Re: More questions on Samba Print server
Hi Andreas and Questions to All: Well, I took some of your advice and my system is now printing - thank you! The BSD setup recommendations are much more complicated than a couple of other Samba references which I have been reading...? I had already installed APSFilter last summer, and had a working configuration so I new the success was lurking about somewhere. Trouble is, I have been labouring under the assumption that I should be able to use the print services WITHOUT logging on as a user first. My previous attempts and this one, still require that I first log onto the network as a user. I have been hoping to set it up to be self-logging at time of use. Is it not possible for the printer to be setup using the nobody acount to essentially be a passwordless entry? Does yours work that way? If not - if any other users out there can share some secrets in this regard...? Finally, the printer share comments do not show up anywhere in Windows. My other shares display their comments, the lp on my server has for the comment field ljet4l; r=300x300 Not laser ljet4l on www_server as per my share comment below. Any suggestions what might be going on here?? Thanks Andreas, or to anyone else who can step in with answers. Cheers, My new smb.conf as per most of your suggestions: # smb.conf20060220 - re-write - simplify # # NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command testparm # to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors. # #=== Global Settings = [global] workgroup = DELNORTE encrypt passwords = yes server string = www_server browseable = yes printing = bsd #print command = lpr -s -P %p %s; rm %s hosts allow = 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.101 192.168.1.102 192.168.1.103 wins support = no # Share Definitions == [gn] comment = Soleado WebServer path = /home/gn browseable = yes valid users = gn writeable = yes [wqs] comment = WQS WebServer path = /home/wqs browseable = yes writeable = yes valid users = gn wqs # NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to # specifically define each individual printer [printers] comment = laser ljet4l on www_server path = /var/spool/samba browseable = yes printable = yes guest ok = yes create mode = 700 public = yes #valid users = nobody use client driver = yes Andreas Rudisch wrote: On Tue, 21 Feb 2006 18:49:28 +0100, Graham North [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Andreas - thankyou, I will try something like it. Are you using CUPS or APSFILTER on your BSD machine? Thanks, Graham/ Actually I was just using the handbook to set up my printer: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/printing.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/printing-advanced.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/printing-advanced.html#PRINTING-ADVANCED-PS I am using lpd, the standard spooler, and an input filter in printcap to manage postscript and the staircase effect, then the printing is done by Ghostscript (device=pxlmono). You should be able to do it this way to, if your printer is supported by Ghostscript, which it probably is. You already got the smb.conf-part. -- %cat printcap Kyocera|lp|Kyocera mita FS-1010:\ :sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/Kyocera:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/ifkyocera: -- %cat ifkyocera #!/bin/sh # Treat LF as CR+LF (to avoid the staircase effect on HP/PCL # printers): # printf \033k2G || exit 2 # # Read first two characters of the file # IFS= read -r first_line first_two_chars=`expr $first_line : '\(..\)'` if [ $first_two_chars = %! ]; then # # It is PostScript; use Ghostscript to scan-convert and print it. # /usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pxlmono \ -sOutputFile=- - exit 0 else # # Plain text or HP/PCL, so just print it directly; print a form feed # at the end to eject the last page. # echo $first_line cat printf \033l0H exit 0 fi exit 2 -- I hope this will help a bit.

Please help. I really need Samba Print Server
I'm running -current from mid January. I have Samba3.0a20 Here's my smb.conf [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP nt acl support = no server string = FreeBSD load printers = yes printcap name = /etc/printcap printing = bsd log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 50 security = share socket options = TCP_NODELAY dns proxy = no [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba public = yes print command = lpr -s -P mnta %s ; rm %s # guest ok = yes writeable = yes printable = yes browseable = no # use client driver = yes Most of it is just the default conf. I've tried it with the currently commented lines in and out. I can see the printer in the network neighborhood and set it up on Windows 2000 pcs by clicking on it and following the windows instructions. When I try to print anything, I get no complaint, but nothing ever prints out. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have people breathing down my neck. Thanks.

Windows 2000 and NT try to use SPOOLSS functions, which come with the advanced print client. The quickest fix is to downgrade them all forcibly to LANMANGER clients by adding the disable spoolss = yes options to [global] On Tuesday 04 February 2003 21:57, Greg Pavelcak wrote: I'm running -current from mid January.
