Chapter 116
Setting Up Printers
For an explanation of the process of how printing takes place on a HP
CIFS server, print commands, printing variables, and a minimal printing
setup, refer to chapter 7, “Printing and Name Resolution” in Using
Samba. This chapter also contains more in-depth information about
Samba printing options and print to Windows client printers.
SWAT Configuration Tool
The Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) is a GUI which you can use
to set up or change your Samba configuration in the smb.conf file. You
will be able to change information in the following areas: globals, shares,
printers, status, view (smb.conf), and password.
For information about SWAT, refer to chapter 1 of Using Samba.
Browsing
Browsing gives you the ability to view the servers and shares on your
network. Samba provides over fourteen different browsing options. HP,
however, recommends that you start with the default values.
Refer to “Chapter 5, Browsing and Advanced Disk Shares” in Using
Samba for a description of all browsing options.
Troubleshooting
In “Chapter 9, Troubleshooting Samba” of Using Samba, you will find a
description of the Samba tool bag. It includes a list of tools to be used
when troubleshooting Samba. These tools include: Samba log files and
Unix utilities such as trace and tcpdump. It also includes a fault tree to
fix problems that occur during Samba installation or reconfiguration.
There are also several excellent tools that are very useful for
troubleshooting on HP systems. For example, nettl and netfmt are used
for tracing activity specifically on HP-UX systems. Microsoft’s NetMon
has become a widely used tool for use on WIndows 2000 servers.
NIS and HP CIFS HP CIFS now works with NIS and NIS+. For
detailed information on special options, refer to chapters 2 and 6 in
Using Samba.
