Kurt, thank for taking the time to answer my questions. I very much appreciate it, and of course, you've opened my eyes up to a new part of the learning curve by introducing me to new and effective ways to use of the rpcclient command.
Your suggestions have help me to get it working. However, let me reply: On Tuesday 18 November 2003 13:10, Kurt Pfeifle wrote: > What does "IAW" mean?

You are correct, I should have been more specific.

When I first issued this command there were two commas - despite the fact that I had previously associated drivers (and installed them) with this printer share. The entry as it looks now is as such: #rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumprinters" SUPERSERVER Password: flags:[0x800000] name:[\\superserver\irl] description:[\\superserver\irl,Lexmark Optra T614,Main Lab Lexmark Printer] comment:[Main Lab Lexmark Printer] > rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumdrivers" SUPERSERVER # rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumdrivers " SUPERSERVER Password: [Windows NT x86] Printer Driver Info 1: Driver Name: [Lexmark Optra T614] > rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumdrivers 2" SUPERSERVER # rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumdrivers 2" SUPERSERVER Password: [Windows NT x86] Printer Driver Info 2: Version: [3] Driver Name: [Lexmark Optra T614] Architecture: [Windows NT x86] Driver Path: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMPCL2A.DLL] Datafile: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMPCL2AC.DLL] Configfile: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMPCL2AC.DLL] > rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumdrivers 3" SUPERSERVER # rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumdrivers 3" superserver Password: [Windows NT x86] Printer Driver Info 3: Version: [3] Driver Name: [Lexmark Optra T614] Architecture: [Windows NT x86] Driver Path: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMPCL2A.DLL] Datafile: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMPCL2AC.DLL] Configfile: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMPCL2AC.DLL] Helpfile: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMPCLNA.HLP] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\mergepfm.dfm] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\C910BM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\C750BM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\E32XBM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\T62XBM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\J110BM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\C720BM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\T61XBM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\C710BM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\W820BM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\W810BM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\M410BM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\E855BM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\OC1200BM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\K1220BM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\SC1275BM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\OPTRASBM.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMPCLTHK.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMHB.HLP] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMHBNDX.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMHBNDD1.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMPCL2AX.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMPCL2DD.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LEXUNST.ZIP] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\PTZIPW32.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LEXEDF.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMNET2PP.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LEXDRVX.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LEXCFI.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMPCL2A.ALL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LEXDRVIN.EXE] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\DRVNPANT.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LEXMV95.HLP] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\PTRESW32.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\PTGUIW32.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\PTAPIW32.DLL] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMPCLHOW.HLP] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMPCLNA.CNT] Dependentfiles: [\\superserver\print$\W32X86\3\LMPCL2A$.INI] Monitorname: [] Defaultdatatype: [RAW] > rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumports" SUPERSERVER # rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumports" SUPERSERVER Password: Port Name: [Samba Printer Port] > This checks if Samba exports the kind of stuff Windows clients are > looking for.... I had read over a number of the man pages and other documentation including John T. excellent book, but was not familiar with this use of the rpcclient command. I found (and find) them to be extremely useful tools, and will have to reread the man pages. I recognized that familiarity with the command line tools that allow you to get to Samba's underbelly really helps in resolving problems.

I've taken your advice, and made the modifications to my smb.conf file and all works well now. Again thanks for your help. For those who follow in my footsteps, and use the sambalist archives to resolve problems I'll repost my smb.conf file. It looks like this: [global] netbios name = superserver workgroup = WINZOMBIES os level = 99 preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes security = user domain logons = yes logon path = \\%L\%U\profile logon drive = H: logon home = \\%L\%U logon script = startup.bat guest account = nobody map to guest = bad user time server = yes admin users = root smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m printing = lprng printcap name = /etc/cups/printcap load printers = yes show add printer wizard = yes printer admin = @ntadmin root gardiner lpq cache time = 20 use client driver = no [netlogon] path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon read only = yes write list = ntadmin [profiles] path = %H/profile read only = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Driver Download Area path = /etc/samba/drivers browseable = yes guest ok = yes read only = yes write list = @ntadmin, root, gardiner [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba public = yes guest ok = yes browseable = no writable = no printable = yes create mode = 0700 [irl] path=/tmp comment = Main Lab Lexmark Printer browseable = yes printable = yes public = yes create mode = 0700 lpq command = lpq -Plp-std lprm command = lprm -Plp-std %j print command = /irus/bin/lpr -r -h -Plp-std %s [special_printer] comment = A special printer with his own settings path = /var/spool/samba-special printing = sysv printcap = lpstat print command = echo "NEW: `date`: printfile %f" >> /tmp/smbprn.log ; \ echo " `date`: p-%p s-%s f-%f" >> /tmp/smbprn.log ; \ echo " `date`: j-%j J-%J z-%z c-%c" >> /tmp/smbprn.log : rm %f public = no guest ok = no writeable = no printable = yes printer admin = gardiner hosts deny = 0.0.0.0 hosts allow = 10.1.1.1 There is one more issue I need to solve to get samba 3.0.1pre3 working perfectly on Solaris9 but I'll post that question in an other email.
