Hi!

Trying to trace down a problem with printer sharing. I don't see anything glaringly obvious with my smb.conf. I am using LDAP and CUPS.

Using a Windoze client, accessing a printer I receive the friendly "Access denied, unable to connect". Checking the Samba logs, I find:

[2008/11/07 18:26:08,  0] param/loadparm.c:process_usershare_file(8268)
process_usershare_file: share name ::{2227a280-3aea-1069-a2de-08002b30309d} contains invalid characters (any of %<>*?|/\+=;:",)

daniel (192.168.0.60) couldn't find service ::{2227a280-3aea-1069-a2de-08002b30309d}

I don't HAVE any shares with invalid characters - that I'm aware of. Is it possible there's something hiding in a corrupted tdb file? I've tried deleting ntprinters.tdb without improvement.


Hi Daniel,

I can only offer moral support, I got the same problem but no solution
(yet).
Samba 3.0.28a on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS with OpenLDAP slapd 2.4.9

I read through this :
http://us6.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html#id2620623

But no luck and I want to avoid the whole rpcclient thing.

somebody here
(http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-January/116695.html) pointed to
http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1722545,00.asp
Not sure what it has to do with it but I tried deleting the task thing
(no change)
(It explained where the 2227a280-3aea-1069-a2de-08002b30309d key comes from)

Parts of my smb.conf:

[global]
load printers = yes
printcap name = cups
printing = cups


[print$]
  comment = Printer Drivers
  path = /var/lib/samba/printers
  browseable = yes
  read only = yes
  guest ok = no
  write list = root, @"Domain Admins", @"Domain Users"[print$]
  comment = Printer Drivers
  path = /var/lib/samba/printers
  browseable = yes
  read only = yes
  guest ok = no
  write list = root, @"Domain Admins", @"Domain Users"
# Remove @"Domain Users" asap !!! Need printer setup working for Big
Xerox 7328 MFC


drwxrwxrwx 2 root Domain Admins  4096 2008-11-09 10:48 printers
(I will chmod this back to 775 ASAP)

The printer works in CUPS

root = part of "Domain Admins"
User "root" already member of the group "Domain Admins".

What else did I do ?

Read
man 8 cupsaddsmb

Step 6 here fails:
http://de.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#id2575750

rebooted everything one more time, to give it another try...

Posted this 'cry for help'  msg...

Do I need cupsaddsmb?
I do NOT use RAW printing.


Thanks


Peter






Alrighty then... I think I got it... almost (*)

changed in smb.conf section : [print$]

  path = /usr/share/cups/drivers
#   path = /var/lib/samba/printers


Just before this change I did this :

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/cups/drivers# mkdir w32x86/3 -p

Not sure if it is needed to make those 2 sub-directories but it certainly doesn't hurt

after going through the add printer procedure 5.17
http://de.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#id2575750

I do an ls -l ... MAGIC


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/cups/drivers/w32x86/3# ls -l

...



I kind'a understand what is going on but not completely...

Let me tell you does guys from the SaMBa team are geniuses... !
(Reverse engineering the winBlows crap and have it work with LDAP, CUPS & Co... JUST AWESOME !!!

No the (*) almost part.
When right-clicking on the printer and selecting properties I get an error window titled : "Xerox Printer Driver" An unexpected error occurred in the print driver. Close the current driver window and retry the operation."
<OK>

Clicking Ok gives me the properties, however those are in read-only mode.

Somebody help us here?



Regards

Peter
