Did I explain myself correctly? * Windows xp with local printer and shared * ubuntu server uses that share and offers it to the rest of the network through samba * other xp clients connect to it via samba logon script If you wonder why, is to overcome the 10 concurrent connections issue with XP pro. (HAck didn't work donno why) Thanks for your time.

Hi,

What if you want to install on ubuntu server a shared windows xp printer and then share it yourself (by means of a logon script) to your domain computers (via samba + openldap) ??? Did I explain myself correctly?

* Windows xp with local printer and shared
* ubuntu server uses that share and offers it to the rest of the network through samba
* other xp clients connect to it via samba logon script

If you wonder why, is to overcome the 10 concurrent connections issue with XP pro. (HAck didn’t work donno why)

Thanks for your time.

Either way, it works now (provided I'm in my LAN) so I'm happy

How is that unusable? w3m http://localhost:631

I hope you don’t expect Ubuntu to listen on non-local IP address by default?

However on a CLI only server, that's not really that useful. I had to enable it to listen to port 631 from any computer on the network before I could access the web UI. I hope that makes things clearer :)

If you install cupsys package, you'll get cups web management on http://localhost:631. If you don't install it, it still isn't disabled - it doesn't exist. What are guys talking about?

‘(it‚Äôs disabled by default on Ubuntu installs)’

I'd imagine that may make things a little easier :) And oliver - it does, but you have to configure it manually, or enable the web interface (it's disabled by default on Ubuntu installs)

I'm even sharing a JetDirect printer that way, and it works better than with Windows communicating directly with it. I'm guessing the Server install isn't so simple? That's too bad, I'm provisioning some servers this week that I was hoping to use with this.
