Hi Buchan and All,

: Did you join the domain? I assume it's a windows (NT or 2k?)
: domain?

Yes it is joined to the NT PDC. wbinfo -t says secret is good.

: The default is "\", comment it out rather, as it's quite
: difficult to get it right (you must have the quotes). Also,
: for ACLs etc, it might be worthwhile disabling 'winbind use
: default domain', at least to test ...

I think the mismatched winbind separator is the cause. I made write_list and
print_admin @"MyDomain\Print Admins" and the winbdin separator to "\".

: This looks a bit suspect ... the one below for your hp5p loks
: right
: >  print command = lp -d %p -o raw %s; rm -f %s

Thanks I copied that from Samba Essentials for Windows Administrator 8( But
I'm able to print on the LM9.0 box.

: You should use /var/spool/samba here unless you reall know what
: you are doing. Anyway, in most cases you don't need per-printer
: config, unless your printing defaults (in [printers]) are wrong.

Thanks I changed that as well. I now successfully uploaded the W2K drivers
from a W2K workstation. But can't upload NT4.0 drivers. I tried on a NT4.0
workstation it says they are uploaded, but I checked the directory. It's
empty. Do you know why? Also I can't upload drivers by browsing server
properties in printers. I can only do it by selecting the printer then add
new driver. The books tells me otherwise.

Also the print job from a windows machine prints out a page with some PJL
commands, then a page of the print out and then some garbage. I assume this
is driver's fault. Can it be because I have a Raw device setup in CUPS? They
don't offer the printer driver (HP5P) when I choose add printer. I needed to
select RAW device initially?

I hope I'm not getting too annoying. And thank you in advance for your
patience and expert advice.

Regards,
Norman
