OK. Perhaps you can be more specific about what you are trying to
accomplish. I don't recall adding printers to a server as being
something that happens frequently. yet I get the impression that your
concern is that you have to wait before the added printer becomes
available. That doesn't seem like much of a problem.
How long do you have to wait?
Basically, all the smbaddprinter.pl script does is call lpadmin. At
least on my system, that seems to be a CUPS specific version. I think
that's probably usual for any system running CUPS. Perhaps you should be
asking the maintainer(s) for lpadmin?

I did try your suggestion, and it doesn't do anything but interrupt
the operation... and I get an "Operation could not be completed
error." Which makes sense...

You could try something like /etc/init.d/samba restart (or your local
equivalent) to the end of perl script.

hello
I have cups printing with cups 1.4.4. I'm using the included
smbaddprinter.pl command to add printers to my server.
Now, my error is that when I add the printer, I get ACCESS DENIED in
the windows client, but if I check cups, there the printer is. And
if I wait a bit with the windows client or reload samba, there the
printer is within the share as well.
Now, from the man page on smb.conf
"Once the /|addprinter command|/ has been executed, |smbd| will
reparse the | smb.conf| to determine if the share defined by the APW
exists. If the sharename is still invalid, then |smbd | will return
an ACCESS_DENIED error to the client."
So... is there a way for me to ask Samba to wait a few seconds before
reparsing the smb.conf to check for the new printer? I tried adding
a sleep() to the perl script, but that seems to make the issue worse,
so that's not the choice it seems.
thanks!
