From: Salatiel Filho on 23 Jan 2010 12:40 Hi, i am trying to migrate my print servers from windows to linux , everything is getting really nice but i still face a few problems , and since i don't know if i need help from cups or samba guys i will post to both lists, so maybe someone can give me some help. Well, i have now cups and samba working just fine, i can authenticate my users in cups from Active Directory using winbind and they can print just fine. The remaining problems/doubts are: 1) Is there a way to run cupsaddsmb when security = ads in smb.conf ? I always have to set security = user before running cupsaddsmb or it will fail. 2) Even though my cups printers are configured to DefaultPage = A4, after a cupsaddsmb all windows clients still default to LETTER. What am i doing wrong? Is there a way to mass set all printer queues in windows to use A4 ? Some rpcclient parameter to change this ? I have over 1k queues, so manually change each one in windows GUI is kinda very time consuming. 3) Why do i always get count page = 1 when printing from windows ? I thought since i was using the right PPD for each printer and adobe postscripts + cups drivers exported from cupsaddsmb , page accounting would work, but apparently not. 4) now the critical problem , sometimes when im trying to print a big job, over 400 hundred pages with lots of pictures to a cups class from Word for example , word starts spooling to the samba spool but after it finishes printing the only thing really printed in cups is the BANNER page, the job itself never gets there. Thanks in advance. -- []'s Salatiel "O maior prazer do inteligente é bancar o idiota diante de um idiota que banca o inteligente". -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba |
