[Samba] samba3, network printing, additional problems
Hello, First of all my thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I'm still having an issue getting this network printer going. I'm now getting a windows error from explorer.exe, i've checked all the windows system, application, and security logs and of course the error is not in them. I then turned samba's debug level to 10, reloaded it and tried again to access the printer. This error with explorer only occurs when i right click on the printer and select properties to add the driver. I'd like to use apw but i do need to get this working. Does anyone have this particular printer, an hp5550, working in a setting like this? I am trying to figure out what specific driver files are needed so i can pass them to rpcclient. It looks like the drivers on disk are in some kind of compressed form. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave. The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

[Samba] Re: samba3, cups, and pointprint drivers install
Hello, Thanks for that info. I don't see a printing defaults button on the advanced tab of the printer in question on the samba server. Again, i navigate to that folder, right click the printer, click properties, answer no, then go to the advanced tab, and new driver. This is on a 2k box if that matters. My shares print$ and printers are below. Thanks. Dave.

I want to use this machine for both local and network printing. On the local side apps can print just fine, the cups configuration is working great. Network-side is not the case. I've got a mixture of 2k and 9x clients, so i'm going to need drivers for both configurations. In smb.conf i've got: printcap name = cups printing = cups load printers = yes I'm logging on to a 2k box as an administrator, in smbusers i have the 2k administrator mapped to the root user and an entry for root in smbpasswd. I can navigate to the machine, i go to the printers share, right click the printer, go to properties, say no to load the driver, then go to the advanced tab, new driver, install the driver from the hp rom, that appears to go fine, however when i click the ok or apply button i get the message driver settings could not be saved. They're going in /etc/samba/drivers with permissions of 775, the share is owned by root and group of ntadmin who has write access to the share, other than that it is a read only share. I've also explicitly added root to the Linux ntadmin group. I'm not sure where to debug this, i'm not getting anything useful in cups.log and my cups is listening on the localhost port 631. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks. Dave. I read this in the Samba HowTo, maybe it will help: http://samba.vernstok.nl/htmldocs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#id2929652 Print Options for All Users Can't Be Set on Windows 200x/XP How are you doing it? I bet the wrong way (it is not easy to find out, though). There are three different ways to bring you to a dialog that seems to set everything. All three dialogs look the same, yet only one of them does what you intend. You need to be Administrator or Print Administrator to do this for all users. Here is how I do in on XP: 1.. The first wrong way: 1.. Open the Printers folder. 2.. Right-click on the printer (remoteprinter on cupshost) and select in context menu Printing Preferences... 3.. Look at this dialog closely and remember what it looks like. 2.. The second wrong way: 1.. Open the Printers folder. 2.. Right-click on the printer (remoteprinter on cupshost) and select the context menu Properties. 3.. Click on the General tab. 4.. Click on the button Printing Preferences... 5.. A new dialog opens. Keep this dialog open and go back to the parent dialog. 3.. The third, and the correct way: 1.. Open the Printers folder. 2.. Click on the Advanced tab. (If everything is grayed out, then you are not logged in as a user with enough privileges). 3.. Click on the Printing Defaults... button. 4.. On any of the two new tabs, click on the Advanced... button. 5.. A new dialog opens. Compare this one to the other identical looking one from B.5 or A.3. Do you see any difference? I don't either. However, only the last one, which you arrived at with steps C.1.-6., will save any settings permanently and be the defaults for new users. If you want all clients to get the same defaults, you need to conduct these steps as Administrator (printer admin in smb.conf) before a client downloads the driver (the clients can later set their own per-user defaults by following the procedures A or B above).

[Samba] samba3 and cups printserver
Hello, I've got an rh9 box which i am using for printing. I've got cups configured and my printer is working fine. Originally, i intended to use samba 2.2.x for printing, but then i saw that 3.0 was out so i installed it's rpm instead. My first of many questions, for printing to work correctly, samba and cups, what must be specified in terms of the printing line in smb.conf, bsd or lpRNG? Thanks. Dave.

