Samba Masters:
I have two questions for the list regarding smbprint and smbtar.
First, I have been able to send output to a printer attached to a Windows 95
machine from a Solaris 2.6 box with Samba 2.0.2 and smbprint.sysv. However,
the printer does not feed the page out after it is done printing. I have to
turn the printer off and on in order to get the page. What control
character do I need to send to the printer to have it feed the page out
after printing and how would I incorporate this into the smbprint.sysv
script?
Question number two. I would like to use smbtar to backup an NT server that
we have on our network. This would be a redundant backup to the software
that we have installed on the machine for backups (Seagate Backup Exec).
Does anyone have a good example of using smbtar to backup an NT server
machine and, more importantly, has anyone had the experience of restoring
and NT server from a smbtar backup. If so, did it work well? What
procedure did you use?
Thanks
