Hello all,
I've googled this but couldn't find anything relevant and the list's
archives didn't turn anything either, so pretty please someone take a
look at this if you can spare a moment.
My Samba server shares its CUPS printer, but Windows clients cannot
print to it (I haven't tried other CIFS clients). I have the
point-n-print driver all set up, so the Windows XP Pro clients can
automatically detect this printer and load the driver (I'm also able to
set the server default settings so the devmode is OK). But once the
printer is set up in the Windows client, the test page doesn't print.
The Windows driver says there's a communication problem with the
printer, and looking at logfiles and traffic captures I see the problem
is that the client is trying to do an NTCreate_and_X operation to open a
named pipe called "\epmapper" but Samba answers with an
NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND message. The client retries this
operation a couple of times and then gives up.
I'm testing this by connecting to the server from a non-domain-member
machine, but by manually setting the correct username and password with
the "net use \\myserver /user:muserver\myprinteradminusername itspass"
command on a Windows command-line. The client and the server are both on
the same Workgroup.
In case you're wondering, my /var/spool/samba directory exists and has
mode 1777.
Here's a level 10 log (only the interesting part; ask if you need all of
it):
