I have Samba version 2.2.7a and CUPS version 1.1.15.
Hi, James!
- Hi Kurt,
- Thanks for your response.
I have been unable to successfully use the 'cupsaddsmb' utility.
Any time I execute this utility, I get the following error:
Warning - No PPD file found for 'printer_name'!
So -- *is* there a PPD associated to the printer-in-question? It
should be in /etc/cups/ppd/printer-in-question.ppd...
The printer is question has been configured in CUPS and it is visible when
browsing from a Windows client.
Where is it looking for these PPD files? Is it /etc/cups/ppd?
Yes.
But then, in a second step, cupsaddsmb is retrieving a copy of
it (using an IPP call) from there and temporarily storing it in
the CUPS spool directory, sub directory tmp under a weird
name:
/var/spool/cups/tmp/3cd1cc66376c0
Do you have a tmp in /var/spool/cups/ (or whatever is
dafined to be the CUPS spool dir -- see the TempDir directive
in cupsd.conf) ? What are the access rights?
- I do have a TempDir of /var/spool/cups/tmp. It's access rights are:
-
- [root@x tmp]# pwd
- /var/spool/cups/tmp
- [root@x tmp]# ls -al
- total 348
- drwx-T2 lp sys 4096 Feb 17 18:14 .
- drwx--3 lp sys 4096 Feb 14 09:33 ..
-
-The directory /etc/cups/ppd contains the following:
-
- drwxr-xr-x2 lp sys 4096 Feb 14 09:33 .
- drwxr-xr-x5 lp sys 4096 Feb 14 09:33 ..
- -rw-r--r--1 lp sys 36606 Feb 14 09:33 ccsys4100.ppd
- -rw-r--r--1 lp sys 36606 Feb 14 09:23 HP4100.ppd
- -rw-r--r--1 lp sys 44495 Feb 6 11:10 libsys8500.ppd
If cupsaddsmb can't store the PPD in the TempDir, it could
lead to the error message you are seeing...
After the PPD is in cupsd's TempDir, cupsaddsmb makes a
smbclient connection to the Samba server's [print$] share to
put it there (alongside the rest of the needed PostScript
driver files).
Cheers,
Kurt
Could it be
that it does not recognize the PPD files for some reason?
Also, could someone further develop
Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
