Re: [Samba] (Trying) to understand Print properties saving
I have a similar issue with Ubuntu 12.04 based system , not sure of Samba version but it keeps changing default paper to Postscript custom which seems almost square. I change it in windows and apply and it always reverts to postscript custom again On Tue, Jan 1, 2013 at 5:01 PM, Alessandro Dentella wrote: > > Hi, > > some weeks ago I wrote to this list about a problem I have saving print > properties (samba 3.4.7 - ubuntu-lucid + XP-pro) > > I never managed to solve it, I also tried with samba 3.6+ (Ubuntu precise) > but had aother problems I wrote about in this list ending opening a bug > [1]. > > Now I had to go back to my 3.4.7 installation.

Re: [Samba] Update A Compiled Version
He could be using an older distro that never will have it in the repos. I think the bigger question is how will he update it once an update is released if he does compile it, and a I see it that remains unanswered, as I too share the same question. I never trust version X.00, as it is never long before the fixes make it X.01 On Tue, Dec 25, 2012 at 11:24 PM, Robert Heller wrote: > At Thu, 20 Dec 2012 11:20:40 -0700 Zane Zakraisek > wrote: > >> >> I'm pretty new to compiling software, although I would rather compile my >> own Samba 4.0.0 server rather than wait for it to become available in the >> repositories of my distribution.

[Samba] NEED Windows 7 64 bit Postscript drivers
Alas I am having success on my third install. I am however missing the Windows 7 64 Bit Postscript drivers. I have the 32 bit but have only one copy of windows that is 32 bit and use mostly Linux It would be greatly appreciated if someone could take them off of an ENGLISH system, and zip and email them to me. They come from \Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\PCC\ntprint.inf_.cab the names are ps5ui.dll pscript.hlp pscript.ntf pscript5.dll MUST BE Windows 7 English 64 bit system Thanks much! -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
[Samba] Samba and CUPS pushing generic windows drivers
I have spent weeks battling with Samba and CUPS to get seamless windows printing, and keep hitting bumps along the way So far of two printers on a test systsm, and hp deskjet 920c and a PDF writer on the CUPS machine , only one will export printer drivers _ # rpcclient -U root localhost -c enumdrivers Enter root's password: [Windows NT x86] Printer Driver Info 1: Driver Name: [HP_DESKJET_920C] _ # rpcclient -U root localhost -c enumprinters Enter root's password: flags:[0x80] name:[\\LOCALHOST\] description:[\\LOCALHOST\,HP_DESKJET_920C,HP DESKJET 920C] comment:[HP DESKJET 920C] flags:[0x80] name:[\\LOCALHOST\] description:[\\LOCALHOST\,,PDF] comment:[PDF] As you can see this is a problem. However I did not have this problem on a previous installation I tried and ended up breaking., IN order to install the drivers for windows I had to add the last line in the printer$ and printers section in the smb.conf below My biggest issue is the following: How do I get the driver for the PDF virtual printer to write out for windows auto-download? My second purpose follows and may negate all of this and it is is. I also want to know why I can not install a generic postscript or PDF driver auto-download that would apply for all printers as CUPS 1.61 allows these formats. It would seem to simplify point and print printing to have one driver that applied to all printers rather than a separate PPD for each . On my current install there are files for HP DESKJET 920C.ppd. One of the reasons I chose to go this route was for CUPS rendering. I know that they will use standard postscript rendering at least because I printed with a postscript driver to the HP previously with no printer specific PPD I would ideally lie to be able to install a printer in CUPS and have it automatically available via SMB with a generic driver with no printer specific ppd. I need this to be as idiot proof as possible! I know that new cups printers on the Mac are automatically available via samba when it is activated so it should be feasible to do that part in linux as well. The bigger issue remains a gneric postscript or pdf driver that applies to all printers.
