Hi All, I'm trying to get samba to work with a CUPS printer setup. Unfortuantely I'm falling over at the first hurdle. I've installed samba 3.0.12 from sources and I've a redhat 9.0 box running CUPS 1.1.71.
I've installed the following smb.conf file:- [global] load printers=yes printings=cups printcap name=cups passdb backend = tdsam [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no public = yes guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes printer admin = root, @ntadmins If I start samba and run:- Rpcclient server -U root -c enumprinters Then I get returned the message 'No printers returned' I've scoured the logs at all levels from smbd, but the only line of relevance I can find is:- Starting background LPQ thread. This suggestes to me that smbd isn't using the CUPS backend, but is using the BSD backend(!?). However, I've checked the smbd binary and it is linked to libcups.so.2. I have also checked that cups is creating the /etc/printcap file (which it is) - though I'm concerned that it consists only of printer names and nothing else! Any suggestions would be warmly welcomed. Bernard McAuley -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
