[Samba] Can't print duplex

[Gareth Blades]

The user can select the printer model as 2200dn which automatically selects
the duplexer present tickbox. Once selected they can go into the 'document
defaults' for the printer and they can see the duplexing option is enabled.
However when they go to print they don't get a duplexing option.

How do you add people to the domain 'power users' group. Do you have to map
users in the unix group file?

  Have you tried to make the user a power user. This might allow the person
to set the printer configuration without admin privileges.

I have exactly the same problem with Samba 2.2.2 and a HP Laserjet
2200dnusing both PCL5e and PCL6 drivers. I managed to get duplex working on
mymachine (I am a print admin) after adding/removing/rebooting a couple
oftimes but I cannot get it to work on other peoples machines.

to switch over to the new "style" of printing, but when Ido, I loose the
ability to print duplex.I have two servers.  The old one (spike) is setup as
a file server, etc.and the print services date back to the early 2.0 days.
It is currentlyrunning 2.2.2 with the original printer setup.  The
printingworks ok with this server.  People can print using features ofthe
printers,like duplexing, just fine, but each printer setup on each client
must bedone by hand.  Once we say that the print has a duplexer, the users
canprint doub
le sided.I have setup a new server (print) that will only be doing theprint
services.It is setup the "new way" using 2.2.3a:      [global]
workgroup = MtLaurel         netbios name = PRINT         server string =
PRINT [Print Server on Chuckie]         encrypt passwords = yes         log
level = 0         preferred master = False         local master = No
domain master = False         utmp = Yes         guest account = ftp
printer admin = @it,gaa         show add printer wizard = no         wins
server = mtlpdc         ldap admin dn = XXXX         ldap server = YYYY
ldap suffix = ZZZZ         use client driver = yes     [print$]         path
= /var/samba/printers         write list = @it,root         create mask =
0774         force create mode = 0770         directory mask = 0775
force directory mode = 0770
  guest ok = yes         browsable = yes         printer admin = @it
[printers]         path = /var/spool/samba         printable = Yes
browseable = NoI uploaded the drivers from a Win2k system.  I uploaded the
drivers forWin2k, WinNT and Win9x.If I select a duplex capable printer (as
"gaa") in the "Printers" folder,I can setup "Duplex Installed".  From a
client I can double click theprinter's icon and install the drivers, etc.
When I select the newlyinstalled printer in the client's "Settings/Printers"
folder I can seethat it has a duplexer installed.  However, when I try to
print and goto the "Layout" tab, two sided printing is not available.Any
ideas?Where are "Device Options" stored on the samba server, anyway?  Where
isthe printer to driver map stored?  All I see in /var/samba/printers arethe
drivers themselves.I have tried both "use client driver = yes" and "
no".  I see nodifference.Oh, as to the drivers used:  The ones I uploaded to
the serverwere recentlydownloaded from HP.  The Win2k Server CDROM did not
have driversfor HP 8100s.After the "use client driver = yes", the client
used had stock Win2k Proinstalled drivers.  I assume the "yes" causes it to
use those rather thandownloading from the server.--Gary Algier, WB2FWZ
