A few months ago, I posted about a Linux Documentation Wiki I created
at my company. Well, it's moved. It's now here:
http://linuxwiki.riverworth.com/
There isn't much on it yet except for my wonderful, excellent,
fantastic, LDAP Authentication document:
CUPS Version: 1.1.23-10sarge1
I believe this to be a CUPS problem, but since it only seems to affect
users printing via Samba, perhaps it has been encountered by others here.
I have cups installed and can print to it via Linux just fine. I also
have installed via Samba (via cupsaddsmb) and
I read your posts on samba mailing list.
I have the same problem:
I can print, but I can't open the printer properties page (no driver
message...).
For me also, the drivers are read from samba server e written on
C:\WinNT\System32\spool\drivers\... (I have removed him in advance to
test this).
I was posed the question stated on the subject: Can I use one LDAP
server as authentication backend for many SAMBA Servers?
Easily. I would expect one LDAP server should be able to support
hundreds, perhaps thousands of clients, including samba servers.

so all the information is maintained in one place.
Most everything is good, except that my roaming profiles

Actually, now that I think about it... Perhaps I'm not completely
accurate with that statement.
In fact, when I
Try 'guest ok = yes' - otherwise any slight change in credentials will
block access to the print$ share - and anyway, it shouldn't matter if
an unauthorised user can copy your driver files ;-)
Tried that, but it didn't make any difference.

However, it semes that Samba is NOT substituting the %u in this case
even though it was when LDAP was not in use. At least logon path
and logon home are affected; maybe more.
Okay, guess what! Both %L and %U (capital) get substituted correctly.
I guess I'll just use %U instead of %u -- the

Use %U. Be watch out as this will actually become deprecated
functionality in future releases.
Just figured that out. Thanks!
Why is this being depricated?
Can you try it on an XP box? It sounds like it should work there -
I've yet to find a solution for Win2k.
All my WinXP boxes are behaving the same as the Win2K unit. I just
don't have a fresh install of a WinXP box handy at the moment.
That shouldn't make a difference - it works fine for
Hmmm... I think that's the key point right there. It works, but I
can't _configure_ it!
That could mean that the DLL that provides the configuration tabs isn't
initialising properly. When you deleted the printer and tried to
re-add it, did you also uninstall the driver from the Windows box?

It's the smb.conf settings that aren't getting the

Lower '%u' can only be used in a share (as a general rule).

If I right-click on an executable program (like a DOS batch file) that
resides on a samba share and set properties like full screen, that
property is remembered on the machine with which I made the change.
However, if I go to another machine and run that file, it uses the default
properties.
I think you need to make a short cut to the bat file. I do not think that
DOS executables ever store this info by default. I have done this before.
I think it's either just a short cut or a pif file. You then specify the
screen, memory and other setting via the shortcut which then

(assuming eth0 is samba lan interface?) then you can see what is

Okay... Done. Below is the tcpdump from the time that I got the
error dialog while logging in until I initiated the logoff.
so if you reboot you get a successful logon? xp -pre sp1 ?
Usually, yes. I did get one case where it did not but the computer had been
on for a while before I tried to log on.
SP1 was installed. I just did another update of all critical updates but
it made no difference. After I reboot, I
