Installing samba on iPrint Appliance 1.1

Hi all,
Just wondering if there is a way to set up samba on the iPrint Appliance?
We have Papercut set up on the iPrint Appliance and I am attempting to set up the Web Print functionality of Papercut. However this requires a samba share to be created on the iPrint Appliance server (/vastorage/papercut/server/data/web-print-hot-folder) that is to be accessed by a Windows server acting as an intermediary for print jobs for users that are using their own BYOD notebooks.
I am assuming this is not a supported configuration for the iPrint Appliance as it isn't a listed configurable system service in the iPrint Appliance web console nor installed by default, but I'm just throwing this out there in case there is a way.
Regards,
Matt

Thanks Simon.
I'll definitely raise it with Papercut.

You'd need to grab and install the Samba-related packages from matching
SLES media (or installed server) but as you rightly assume this would
not be supported by Novell (so would have implications if any security
issues reported and/or subsequently patched).
It's probably worth both contacting PaperCut and logging an enhancement
request with Novell[1].

    Hi!
    Just to end this thread. Seems to it (problem described below) was caused by separate (second) hard disk presence which had installation from old system and even choosing a New install ... it stuck at it.
    New install with "clean" second disk solved the problem, but, seems to, this second disk is no needed for iPrint Appliance, anyway.

  • Best Practice Moving to iPrint Appliance

    I'm working with a site that has some old NDPS printing on NetWare 6.5 and some OES based iPrinting. We are moving to the iPrint appliance. While you can migrate/import printers from the old system into the appliance, I haven't figured out the best way to deal with the clients. What have others done to switch the clients over to the appliance based printers? Are there any tricks here? Looking for what others have done. Thanks.

    Theoretically it might work but it certainly won't be supported by
    either A.N.D. Technologies (developer of Pcounter) since
    development has ended of Pcounter for Novell.
    Incidentally I note the Installation Guide for latest version of
    Pcounter for Novell (5.52) refers to SLES10 SP3 + OES2 SP1 (which
    is an invalid combination and was never supported by Novell!) so
    I suspect OES11 is also not supported.
    > If it does not work, are there any alternatives? Or moving to MS Printing is

    There are a few alternatives available but the one that seems to
    be the most popular is PaperCut.

  • Iprint Appliance Import Users Swipe card ID for Papercut

    Hi All
    We are using the iPrint Appliance in conjunction with Papercut follow me printing. The idea is that everyone prints to the one iPrint Printer and whichever printer the user goes to they swipe their ID card and Papercut redirects their job to that printer. Our issue is that the swipe card number for each user is stored in the Serial Number attribute in eDirectory. As the iPrint appliance is it's own Edirectory tree when we do the iPrint LDAP import we need to import the Serial Number attribute as well so Papercut has access to the each users swipe card number. It does not matter which attribute the number is imported to as I can adjust that at the Papercut end. Under the Users section on the LDAP import screen it lists the Internal ID to ldap attribute list. I have tried changing this list to get the sync to import to the Card ID number from the Serial Number attribute to the phone, Description, even first and last name but even left at the defaults the only attribute it will sync is the Last Name.
    If anyone has any idea where I could go next to try something or even get a log file to try and trace what is going on.
    Many Thanks in advance
    Graeme

    Glad to hear you were able to work around the issue. I have passed along an enhancement request to engineering. I am not sure if it something that will be addressed, but if it is, I'll update this post.

  • IPrint Appliance: miggui ACL migration

    I just ran a printer migration (miggui) from our OES 11 iPrint server to our iPrint appliance (version 1.0.1.69). All printers appear to have migrated successfully with no errors however I noticed that none of the printer ACLs migrated with the printers.
    I was told that if I had the users imported into the iPrint appliance before the printer migration process that the ACLs would transfer during the migration process. I attempted the migration after the users were imported into the iPrint appliance with no success of the ACLs migrating from the source server.
    Any ideas what I missed or how I can get the ACLs from the Source iPrint server to the Target iPrint appliance?
    Thanks in advance!

  • How do I install Samba 3.4.6 on my MacBook Pro?

    I'm having many odd problems associated with using Samba at work (where PCs and linux boxes rule & Macs are shunned). I hear the samba version that ships with the latest OS X (I have a 17" MacBook Pro running 10.6.2) is kind of out of date and was hoping to install the latest Samba version 3.4.6 available via:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16066/samba
    http://us1.samba.org/samba/
    However, despite someone advising me (in a MacUpdate forum post) to use MacPorts and Porticus along with the implication that would 'just work', I can't for the life of me figure out how to install the latest version into my Mac. There is an installer for most other platforms, just not for the Mac.
    Is there some kind soul out there who can help me please?

    Thanks - I'll try my luck in the Windows forum. I just figured I was in much the same sort of domain as with Apple's X11 i.e. the X11 that shipped with snow leopard was very rough around the edges and the latest xquartz release (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/Releases) runs rings around Apple's version and it comes with an installer that replaces Apple's X11.
    What is "run rings around"? I use X11 every day and it works fine. X11 is one of those things that is easily misconfigured and poorly understand. People like to replace it hoping that the "new" version will replace the "buggy" version that Apple ships with the OS.
    But while I'm here, I may as well state the most irritating issue I have with Samba. If I connect to my own linux box via samba in the Finder then I can certainly see and edit all my files etc. However, if I select a file and do cmd-D for copy or do a cmd-N to create a new folder then I get messages saying that there is no disk space left. That is simply not true, and I can get around these limitations by e.g. editing a file a want to duplicate and doing a save-as in the same directory. The new file is created without any complaints about the disk being full.
    That sounds like a misconfiguration on the Linux side. Most users of 10.6.2 have no problem duplicating files and/or creating new folders.

  • Installing 5.8 on appliance with no CD or floppy

    I have an appliance that already had Solaris 5.8 installed. The appliance does not have a floppy or CD, since it was an appliance. I want to change the way I want to use the machine as an application server and need to reinstall the operating system. I have another Sun Ultra 5 that has 5.8 on it and has a CD and floppy. If I install the CD in the Ultra 5, how can I get the appliance to boot, accessing the CD on the Ultra 5 in order to do an install.
    Thanks for any help.

    One way to do it using Jumpstart feature of the Solaris. You
    can make your Ultra 5 as a jumpstart server.
