CUPS, samba, and Epson C80
by David Miller
Hello
I recently "upgraded" from RedHat 9 to Fedora.
I have always used lprng. I was very disapointed to find that it was
removed.
I have tried to share the printers that I have on my linux box. I have
4 windows machines that use my printers. I have an Hp dj600 and an
Epson C80 on the linux box.
I have never had any problems shareing them with lprng and samba.
After installing Fedora I learned that I had to use CUPS. I could make
my printers work on the linux machine but the windows machines could not
print. They would show up in windows explorier but not in the list when
you would add a network printer. Nothing I tried seamed to work until I
ran across a posting via a web search that indicated a problem in samba
3.0 and it worked with an earlier version of samba. I uninstalled samba
and downloaded the samba rpms for samba-2.2.7-5.8.0. I think the samba
files used in RedHat 8.0.
Now my HP works fine.
On the windows machines, when you say add printer and select network and
browse you see both printers and installs for both seam to work. The
Epson still won't print.
In printer configuration both printers are shared. Both work on the
linux box.
Samba Config is as follows:
workgroup = HOME
server string = Samba Server
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 0
security = user
encrypt passwords = no
obey pam restrictions = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
remote browse sync = 192.168.0.1/25
os level = 33
preferred master = yes
wins support = yes
dns proxy = no
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
valid users = %S
create mode = 0664
directory mode = 0775
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
use client driver = yes
[windata]
path = /var/data/win95
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
printable = no
write list = david, cheryl, laniece, cathy, mark
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
Cups
mime.convs has the following line uncommented:
application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
mime.types has the following line uncommented:
application/octet-stream
cups error log still indicates the following when I try to print to the C80;
E [02/Feb/2004:12:13:22 -0600] print_job: Unsupported format
'application/octet-stream'!
I [02/Feb/2004:12:13:22 -0600] Hint: Do you have the raw file printing
rules enabled?
No errors printing to the HP.
There is no entry that shows up in the print queue.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

smb-shares
by Sturla Holm Hansen
I'm having probles when using nautilus to browse smb-shares, either on
another linux-box or on a windoze-box, it takes ages to connect, then
I'm asked for a password and then it takes ages again.
Finally I get a list of the shares on the box, when double-clicking one
of them it takes ages AGAIN, but when I'm finally inside a share things
seem to be working fine....
Any ideas?

RE:Compiling kernel-2.6.1 in FEDORA
by Scott Fones
Hi Mihai,
If you're really interested in doing it check out fedoranews.org. They have
numerous walkthroughs that I have found to be very well done. I haven't
tried updating to 2.6 yet, but they take you through it step by step. Your
other options are waiting for it to be implemented in the next edition of
Fedora.
Best of luck,
Scott

Re: SSH Display Problem
by Mike Chepesky
>Did you try 'ssh -X' - and made sure the display is set correctly?

>ssh -X -l login_name server_name
>echo $DISPLAY #for eg: 'localhost:11.0'
>xterm
The issue I have with that is, I'm not sure what is *supposed* to be in
$DISPLAY. For example, when running the commands above, I get, after the
echo, " rees.math:60.0". rees is the server name to which I am connecting.
Should this be, or should it be set to "localhost...."? How would I change
it?
Mike

idiot database flamewars
by Richard Welty
could you guys kindly please stop it?
i'm no fan of M$, and i like postgresql a lot, but face facts here.
the guy is proposing a major migration of his desktops. no sane
IT shop would simultaneously migrate an entire database
infrastructure. what he needs are working ODBC or JDBC
drivers so the apps on the linux desktops can talk to M$ SQL
Server, nothing more and nothing less. both options should
work; he didn't give enough information about his desktop
App to really suggest which he needed.
PostgreSQL and MySQL may not even meet the needs of
said IT shop, none of you have any idea what their schemas
or SQL look like. i've dabbled in Oracle->PostgreSQL migration
before, and it can be pretty challenging if certain "features"
were used by the Oracle developers.
MS SQL Server-> <some Open Source DB> is likely to be
every bit as challenging, so it's pretty silly to propose it in
this case.
this flame war is a real waste of bandwidth.
sheesh,
richard

mising usb-net on fc1
by listas＠lozano.eti.br
Hi,
When trying Familiar Linux on my iPAQ I found kernel module usb-net cannot be
found. Shouldn't it be installed by default? Will I have to recompile my kernel
to get it? Maybe someone has a nice rpm I can just download... and maybe fedora
developers can make it standard on fc2. :-)

Sql
by Chadley Wilson
Hi everyone,
I cant seem to find anyone who can help
I am trying to get our in house app which connects to an SQL2000-ent
sever to run in linux, I have the app running just fine but I cant get
connection to the database,
When you install it in windoze all you have to install is client
connectivity, I have browsed the win dirs on my XP system but there are
no files installed. but it works.
Cant I use the linux sql to some how get the link.
The other Problem I think I am faced with is the fact that linux doesn't
log into the domain. Is it possible to logon to the windoze domain with
Fedora?
The I also need to map the directory to the U drive in my wine folder.
Please if you have any Ideas I will be throwing a party on your behalf.
A BIG BIG thanks for any help in advance,
You folks are great.
Chad
