After realizing my CUPS printername in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf must be the same as my samba printer sharename (I don't think it says that anywhere in any HOWTO, correct me if I'm wrong though) I am now getting to the printer resource but... Using Samba 3.0.1 and attempting to connect to a samba cups printer with Win2000 I am getting the following samba error: Returning domain sid for

I've been banging my head against some printing problems that I've been having for quite a while. This weekend I am migrating an old server to new hardware and a new base OS, but the version of Samba and CUPS remain the same. Because of this I moved all the config files and the contents of /var/cache/samba from the old server to the new. (Foreshadowing: this was a mistake, but not a

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 am quite sure this question has been asked before but I can't find anything in the archive and Google does not turn up anything useful. I have Fedora Core 5 with an HP LaserJet 5L printer connected to the LPT port. I also have the CUPS printer queue shared. I am trying to setup up a Windows XP laptop with wlan on my home network to be able to print to that printer. I have little

In my setup I'm running Samba 3.0.23d-19.2 and CUPS 1.2.7-12.1. Printing from a windows-client works fine, until I instruct CUPS to add a banner-page. The banner-page then is the only thing that gets printed. Doing the same from Linux everything works fine. I get my job including a banner-page. The Windows-printjob is passed raw from Samba to CUPS... Anyone has an idea? Best, Johannes

I'm using Samba 3.0.7 with the printername_and_queue_update.patch (http://samba.org/~jerry/patches/post-3.0.7) from Jerry and cups as the print spooler. For every printer, where the samba printername and the cups printer name differs, i get errormessages like the following: [2004/10/25 16:30:00, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_queue_get(900) Unable to get jobs for

Hello all, I am running a Debian testing/unstable system with samba 2.2.3a-6 and cupsys 1.1.15-4 as a member server in a samba domain. I have used CUPS to add a networked HP8100N printer and it works fine locally, but I'm having difficulty adding it to samba for Win98 domain clients to use. I ran cupsaddsmb to add the printer and drivers to samba, but it cannot find the PPD file... where is

Hello, we have a Samba 4 AD with cups as printing server. Windows clients can download driver via samba and nearly all is fine. Expect the cups log on http://dc1:631/printers/Printername?which_jobs=completed Name is always "unkown" and Owner is always "withheld" is there a way to log windows username how print the job? Best Regards,

I don't know which software to blame. Two of my Windows XP users get an extra page of output every time they print to our HP 8500 color laserjet. The driver is in print$ on the server. I do not believe that _all_ of the XP users are having the problem, which is strange. But it's wasting a lot of paper and they are complaining. If it's SAMBA do you guys have any ideas how I

We have been using CUPS to handle printing and have run into some "features" some of which a fresh install of the responsible server will probably fix. However there are some disparities between the documentation and our practical experience for which a clear statement would help others. The docs state when using CUPS the relevent lines of SMB.CONF should look like this: printing=cups

Cups 1.2.7 Debian Etch with Samba 3.0.24 Clients: WinXP SP3 (with Firewall completely off for testing) When I define a printer specifically in smb.conf, they show up as shared printers in WinXP. But when I follow the normal way (see below) to load all from cups they don't. I followed mainly the latest SAMBA-HOWTO (chapter 21-22) The only error I see in log.smbd when accessing the

I have added an HP Deskjet 600 to my debian etch system, using CUPS. It is working fine. I would like to set it up so that I can occassionally print to it from a Windows 9x machine. This is where I seem to be having trouble. I consulted the HOW-TO docs on the samba site, but they are quite detailed and confusing (for me). I don't want to do anything that will cause the printer to work

I am trying to print from both a Win98 PC via Samba and a Red Hat 8.0 workstation to an HP 4 Plus printer that is connected to a Red Hat 8.0 server. I have managed to get the Win98 PC working OK, but am having difficulty with the RH8 workstation. I set the printer up using a browser with <Server>:631, calling it HP4Plus, and I can send a test print from the browser on the RH8 box via

hi all and thanks in advance for reading this i have worked with samba for a while, sharing drives on my linux boxes and all went well until now. now, i tried to share a printer. 1 i setup a printer in a box with cups. the printer is working fine in that host printing everything as it is told. 2 i tried to share the printer to: 2.1 one windows wrokstation in the lan

how do i print directly to another computer's LPT port? printing via GDI is no problem. i have application that must print directly to LPT ports on several computers. on local printer, there's no problem, but i can't access LPT port on another computer. in windows, i could simply map it to LPT2, and use the LPT2 "net use LPT2: \\servername\printername" or in my

I've had a Samba 3.0.2 Print Server running for nearly 7 months now without too much of a hitch on RedHat Enterprise "ES" 3.0. Late last week, RedHat issued an Errata that moved Samba from the 3.0.2 base to the 3.0.4 base. So when I did the "up2date" this weekend as part of my normal maintenance, this server was updated and everything appeared to be fine. Things are

hello, i'm using samba 3.0.0beta2-1 on Debian.with passdb backend = ldapsam and printing = cups. in the past Samba 2.0.5 i'm using printing = bsd and define my printers in the /etc/printcap. additional i define own printers to create pdf - files. Now i'm using cups. everything works fine with printers defined on cups ( automatic driver installation, printing ... )., but printing (

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.
