Hi After struggling with this for a couple of days it's time to ask for help. We have two samba servers one is on Solaris 8 running Version 2.2.8a and one on Solaris 10 running Version 3.0.28
I am having a problem with samba printing from the Solaris 10 samba server. I can print from the machine itself using lpr directly. I can print from a windows machine using lpr printing to that server but I can't get it to print using samba printing. The files seem to just disappear. There is nothing queued. This is the top of my smb.conf [global] debug level = 3 #syslog = 10 #debug level = 1 syslog = 0 workgroup = PHS_WRKSTN comment = Channing Epi SMB Server printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap.smb load printers = yes #log file = /var/samba/log/log.%m log file = /var/samba/log/%U.%m.log max log size = 100000 preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes lock directory = /var/samba/locks locking = yes share modes = yes wins server = <removed for security> username map = /etc/sfw/smb.map hosts allow = ALL dead time = 0 wide links = no follow symlinks = no #smb passwd file = /var/samba/private/smbpasswd smb passwd file = /usr/local/smb/smbpasswd #update encrypted = yes #for this to work 'encrypt passwords = no' encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 time server = yes #null passwords = yes mangling method = hash2 hide dot files = yes #os level = 33 [ipc$] hosts allow = 13.174.18.,17.23.139.,10.,155.52.,127.0.0.1,10.240.5 hosts deny = ALL path = /tmp [printers] comment = Channing Lab Printers path = /var/samba/spool browseable = no printable = yes guest ok = no writable = no create mask = 0700 ... many pages worth of disk shares... Am I missing something obvious. I don't know too much about samba or Windows. I tried this: root # /ilocal/bin/smbclient //sambahost/glsr1 -U salbb Password: Domain=[NFSSRV2] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.28] smb: \> lcd /udd/salbb smb: \> print .login putting file .login as .login (10.4 kb/s) (average 10.4 kb/s) smb: \> queue smb: \> exit I have stopped the smbd completely and restarted it. Any suggestions will be very welcome. Thanks.
