richie Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hi all I'm using Mandrake 10.0 Official as a Samba server for file sharing and printing on a Windows network. The file sharing works fine and the printing via Samba+Cups worked fine until now. Printing from a WindowsXP client to the Samba server now fails and I don't know why it has suddenly stopped. There are on no errors logged on the Linux Samba box, the Windows application you try to print from just says "not responding". I have used knoppix as a client and the printing works from samba, so it is just a Windows client to Linux Samba issue, but I can't figure it out. Any ideas? Samba version samba-server-3.0.2a-3mdk Kernel 2.6.3-4mdk Mandrake 10.0 official Here is my smb.conf, ---- smb.conf ---- # Global parameters [global] workgroup = PHOTO-CDWRITER server string = Samba Server %v security = SHARE map to guest = Bad User log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = No invalid users = root printer admin = @adm hosts allow = 192.168.

Qchem Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Have you checked to make sure that the file shares still work to that same windows machine? Just want to rule that out first :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Yes, the file shares still work fine on the same Windows client. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
