Re: [Samba] samba printer share
Well, it seems, I've got it at last ... But, my, it's far from being easy, to tell ye the truth! Perhaps, I didn't really need to install HPLIP? And Foomatic? As a matter of fact, I had all sorts of problems mentioned in various UNANSWERED mailing list threads while trying to organize driver upload to MS Win2000 hosts; ended up in "Quota limit reached" and no printing even with super-SUPER-user privilleges. Wanna share some solutions, you know; if any of you guys are being tormented by any of these problems, here is how I did it: 1)If your printer share is not visible in Konqueror's smb:// view, it still can be visible from Windows explorer; nothing to worry about. 2)installing drivers for upload via "rpcclient -adddriver" command ended up(after all) first in WERR_BADFILE, then in WERR_UNKNOWN_PRINTER_DRIVER and nothing could be done about the latter one. 3)Thankfully, for CUPS we have "cupsaddsmb -U root ..." command to install the uploadable Windows drivers; just a bit stumbled at "NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE", which taught me a valuable lesson: it won't heart to get yourself a SAMBA password when working with SAMBA! Even if you think you are a "root" and even have the root password... 4)When at last all was set, the drivers installed and EVEN uploaded on-demand(!!!) , the nasty thing refused to print: "ERROR: Quota limit reached". Such message appeared at localhost:631 (print test page). After about 2 hours of ... I noticed that "lpstat -p" didn't really show my printer, to which the last week of my life was entirely dedicated! So, a very simple operation of reinstalling the printer via web-interface (setting /dev/lp0 instead of /dev/parport0) did it. What do I care now, if the driver upload (alas!) stopped working after that? Even all the Win2000 machines (not even talking about the XP monsters) now can print via SAMBA, and my SUSE-10.1 laptop -- via CUPS! JUST TELL ME NOW, PLEASE, WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING CUPS? It seems, things are easier printing from some Win2000 host. Where can I read about the advantages of CUPS in a short and understandable way? I mean, I beleive in CUPS, just how can I explain it to others? Thank everyone for help and patience, sorry for taking so much space.

Re: [Samba] Samba printer share with Windows
Make it simple. Get a print queue on your Samba server that can handle postscript files. This will need a correct printcap file. Something like this works for me in my printcap: ps|z53:\ sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/z53:mx#0:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :if=/usr/local/lexmark/z53/z53.sh :mc#1 :sh: (hmm... I forget what mc does) Make sure you run checkpc -f, if you are using lprng. Make sure your restart your print server after setting this up. Then, in your smb.conf, have something like this: [ps] comment = Filtered for Z53 path = /tmp read only = No create mask = 0700 guest ok = yes hosts allow = 192.168. printable = Yes printing = lprng print command = echo %J %p %s >> /tmp/junkJ;\ a="`echo '%J' | sed "s/^.*- //"`" ;\ echo This is truncated $a >> /tmp/junkJ;\ /usr/bin/lpr -Pps -J"$a" %s;\ rm %s lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -Pps lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -Pps %j lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc hold ps %j lpresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc release ps %j share modes = No use client driver = yes You don't have to have a fancy print command. But, I do specify all commands. It gets interesting when you realize you can have anything you want for these commnands. If you are using lprng, make sure your /etc/lpd.perms is permissive. Here is all I have in mind, just this one line: DEFAULT ACCEPT Then, on your windows client, select for your printer an HP Laserjet III Plus or something similar sounding. In this way, you should be sending a postscript file to your samba server which should be able to handle postscript files.

[Samba] Samba printer share with Windows
Is there one can give me some information on how to setup printer in Samba so windows can print to it. My file sharing works fine. In winows can't see the printer.
