Samba 2.2.8 + cups-1.1.17.
load printers = yes show add printer wizard = yes printcap name = cups printer admin = root printing = cups
[print$] path = /home/printers guest ok = yes browseable = yes write list = root
[printers] comment = All Printers printable = yes path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes public = yes read only = yes writable = no
[2 floor IBM BW] comment = IBM Infoprint 1222 path = /var/spool/lpd/samba/2ndflbw printable = yes browseable = yes writable = no public = yes printer admin = root
Everything all right added drivers, set default all works like a charm just
it's just that... Why do I have two printers instead of one listed on the
server?
Short answer: because you setup the smb.conf the way you did.
Long answer:
* the "load printers = yes" directive tells Samba to look for a printcap file and auto-create and use [printername] sections for each printername found in the printcap. These auto-created shares are not actually written to disk, but are visible in the Network neighbourhood and/or the server's "Printers and Faxes" folder. They use settings cloned from the [printers] section, (similar to how the [homes] section works...)
* the manually created share [2 floor IBM BW] duplicates your
other effort. (BTW, don't forget to have the same "printername
with spaces" {"2 floor IBM BW"} on the UNIX side, and don't
forget to escape those spaces, should you want to use that
printer in UNIX....Cheers, Kurt
