Re: [Cooker] CUPS 1.1.3
Oops, time to eat my hat again...
It seems that latest samba packages from Mandrake do include smbspool, only they
include it
in samba- and not in samba-client..
My new problem with cups seems to be that hackkernel has a very strange version of
smbfs,
that
refuses to connect with smbspool by smb://username:password@servername/share
but rather demands smbclient or smbprint with '-I serverip'
Anyone familiar with this problem?

My mistake, i was talking all the time about smbspool, which is not included in

Too bad, since it is the only way to print from cups to smb printers...
From the cups manual:
quote
Printing to Windows Servers
CUPS can print to Windows servers in one of two ways. The first way uses the LPD
protocol
on the CUPS system and the "TCP/IP Printing Services" on the Windows
system. You can find out more about this configuration in the LPD section earlier in
this
chapter.
The second way is through the Microsoft Server Message Block ("SMB") protocol.
Support for
this protocol is provided with the free SAMBA software package. You can
download SAMBA from:
http://www.samba.org
To configure CUPS for SAMBA, run the following command:
ln -s `which smbspool` /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb ENTER
The smbspool(1) program is provided with SAMBA starting with SAMBA 2.0.6. Once you
have
made the link you can configure your printers with one of the following
device URIs:
smb://workgroup/server/sharename
/quote
I already pointed this list to this problem once, to no avail. Redhat is doing a
better
job at this.
This is even more strange, since cups is going to be the default printing system for
Mandraks, IIRC.

Hi Moshe!
Well actualy mandrake DOES include smbprint in its samba package, and I have
it installed.
[root@dark /root]# rpm -qf /usr/bin/smbprint
samba-client-2.0.6-4mdk
SHadowX
But not in latest cooker - (samba-client-2.0.7-7mdk)
The only way it worked for me was to install
samba-client-2.0.7-4utmp from Redhat.
No, you're wrong here definitifely. I just checked myself
(and smb printing works for me at office):
[root@linux cups]# rpm -qf `which smbprint`
samba-client-2.0.7-7mdk
[root@linux cups]#
Maybe something is wrong with your samba-client-package,
so you might want to reinstall it.
Anyway, it is easily tested by the command you just provided,
so to the original poster, you can use
#rpm -qf /usr/bin/smbprint
to see if you have smbprint in your samba-client package.
It works for me :) Hopefully ShadowX can test if smbprint itself
works, before seeking the problem within cups.

Re: [Cooker] CUPS 1.1.3
Install the smb packages, they only need to be installed, the SMB daemon does not need to be running because you are only a client in your situation. Restart the CUPS daemon with /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups restart Now the configuration for the access to an SMB printer should work. I recommand using KUPS for doing the configuration. To install KUPS install QTCUPS because it is needed by KUPS. Take care that you have updated to the newest release of KUPS, older releases crash when you press any key. Start KUPS with kups or choosing Configuration/Printing/KUPS in the menu. In the KUPS window you click on the "Add printer" icon and get a dialog. Click on "Next" and choose the SMB printer connection. Enter login and password for the SMB server or choose "Guest account". On the next screen click on the "Scan" button to get a list of all SMB servers in your network. Choose the appropriate one and click on the small "+" at this entry. Then click on the desired printer and click "Next". On the next screens choose/enter the usual info (Manufacturer, model, queue name, description, location). After confirming on the last screen it should be possible to print on your SMB printer.
