Hi, James! - Hi Kurt, - Thanks for your response. > I have been unable to successfully use the 'cupsaddsmb' utility. > Any time I execute this utility, I get the following error: > > Warning - No PPD file found for 'printer_name'! So -- *is* there a PPD associated to the printer-in-question? It should be in "/etc/cups/ppd/printer-in-question.ppd... > The printer is question has been configured in CUPS and it is visible when > browsing from a Windows client. > > Where is it looking for these PPD files? Is it /etc/cups/ppd? Yes. But then, in a second step, cupsaddsmb is retrieving a copy of it (using an IPP call) from there and temporarily storing it in the CUPS spool directory, sub directory "tmp" under a weird name: /var/spool/cups/tmp/3cd1cc66376c0 Do you have a "tmp" in "/var/spool/cups/" (or whatever is dafined to be the CUPS spool dir -- see the "TempDir" directive in cupsd.conf) ? What are the access rights? - I do have a TempDir of "/var/spool/cups/tmp". It's access rights are: - - [root@xxxxx tmp]# pwd - /var/spool/cups/tmp - [root@xxxxx tmp]# ls -al - total 348 - drwx-----T 2 lp sys 4096 Feb 17 18:14 . - drwx------ 3 lp sys 4096 Feb 14 09:33 .. - -The directory "/etc/cups/ppd" contains the following: - - drwxr-xr-x 2 lp sys 4096 Feb 14 09:33 . - drwxr-xr-x 5 lp sys 4096 Feb 14 09:33 .. - -rw-r--r-- 1 lp sys 36606 Feb 14 09:33 ccsys4100.ppd - -rw-r--r-- 1 lp sys 36606 Feb 14 09:23 HP4100.ppd - -rw-r--r-- 1 lp sys 44495 Feb 6 11:10 libsys8500.ppd If cupsaddsmb can't store the PPD in the "TempDir", it could lead to the error message you are seeing... After the PPD is in cupsd's "TempDir", cupsaddsmb makes a smbclient connection to the Samba server's [print$] share to "put" it there (alongside the rest of the needed PostScript driver files).
