Re: [Samba] sharing a printer
I solved my CUPS printing issues by installing an HP Jet-DirectX 3-port Print Server. Setup was quick, easy and I was printing from all three printers in less than 20 minutes. Not only from Linux/windows, but even from my freinds iBook.

Re: [Samba] Sharing a Secondary Hard Drive
Justin McCullough wrote: I just recently installed a second hard drive in my Samba server with the hopes of sharing it with the rest of my home network. It seems like Samba can not get the correct permissions to the drive, however. I have the drive mounted under /media/public, and when I try to map a share directly to it and open the share with a client, I get an NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME error. When I map the share to /media and try the client again, I can see the cdrom folder, but not public. I have also tried scp and ftp using /media/public, and they both work fine, so it doesn't seem like a common case of poor permission settings.

Re: [Samba] Printer Issue with Access XP
Cyrille, Personally.. I would say scrap Samba printing as a printing solution between linux/unix and XP and install a dedicated print server. HP, Linksys and D-Link all make very good, reliable solutions that are very easy to setup and configure. This will save you a great deal of time, energy and headaches. Just my opinion, mind you.

[Samba] Samba.. not worth a f*** for printing
I have had it.. I have come to the butt-ugly conclusion that samba is nothing more than a clusterf**k for cross platform printing. I have been trying for 2 years to talk between my windows and linux printers to no avail. I am convinced now that despite my numerous requests from this group, even, that there isn't a sole who knows how to get samba printing to work.

[Samba] Printers and other stuff
Well.. okay. Only printers. I am still having issues (pains, actually) getting my pritner shares to work from either Linux OR Windows 2000. One of the things I see here is that the majority of users use CUPS as the printing daemon. From my previous Unix experieince, I have gravitated towards BSD as my printing daemon. Could this be the reason I am having trouble Does Samba work better with CUPS as opposed to BSD? Inquiring minds want to know.

[Samba] Samba and W2K printer issues
I posted this query a couple of days ago and received no responses. SInce that time, some other info has come to light that I thought would be useful to helping to solve this porblem. My network consists of a firewall machine networked with a SuSE 7.2 workstation and a Windows 2000 workstation. My smb.conf file is below: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2003/11/24 00:43:32 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = PENGUINIX security = user browsable = yes guest account = guest encrypt passwords = yes ;wins service = yes wins support = Yes path = /smb/Delorme local master = yes [joec] comment = Personal network share path = /smb/joec read only = No [peggyc] comment = Personal network share path = /smb/peggyc read only = No [pr1] printable = yes printcap name = /etc/printcap print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s ;printer driver = dj1 printer = dj1 printing = BSD path = /var/tmp valid users = joec peggyc root administrator min print space = 2000 I can see dj1 (linux printer - HP640c) from the Windows desktop. When I try to print to it (i.e. test page), I receive an error spooling the document to the printer. I am connecting the printer through an TCP/IP port. I have checked permissions on the w2k side, and everything appears to be setup to allow printing. When I check the status of the spool on the linux side, the lock file is being generated, and the stauts shows the printer as being ready and available for printing.

[Samba] smbprint
While trying to configure my *nix box to print to windows, I discovered my samba build does not have the smbprint utility. I saw no option in the configure/make script to build with the smprint utility. Is there an option that will build this tool? Thanks!

[Samba] smbmount and credentials file
I have a small LAN: SuSE 7.2 with Samba 3.0 and a W2K box. What I can do: I can create shares from the W2K box that make files from the Linux box visible. I can also manually mount (using % smbmount ... ) from the command line as root. Here is where I run into problems. The only way I can mount a partition via smbmount is if I use the username=user%passwd option. If I attempt to setup a .smbpw file, I am prompted for the password of the user I am attempting to create the mountpoint for. For example: % smbmount //w2k_srv/fred /smb/fred -o credentials=/root/.smbpw_fred,uid-fred,pid=fred,fmask=664,dmask=775 Password: Upon entring the password for user fred, the mount point is created and the file are accessible. The .smbpw_fred file looks like this: fred%passwd Likewise, if I attempt to edit the /etc/fstab entry with the following line: //w2k_srv/fred/smb/fred smbfs username=fred%passwd, uid=fred, gid=fred, fmask=664, dmask=775 0 0 I get an error that the fstab has an error at the line that references the samba mount point. Any ideas here? This is the last thing i need to get samba fully functional on my LAN. Everything else has been a piece of cake!

[Samba] adding network printer in W2K
I have my network printer configured under Samba. When I logon to W2K, I can see the printer, but I am unable to open the printer to spool files. I get the message that I must install the pritner driver in order for it to work. ANy suggestions?

[Samba] Samba and printers and god knows what else...
Okay.. this is REALLY starting to p*** me off here! Attached is my smb.conf file: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2003/11/21 18:09:25 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = PENGUINIX guest account = guest wins support = Yes [joec] comment = Personal network share path = /home/joec/smb_share read only = No [peggyc] comment = Personal network share path = /home/peggyc/smb_share read only = No [printer1] path = /var/spool/lp1 hosts allow = 192.168.2.101 min print space = 2000 printable = Yes printing = bsd print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s I can see my (printer/disk) shares on linux land and from w2k land. When I go to my w2k box, I can see the printer (printer1), and I have the correct printer drivers installed. When I double click on the icon to try a test page, I get the following error: printer1 on Clyde Access Denied, unable to connect When I attmept to test through smbclient, I get: smb: \ print quay.txt Error opening local file quay.txt The previous fix sent to me to check the Adobe drivers had no effect. This is simply an access/permissions issue. I am using BSD as my printer spool mechanism. Any suggestions?
