried the suggestions and the printer connection is back - wonderful!!!!! what a relief! I stopped the firewall and samba so it is one of them, or both which is causing the problem? I would vote for samba3 as the culprit because the printer loss occurred on both machines on a 2

Hi All! I've just done a test installation (on an external USB HD) to see how C7 works on my Acer Aspire netbook. Apparently the live install (I used this one: CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-livecd.iso) does not install CUPS. I've done "yum install cups" and got a ton of stuff installed, but it won't let me set up a printer in the printing applet in either Gnome or MATE (I prefer

I have never been able to get cups to work properly since CentOS 4.x (and am now on 5.2). When I try to "service start cups", cupsd immediately starts taking 100% of the cpu. Attaching strace to it shows no system calls happening. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling cups to get fresh config files. My printers.conf is empty. This is on a completely updated x86_64 CentOS 5.2

Hi guys, I've migrated from Samba NT4 to Samba AD, joined other Windows DC's to the domain and then demoted my Samba DC. I am not being able to login from client computers with the error stated on the subject. I've tried everything, from making sure replication is OK, client DNS configuration also. Registry modifications from prior Samba NT4 domain were reverted in the client. Are

Hello guys, I am setting up a Samba server (based on CentOS 5.6) on my company which will act as a print and file server. Also, it has dropbox installed. I have set up everything regarding to CUPS and Samba itself, but I'm not being able to integrate my shares with Active Directory. All I want is that access control to Samba shares is made through Active Directory users and their

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
