[Samba] printers keep stopping
I am running Samba 3.5.8 on Ubuntu 11.04 with lpr for printing. For reasons unknown, about 1-4 times a month at seemingly random times, a printer will stop working. If I try to send a test page, windows reports that there was a problem sending the test page. To fix it I edit /etc/printcap and comment out the offending printer, save printcap, wait about 30 seconds and then uncomment the printer and save printcap. That's it. Then the printer starts working again. Does anyone have any ideas on what would cause this?

[Samba] Printer requires bidirectional support
I have a Zebra 2844 label printer. I set it up the way I normally do for all printers with printcap. p54|Zebra LP2844 - Shipping Labels:\ :sh:\ :rm=10.0.0.31:\ :sd=/var/spool/output/lpd/p54:\ :rp=portlf1: This wouldn't work however. So I tried to print directly to the ip address. That works fine but only if you have bidirectional enabled in the windows print driver. I'm not sure what to do since once windows has handed the job off to samba and it's sitting in the queue there's nothing more to do. Can't lpd somehow provide the "bidirectional" support to this printer? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] windows copy versus move
Running 3.0.4 on FreeBSD 5.2.1... I have two directories... drwxrwxr-x root data_current /usr/vol1/current drwxrwx--- root data_current /usr/vol1/hold If a file is in /usr/vol1/hold with the following attributes... -rwxrwx--- root data_hold file1 ...and a user MOVES it to /usr/vol1/current it has the following attributes... -rwxrwx--- root data_hold file1 ...if the user COPIES (then deletes the original) it to /usr/vol1/current it has the following attributes... -rwxrw-r-- root data_current file1 (I'm not sure why the execute bit disappears but I think that is ok) Is there any way I can make the windows MOVE command work like COPY/DELETE?

[Samba] upgrading 3.0.4 to 3.0.13
I've searched using google and also look at samba.org and cannot seem to find any instructions on how to upgrade from a 3.x version to current. Everything out there is how to upgrade from a 2.x version. Do I just have to recompile and nothing else? Do I have to stop smbd and nmdb first or just restart them? Reboot? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Nope. Assigned to a printer on the server. You night need to use use tdbtool on ntprinters.tdb and delete any records for printers that no longer exist. The printer that I want to remove the driver for still exists. I just no longer want to have them on the server. Should I still look at it with tdbtool? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] Allow users to delete from read-only share?
When using Netware I had two directories set up as follows... 1. /data/cad/current 2. /data/cad/hold I had three groups that controlled access to these directories. Group A had read-only access to 1. Group B had read-only and delete access on 1 and read-write on 2. Group C had read-write on both 1 and 2. Group A was typically shop floor employees who needed to view cad drawings. The reason for group B was so that an engineer could take a cad drawing file and remove it from 1. and place it in 2. so that no one could access it while it was being modified. When the modifications were complete and approved a user from group C could put it back. I cannot figure out any way to do this with Samba.
