[Samba] Installing printer drivers makes W2K misbehave
Hi, I've been trying to install printer drivers to a newly setup Debian 3.1 system, using Samba 3.0.14. This system is configured to lookup users in LDAP, and I've configured it so that the procedure as outlined in the HOWTO to add printers using the NT etc Add Printer Wizard works[1]. However, when I next try to add a printer which has had its driver configured in that way to that same system, it starts exhibiting strange behaviour. I've had printers that work perfectly from most applications, but of which the driver makes explorer.exe produce an incorrect instruction when I try to print a Windows Test Page. I've had printers that make explorer produce incorrect instructions when I browse to the printer queue dialog window. These errors are 100% reproducible on a per-driver basis, but different drivers produce different behaviour. At first I thought it was an error in the drivers; but I've seen this happen with three different printer models of two different brands now (two brother models; I don't recall what the other brand was, and don't have access to that network at this time), and I'm starting to think it's probably something else; but I'm not sure where to look anymore. Any hints?

[Samba] Installing Printer drivers
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I've a Samba PDC ( samba-server-3.0.6-4.2.100mdk ) My cleint machines are all XP Pro without SP2. I've never been able to get Samba to accept a printer driver for download to client machines. How can I achieve this? Note that this will not be an easy question to answer. I've already succeeded at installing pass-through printing and CUPS printing but both suck. I suppose it is CUPS that actually sux. Anyway, I want my printer to work identically to a Windows printer, i.e. users should be able to manipulate properties etc. If I can get help figureing this one out, I'll be very happy to add it to my HOWTO at http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/SambaThreeDomainController Jim C. - -- - - | I can be reached on the following Instant Messenger services: | |---| | MSN: j_c_llings @ hotmail.com AIM: WyteLi0n ICQ: 123291844 | |---| | Y!: j_c_llingsJabber: jcllings @ njs.netlab.cz| - - -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBtN5d57L0B7uXm9oRAs8LAJ0R7DtkhaiHgJD5XlVrP+FsmFLyQwCfTqo8 SrMJsej2kWaiLagvmCrtRIQ= =2UX2 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Installing printer Drivers into [print$]
Hi, I am trying to install the a HP 4100 printer driver to samba(2.2) from a xp machine. I have download the driver from HP site. I am following the instruction on the HOWTO by Open the Windows Explorer, open Network Neighborhood, browse to the Samba host, open Samba's Printers folder, right-click on the printer icon and select Properties, then prompted with The 'printer name' printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now? click NO, Click on New Driver to install a new printer driver , then the APW starts up. I picked the HP 4100 driver from the list and prompted with window asking me to specify the driver location. ( but windows xp comes with 4100 driver and i did tcp/ip printer install and it went fine. ) anyway, i go download the HP 4100 driver and locate it in the above step, it complains with 'windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver.' i am really baffled.. what did i do wrong ? many thanks, Qiang ___ Do you Yahoo!?

[Samba] installing printer drivers through APW problematic
Hi, I'm part of an organization managing Windows clients with a couple of GNU/Linux servers. We're having some trouble configuring our Samba 3 Debian Linux server. It's just a domain member with authentification done with a Windows AD Domain Controller, it's supposed to be our new print server. The printers have already been set up for lprng. Whenever trying to add a driver to any printer throught the Add Printer Driver Wizard on a Windows client, with a username part of the 'print admin' group, we get this error message: Unable to install HP Lazerjet 4000 Series PCL 6, Windows 2000, Intel Driver.

[Samba] Installing printer drivers
Hi, I'm trying to copy printer driver files to the server in a way that workstations can install from the server just by right-clicking on the printer icon and choosing Install. I created the [printers] share and created the W32X86, etc directories. In XP I right-clicked on the printer icon and installed the drivers. It looked like it worked. Looking at it from the linux side, I can see the other directories created under the ones I made and the printer driver files are there. However when I right click on the icon from Win98, it asks for the driver disk. Here is part of the smb.conf: [global] comment = Home based server server string = Samba Server v2.2.7 SNIP printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes printing = bsd disable spoolss = no printer admin = administrator, @ntadmin, root [print$] available = yes comment = Printer Drivers path = /home/samba/printers browseable = yes guest ok = Yes read only = yes write list = @ntadmin, administrator, root [HP990] available = yes comment = HP990 Color Printer path = /var/spool/lpd/lp0 print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p stop queueresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p start guest ok = yes public = yes printer = lp0 writable = no printable = yes browsable = yes create mask = 0777 use client driver = no write list = @ntadmin, administrator, root Thanks -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
