Hello, I set up Samba as an PDC. I generated shares and printershares. I browsed my network over the Networkneighborhood down to my Sambaserver. There I can see all File and Printershares. I doubleclicked Which client Win OS are you using? Client OS from Win NT 4.0 SP6a,W2K SP3/4, XP SP? the printerfolder where I then can see only shared printers and one folder calld new printer. I then rightclicked a shared printer and went to the process for uploading the printerdriver in the Sambaserver. So far so good. Everything is ok. No errors Now i will install the printer on the client machine. One way is to browse the Networkneighborhood. So I browsed one folder up, there where I can see printer- and fileshares. I rightclick the printer for wich I first installed the drivers in the server and choosed connect. The drivers were downloaded from the server and printer is installed an the client. The client is able to print correctly. Browsing the Network is one way to install a printer on a client. And this is the recomended way in the HOWTO Yes, i read your HOWTO. An other way to install a printer on a client is to use the controlpanal. Well, at least in the HOWTO this is nowhere recommended... (It is even in a pure MS Windows environment a much slower way to do it, if you have more than a few dozen PCs and printers...) This doesn't say that there might not be a bug with that part of the Samba-Code, however...) OK, but since I installed Samba3 - Samba3pre3, I noticed, that application get problems when changing the printer within the application. An example: If I try choos Print in PowerPoint,Excel,Autocad or Coreldraw, and I then try to change the printer, it tooks a long time till the new printer is excepted. In pre2 the applications crashed. So I thought, that I try to find out, what different I have made between Samba2 and 3. And the only thing I could find is, that I can't see my PDC when I try to install a printer over the controlpanel. So I clicked the startbutton on the client, went to the controlpanel, clicked Printers, clicked Add new Printer, choosed Networkprinter, left the printername empty to search for the printer, clicked continue button, and then -- there I can see the domain, some clients wich belong to the domain and wich offers printer, but not my samba server. You'd need to post your smb.conf (minus comments) to get more advice on that Here it is : # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 192.168.135.103 (192.168.135.103) # Date: 2003/11/15 15:01:46 # Global parameters [global] unix charset = ISO8859-1 workgroup = IBV server string = Datei- und Druckserver Frankfurt passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://localhost:389 printcap name = CUPS add user script = /usr/bin/smbldap-useradd.pl -a %u delete user script = /usr/bin/smbldap-userdel.pl %u add group script = /usr/bin/smbldap-groupadd.pl %g delete group script = /usr/bin/smbldap-groupdel.pl %u add user to group script = /usr/bin/smbldap-groupmod.pl -m %u %g delete user from group script = /usr/bin/smbldap-groupmod.pl -x %u %g set primary group script = /usr/bin/smbldap-usermod.pl -g gid %u add machine script = /usr/bin/smbldap-useradd.pl -w %u domain logons = Yes os level = 65 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes wins support = Yes ldap suffix = dc=voes,dc=de ldap machine suffix = ou=computer ldap user suffix = ou=benutzer ldap group suffix = ou=gruppen ldap idmap suffix = dc=voes,dc=de ldap admin dn = cn=ldmin,dc=voes,dc=de ldap ssl = no write list = root printer admin = root create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 map acl inherit = Yes inherit permissions = Yes inherit acls = Yes printing = cups print command = lpr -r -oraw -P%p %s lpq command = lpq -P%p lprm command = lprm -P%p %j [netlogon] path = /daten/netlogon admin users = root browseable = No [profile] path = /daten/profiles read only = No guest ok = Yes [print$] path = /var/lib/samba/drivers admin users = root read only = No create mask = 0664 map acl inherit = No strict locking = No [printers] path = /tmp printable = Yes browseable = No printing = cups print command = lpr -r -oraw -P%p %s lpq command = lpq -P%p lprm command = lprm -P%p %j [netlogon] path = /daten/netlogon admin users = root browseable = No [profile] path = /daten/profiles read only = No guest ok = Yes [print$] path = /var/lib/samba/drivers admin users = root read only = No create mask = 0664 map acl inherit = No strict

Hi there, Ok. My last postings about my problems with printerinstalation over controlpanel were still not answered. So maybe I have to ask my question in an other way. Is someone able to install a printer shared by Samba 3/Samba pre3 x over the controlpanel? I can't. I can't see my Server. I can see the Domain name and I can see other clients wich belong to the domain. I can see all and connect to all over the Networkneighborhood. Normaly I would say that conecting printer over the Networkneighborhood is enough, but it seems to me that applications become slow if you try to change the printer in the aplication. Can someone? Any ideas? Pleas ! Mfg Stefan -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

From what I guess, it is that you want start the Add Printer Wizard on a Win workstation and add a printer to the Samba server. This is not possible -- or only possible if you provide a custom script and call it with the add printer command in smb.conf. The script would have to draw its input parameters from the fields filled in by the user running the Add Printer Wizard and then create a printer to the real Unix print subsystem of your Samba server (not just add it to the smb.conf) What is possible is to add a driver to the Samba server and associate it to a pre-existing (raw) print queue of the Unix print subsystem (this queue may, in the case of CUPS, have been created with the help of the CUPS web interface sitting behind port 631).

Hello Kurt, first I like to thank you that you try to help me. I will try to explain my problem exactly. Here is what I have done. I set up Samba as an PDC. I generated shares and printershares.

I hope you now understand what I mean. Today I tried with Suse Sles8, the newest updates, but still the same problem. 2.2.8a worked right, but I'm not able to get this running with Samba3. I realy hope that I now have exactly explained what I mean. Thanks a lot, and I hope to hear you.
