[Samba] Win7 x64 postscript printer -> samba print Apple Laserwriter not available
Hi folks. I've got a system where my WinXP (they still work well) workstations have a virtual printer installed on them. This virtual printer uses Apple Colour Laserwriter Postscript drivers to generate PS files which are then printed to a linux server where Samba passes the file to one of my scripts which then parses the file, extracts data, coverts the PS to PDF and then inserts the details into a database. My problem is that on the new Win7 x86 PC's the Apple drivers are not available. Can anyone point me to compatible drivers, or what I can do instead. -- Gary Stainburn Group I.T.

[Samba] Fedora 14, Samba and connection problems - passwords
I have just replaced an old FC9 server with a new FC14 server as the old one
died. Before it died I was having trouble authenticating connections to it.
Now I have the new server running I'm still suffering the same problem.
Setting up a user and setting the password gives no errors, but then
connections fail complaining about the password. It is very much a virgin
vanilla setup. All I have done is config the network and Samba. I even
disabled selinux in case that was the problem.
I've tried connecting from Win-XP clients which are the computers that need
access. I've also tried connecting from my linux laptop and the server
itself.
Can someone please have a quick look and see what I've missed / done wrong.
Googling has come up with loads of hits, but nothing I can follow to get a
fix.

[Samba] WINS server not appearing in Nethood
Hi folks, I've had a setup working for quite some time and everything's fine except that the server that hosts the WINS never appears in the network neighbourhood, and when trying to connect to that server there is a small delay. As few people need to browse to it, the problem's had a low priority as the WINS side of it is working fine, and the rest of the nethood is also working fine. However, when I tried to use smbclient to connect to itself today I saw an error message which may relate to the problem, and therefore possibly point to a fix. Below is the session I am talking about, followed by the basics from my smb.conf. 10.2.1.2 is a Linux box at a remote site, running as browse master for the Doncaster workgroup.