[Samba] samba time server
Hello, I'm trying to set up a Linux, rh9, webserver with samba support, so that user's can make the pages on their windows boxes and drop them right on the server. I'm having one problem, when the user connects Dreamweaver, MX version, gives an error about can not determine the server time. I've added: time server = yes to the global section of my smb.conf file, but this didn't solve the issue. I'm not even sure if this is an appropriate question for this list, so i'm just throwing it out there. Any ideas? Thanks. Dave. The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

[Samba] smbd/nmbd consuming system resources.
Hello, Running samba 2.2.6 on a FreeBSD 4.7 box, which is a p166 with 48 mb of ram. Before i start nmbd/smbd my load average is around 0.1 or so. When i start samba load average jumps to 3.01+, shut down the processes, have to use the -9 option to killall and the resources revert to normal. Checking top output i find that there are 3/4 smbd and nmbd processes, is this normal? Also, any ideas why the high system load? Thanks. Dave.

[Samba] samba not showing all files.
Hello, I've got a web server with samba running on it. The idea is i have a samba web share to which users can put web pages. My problem is none of the files are being shown, i have 5 folders and 24 files, only the five folders show up in a network neighborhood view. I've checked permissions, all the users can place content in that location, but the files are not visible. samba 2.2.6, any ideas? Thanks. Dave.

[Samba] unable to join samba domain.
Hello, I'm trying to join several windows clients to a samba pdc. I've got local, prefered, and domain master all set to yes, workgroup set, and domain logons also set to yes. I've got a machine account in /etc/master.passwd, this is being done on a FreeBSD 4.7-release box, and a machine account in the smbpasswd file along with a root account. When i try to join the domain i get an error 53, the network path can not be found. If, from one of my clients, i do a net view i get the same thing: error 53. Can anyone give me some pointers as to what i missed? I've set up samba domains before, using 2.2.1, without difficulty, i'm now trying it with 2.2.6. Thanks. Dave.

[Samba] restricting interfaces.
Hello, I've got samba running on a FreeBSD box that has two interfaces, ep0 which is an external interface, and ep1 which is for internal use only. I only want samba to listen on ep1 so if i'm ever portscanned port 137/139 will not show up as open on the external interface. I've added these lines to the global section of my smb.conf file: hosts allow=192.168.0. interfaces=192.168.0.0/16 127.0.0.1 bind interfaces only=yes yet when i restart samba port 139 is still showing as open on my external interface, what did i miss?

[Samba] setting up cups and samba for printer exporting.
Hi, I'm trying to set up a FreeBSD print server for my internal network so that my single hp deskjet 812c can be used by any machine. I've set up cups 1.1.12 package on my fbsd box which also installed cups-base and cups-lpr. Before i did this i baacked up/removed the native fbsd printing binaries. Ok, so now i've got cups configured, it wrote out a single line printcap, and i was able to successfully print a test page from the fbsd box, so cups is working. On to samba, v2.2. I followed the instructions in the cups administrator's manual but my printer didn't show up as expected, i had to change the printcap name from cups to /etc/printcap in smb.conf before i saw my printer. I then tried to access it via network neighborhood, and it said it couldn't be accessed because it needed drivers, which i allowed windows to provide. I then tried to print a test page and it said it couldn't, but gave me no error log. I'm not sure what significance the adobe post script drivers have as i don't have a postscript printer, it's only an inkjet, i also didn't find all the referenced drivers the cups admin manual refered to. The relevant portions of my smb.conf look like the following: [global] printcap=/etc/printcap printing=cups ;printcap name=cups printer admin=@ntadmin [print$] path=/opt/samba/printers browsable=yes read only=yes write list=@ntadmin [printers] path=/opt/samba/printers browsable=yes printable=yes guest ok=yes If anyone has a similar setup or any suggestions, or the direct url on those adobe drivers, please email me.
