I'm using SLES 9 (and I also tried FreeBSD 5.4, but same problem) with SAMBA as a print-server for our HP Plotters (HPDJ1050c, HPDJ1050c plus, HPDJ5500). First everything works fine but after a while it's no more possible to print on the Plotters. I can print test-pages via cups through the command line, but not out of my windows environment. I always get the message: "Test page cannot be printed." My log.smbd says: "could not fetch trust account for domain xxx". My smb.conf looks like this: # smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented # version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SuSE # Date: 2004-04-06 [global] workgroup = STPLANA security = domain password server = * encrypt passwords = yes interfaces = 10.169.57.8 eth0 bind interfaces only = true printing = cups printcap name = cups printer admin = u610079, @ntadmin, root, administrator map to guest = Bad User [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp printable = Yes create mask = 0777 browseable = No use client driver = no [print$] comment = Druckertreiber Freigabe path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = u610079, root, @ntadmin force group = ntadmin read only = yes guest ok = no browseable = yes use client driver = no [Software] comment = Freie Standardsoftware path = /home/software read only = yes browsable = yes write list = u610079, @ntadmin, root, administrator guest ok = yes Would be very nice if you can help.

what is "after a while"? Is it s consistent period? Does a restart of smbd fix the problem or do you have to rejoin the domain ? Are there any errors about secrets.tdb being corrupted ? Are there any log messages indicating a panic in smbd? I'm going to need a good bit more information to make any progress on this one.
no feedback in a month (i think). Closing.
