samba and vista computers

2007-03-29 Thread Gerald Freymann
Now that I have my nice new HP OfficeJet 5610 printer here, I'm trying to
print to it remotely (it's connected to my Vista Home Premium computer).

smbclient doesn't seen to want to co-operate.

smbclient in free(): error: junk pointer, too high to make sense
Abort trap: 6 (core dumped)

I've got

samba-3.0.23c_2,1
samba-libsmbclient-3.0.23c

installed. Trying to use CUPS and APSFILTER. Not having any luck :-(

Any suggestions?

I heard that Vista home was not designed for networking. You might be
better served by checking out an MS News forum regarding this problem. I
have often gotten better results regarding the use of MS products with
non-MS products from there.

 Oh no, Vista Home Premium is fine for basic home networks.

 After searching samba.org, I believe issues with Vista and Vista printer
sharing are 'improved upon' in later releases, especially samba-3.0.25
(and we are at 3.0.23).

 Since I can see the shares on the Xp box just fine, but can't see
anything on the Vista box, I think I'll likely end up waiting for a newer
release of Samba and trying again then.

You should update your ports tree. The latest version available is

 Ok, so I've updated my ports tree on my FreeBSD 6.2R system.

 I have managed to install the latest SAMBA3 port and I can now use
smbclient to view the shares on my Vista computer. I can even send print
jobs over to it, but on the Vista box, all I get is ERROR in the queue.

 If I go here:

http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/inkjet_aio.html

 it says sure, HPLIP 0.9.5 supports the HP OfficeJet 5610.

 I got there from here:

http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-OfficeJet_5610

 I don't see HPLIP anywhere in ASPFILTER. Now I'm lost again.

 Mind you, I'm sure it said HPIJS was the best driver to choose, but it
comes up with error messages in the print queue on the Vista box.

 Been up all night trying to figure this out. Time for bed.

 Today I see Staples has a HP OfficeJet OJ5610 Colour 4-in-1 printer on
 at a reasonable price. It's all I need. Since I am soon due to replace
 both of my print cartridges in the Lexmark, I figure I could just as
 easily buy the HP printer instead, but I thought I would run this
 model by the list members to see if it's compatible with FreeBSD,
 likely through CUPS?
 
 Anybody know off hand?
 
 Thanks!

Try this site:

http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi

Just type in your printer info. and see how compatible it is.
This is how I make my choice on the HP photosmart 7660

 Amazing! Exactly what I was looking for. This printer will work just
fine then, using the HPIJS driver. Awesome! Thanks!

Hi,

I'm trying to set up Sendmail to send-only. I just want Sendmail
sends local mails (i.e.: daily security run output) to my SMTP server.

 I just simply edited my /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file directly. Not too far
down is:

# Smart relay host (may be null)
DSyoursmtp.servername.ext

 Then restart sendmail and voila!

Re: Multiple CPUs...verifying

 In my experiences with FreeBSD 4-4.8R, you have to uncomment two lines in
the kernel config file.

# To make an SMP kernel, the next two are needed
optionsSMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
optionsAPIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O

 and then rebuildworld and kernel. 

 World because there are programs that will compile differently if there
are multiple CPU's (at least I think that's right!)

 Kernel for obvious reason.

|O|outline in the handbook.  However, when I try to boot with the new
|O|kernel...it doesn't work.

 I think you're going to have to give more information than it doesn't
work if you expect anybody to attempt to offer advice.

|O|Also, how do you verify whether or not both CPUs have been configured
|O|in the kernel...and that they are in fact being used?

 type:   dmesg |more

 and look through the results. When my dual-cpu loads up, I see where
there 2nd CPU is acknowledged. Even doing a 'top' shows me which CPU is in
use for each program.
