[Samba] cupsaddsmb -v, Warning: PPD file not found?!
Hello all, I am running a Debian testing/unstable system with samba 2.2.3a-6 and cupsys 1.1.15-4 as a member server in a samba domain. I have used CUPS to add a networked HP8100N printer and it works fine locally, but I'm having difficulty adding it to samba for Win98 domain clients to use. I ran cupsaddsmb to add the printer and drivers to samba, but it cannot find the PPD file... where is it looking for this to be??? [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/samba/drivers# cupsaddsmb -a Warning: No PPD file for printer HP8100N! [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/samba/drivers# cupsaddsmb -v HP8100N Warning: No PPD file for printer HP8100N! I have the HP8100N.PPD (generated by CUPS-o-matic) file placed in /usr/share/cups/drivers, /etc/cups/ppd, /etc/samba/drivers, /etc/samba/drivers/WIN40, /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86 ... please help if you can, I have many more questions, but I'd like to first get past this minor one first... where is it looking for the PPD? peace Brian -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Printing w/CUPS, Samba 2.2 - Adobe PS files?
I'm following the Samba HOWTO for CUPS printing, trying to run the 'cupsaddsmb' program but it requires the Adobe PS files. The howto says to get them from www.adobe.com, can anyone be more specific? The files required are: ADFONTS.MFM ADOBEPS4.DRV ADOBEPS4.HLP ADOBEPS5.DLL ADOBESU.DLL ADOBESU.HLP ADOBEPTR2.PPD ICONLIB.DLL I've downloaded the Universal 1.0.6 English 7.4MB winsteng.exe[1] for Windows and got all of the above files except ADOBEPS5.DLL, ADOBEPSU.DLL, and ADOBESU.HLP from c:\windows\system... The AdobePS 4.2.6 for Win9x 1MB aps426eng.exe[2] had even fewer files. Is there a tar/zip archive of these files somewhere? Should they really be placed in /usr/share/cups/drivers while the smb.conf says: [print$] path = /etc/samba/drivers [1] http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1500 [2] http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=527 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] preserving unix-win file permissions for backup via samba?
I am having difficulty in try to preserve permissions on Unix files that are copied from the samba server onto a Windows98 system, and then copied again via samba back to an 'upload' directory on the samba server. Specifically, I am sharing /etc (samba read only) for backup purposes, and while logged in as root on the windows system, I can drag and drop these files to the Windows desktop to back them up. How can I copy them back to the server via samba and still preserve their original unix permissions? 1. Do the files retain their permissions while they sit on a Win98/Fat32 file system? Will a NTFS partition help? I see that my unix umask is 0022 and so all of the files I copy (create) in the samba 'upload' directory inherit -rwxr--r-- perms. When I set my unix umask to then the files inherit -- perms (bad!). What can I do? I tried playing with create mask, security mask, directory mask, etc... thanks, peace Brian -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
