hello list,
thanks for the great piece of software :) now to my problem:
i setup samba long time ago with Version 3.0.14a-Debian. Now i want to
put my samba server into a fax gateway.
i create a printcap entry like the following:
fax:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/faxlp:\
:if=/usr/local/bin/sambafax:\
:sh:sf:mx#0:
and add a referring entry stanza into smb.conf
[fax]
comment = Fax-Server
print command = lpr -P%p %f
path = /var/spool/fax
printable = yes
force user = lp
read only = no
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
Now, if i try to add the share fax as a printer port on my windows xp
clients, a problem comes up:
i can connect to the server and view the shared printer but i can't
add \\servername\share as a new port - i always get "Der angegebene
Anschluss konnte nicht hinzugefügt werden. Der Vorgang konnte nicht
abgeschlossen werden" which means the specified port can't be added -
the task can't be completed.
please see the log file[1] http://rafb.net/p/pBKywS41.html
Any help is greatly appreciated
Best regards
stefan
