RE: [Samba] Trouble with CUPS/SAMBA - Solved
Hi Bo Don't overlook the fact that many people like Kurt have put in huge amounts of time and effort to provide free software and excellent documentation as well as advice to users. The software is of top quality and if people are having difficulties, they are interested to get to the bottom of the problems so that they can provide better software, documentation and advice, all for free. cheers, Ken On Tue, 2003-06-24 at 07:01, Bo Mellberg wrote: > Yeah, it really helps me that you come > after I managed to get ANYTHING out of > that printer, and say that all I do is wrong. > > The versions are the the one installed by > RedHat Linux 9 (shrike).

RE: [Samba] Print Problem - printcap file cups
This might be the problem. I had a similar one somewhat more subtle. I compiled Samba 3 and found that CUPS didn't compile in, though requested. It turned out that I had a version of CUPS from a rogue rpm picked up somewhere last year, that was lacking a configuration script that Samba uses when compiling CUPS in. I then compiled and installed a recent version of CUPS that fixed the problem - except that none of the printers appeared in Windows (or with smbclient -L). Changing to printcap name=/etc/printcap fixed the problem. Samba wasn't able to find that file by accessing the CUPS configuration. I then uninstalled the original rpm (which should have been done first off), and reinstalled the later CUPS package. All is now well (apparently).

Re: [Samba] Samba and Cups.
I understand that CUPS sets up a dummy printcap for the use of applications like samba, and it is best left alone. If printcap was changed, then maybe samba can't understand it. Indeed the fact that printing worked for a bit then stopped could even have been due to the delay between the changes being made and samba refreshing its configuration (which is quite short I think).

[Samba] CUPS and Samba 3.0 - printers no show
Hi [Sambas] I have RedHat 8.0, and have installed a compiled CUPS 1.1.19pre4 and Samba 3.0 (latest this week from CVS). It all compiles and installs OK with CUPS support in Samba, but no printers show up (according to smbclient -L or from windoze). A reversion to Samba 2.2.8a works perfectly with the identical setup, including configure options. Installation and use of printers goes through OK. I assume others have had success with Samba 3 and CUPS as I haven't seen any problem posts so far. My ntadmins include administrator accounts for windoze although I have had hassles with permissions that haven't yet been resolved.
