You change the settings on the server with a user who has SePrintOperatorPrivileges ( see http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/rights.html ) in most caes Administrator. when changes are made, they are for all users. users can override the settings with there own settings of the printer. >4.

I can't answer the other questions, but I do have some instructions for setting the default paper size (note these instructions were written for XP): After you click "Finish" and the driver is copied, select "Properties" on the printer. Say "No" when it asks if you want to install the driver. Go to the "Advanced" tab and select the driver from the dropdown list. Click "OK" and the name of the printer will change to show the driver you just installed. Right-click the printer again. On the General Tab set it back to its original name. Select "Properties" again and go back into the "Advanced" tab. Now there is a new option "Printing Defaults". Click "Advanced on the Printing Defaults page. NOW you can choose the default options for your users - like A4 paper size. Nasty, isn't it? > Can someone tell me which are the components that store the print > properties?

Re: [Samba] (Trying) to understand Print properties saving
I have a similar issue with Ubuntu 12.04 based system , not sure of Samba version but it keeps changing default paper to Postscript custom which seems almost square. I change it in windows and apply and it always reverts to postscript custom again On Tue, Jan 1, 2013 at 5:01 PM, Alessandro Dentella wrote: > > Hi, > > some weeks ago I wrote to this list about a problem I have saving print > properties (samba 3.4.7 - ubuntu-lucid + XP-pro) > > I never managed to solve it, I also tried with samba 3.6+ (Ubuntu precise) > but had aother problems I wrote about in this list ending opening a bug > [1]. > > Now I had to go back to my 3.4.7 installation.

[Samba] (Trying) to understand Print properties saving
Hi, some weeks ago I wrote to this list about a problem I have saving print properties (samba 3.4.7 - ubuntu-lucid + XP-pro) I never managed to solve it, I also tried with samba 3.6+ (Ubuntu precise) but had aother problems I wrote about in this list ending opening a bug [1]. Now I had to go back to my 3.4.7 installation. I'd like at least to bettere understand how print properties work so that I can cope better with the situation. In my setup the drivers are distributed by the server, client do realize they need the driver and server correctly serves them, the problem is that the page format is alwayes set to 'letter' rather than 'A4'. I have roaming profiles. I really need to fix this even thought some workaround. Can someone tell me which are the components that store the print properties? If this is already explained somewhere, please give me the URL, I wasn't able to find it. 1. If I browse \\server\(server and fax) and I configure properties, where are the changes saved? 2. When an end user configures the printer where does ther properties should go (I have roaming profiles)? In the profile? in a registry? 3. If the domain/local Administrator changes the properties in the printer on the client via settings | printers how does that change relate to settings in 1 and 2? 4. In a working setup, is there a way to force the paper format *after* a user has already logged in and changed the properties? thanks in advance for any explanation thanks sandro *:-) [1] https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9468 -- Sandro Dentella *:-) http://www.reteisi.org Soluzioni libere per le scuole http://sqlkit.argolinux.orgSQLkit home page - PyGTK/python/sqlalchemy -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
