Thanks Geoff for getting back to me. I believe my add printer command is working because net rpc migrate printer commands work fine when run on the samba server. And when I add a printer using the APW from windows it works.

No I didn't. :-( I had no issues at all using the add/remove printer scripts that are in the example docs. So I could add and remove printers from a windows workstation without problems. Make sure that you read through the scripts before use. You can figure out from them where spaces in names are allowed and where they aren't. > Can you please give me some pointers: > I am trying to migrate print queues from a windows server to a samba > share. > > this is what I did: > 1.

Well no such spooler exist AFAIK. I was hoping jerry could spread some enlightenment but he never came back to this thread. I haven't had time to do an ethereal trace on this lately due to server crashes (bad hardware) > Do I need some config in smb.conf? > In smb.conf I have a addprinter command. Jerry reckons that you only need a working add printer command. Have you tested adding a printer by itself, and not using the print migrator? I just assumed that I must be doing something wrong. So I gave up and did each printer manually. > Thanks, > Aarti. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
