[expert] samba printing?
After a few hours I was able to get a windows 2000 box to print to my samba server on my mandrake 7.0 box but it won't print multiple copies of the same document only one at a time. Does anybody know how to get it to print the multiple copies of a document.

The hardware list has K, K6-2 and Athalon but no mention of the K6-3, which is an upgraded K6-2. My friend and I are learning Linux together. We both have multiple drives and Windows loaded, but different configurations and this is where the thorny part begins. We both want to access Windows files, but can't seem to find the /mnt point. John has 3-drives. W95 is on the main drive; LINUX on the 3rd drive, a secondary master. /mnt/Hdc1 doesn't work. The file size is read but he gets the same error message I do that asks, "Aren't you trying to mount a ? partion instead of a ? inside?" My system is a little more complicated. My master drive has multiple W98 paritions plus L-M at the end of this drive which is recognized as hda9 and hda11. The second drive is a slave. The MO backup is the Secondary Master and is NOT recognized by L-M. When I watch L-M set up I see the following lines: 1)hda 1,2 5,6,7,8,9,19,11 2)hdb 15,6 (backup files) 3)hdc Unknown I think 1) is the A:, C: plus the paritions including EXT2. I think line 2) is the secondary drive with it's two partitions And, I hope 3) is the MO drive. What is the correct mount for the two machines? I have FAT 16 and FAT32 files in W98. Will vfat allow me to access both files type? Thanks for the help and I apologize for the lengthy message. Pj [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [expert] SMB Help Please.
Probably the most common problem is to allow guest users on samba. It can be set up but the easiest way is to just turn it off. Next make sure that for every user that you want to have access to samba shares is also on your linux box as a user or else have them log on as an existing user on your linux box. Lyle wrote: Todd all; I was NOT able to get SAMBA to work with WinNT or Win98 until I enabled plain text passwords. This was with the Samba included with LM 6.0. I tried encrypted passwords yes and no in the SAMBA config and it just plain did not work. WinNT SP3 was when Microsoft changed their password encryption and that's why I mentioned SP3. This new password scheme has been included in Win95 patches and is now in Win98. If I am doing something wrong, please give me some constructive answers. Lyle

Re: [expert] Upgrade to 7.0?
I can't speak for others but I did an upgrade of my 6.1 system that I use for just this purpose and it left me with a few little bugs like telling me I only had 64megs of ram instead of 160. Other than that it did pretty good. After this I just saved my samba.conf and did a fresh install. Then just put the samba .conf back. During install set up the modem and after install set up the lan cards. If you use an rc.masq you'll need to set that back up also. Altogether maybe a half hour work and things are going fine.

Re: [expert] Modem Blaster Problems
Is it a pci modem or a isa modem. If it is an isa modem use the jumpers on the modem to set it to com3 and irq 3( you may need to mess with these settings before you find something that works on your system) and turn the pnp off. Next I attached a copy of my rc.serial put it in /etc/rc.d/ . You need to set the ttys* and irq * in the rc.serial to match the settings on your modem. Reboot and it should find your modem automatically. On Fri, 24 Sep 1999, you wrote: Hi! I just got a Creative Labs Modem Blaster, Model DI5665, and am having problems getting it to work.
