[Samba] Add Printer Wizard problem
Hi,
I really need help.
I tried to create a CUPS server but always failed to install Windows
driver on the Server from Windows client using Add Printer Wizard.
The error message from the Windows client is: Unable to install HP
Laserjet 4050, Windows 2000, Intel server. Operation could not be completed
Currently I set the printer installed on CUPS server as a local printer,
eventhough it is a network printer. I will change it once I get this
works. I have also create directory /etc/samba/drivers.
Error log message on var/log/samba:

[Samba] Add printer wizard (XP)
Hello list
I have been really wowed by samba 3 so far, i just have one last mission
to complete... please help!
I have samba 3.0.2a-SuSE installed on a SuSE 9.0 box. It uses winbind to
authenticate against a win server 2003 box - this seems to work fine,
users can own files and this is shown when getfacl is run on the shares
(owned by DOMAIN\User).
The last problem i have is adding printers...
The add printer wizard shows for the windows domain administrator, and
he can add a printer right untill the last screen of the wizard - when
he clicks the finish button, it shows the error:
Add Printer Wizard
Unable to Install Printer. Access is denied.
The only thing i can think of is that he has no permission to add a cups
printer? The driver files are correctly copied across to PRINT$, but
then straight after this the error appears.
Here is my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = MYDOMAIN
server string = samba test
security = DOMAIN
password server = pwdserver
log level = 1
syslog = 0
socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY

write list = @ntadmin, root, MYDOMAIN\administrator
printer admin = @ntadmin, root, MYDOMAIN\administrator
read only = No
create mask = 0644

As stated, everything else seems to be working fine.
/var/lib/samba/drivers is owned by MYDOMAIN\Administrator and is chmod
777 (desperate!)
/var/tmp is 777
@ntadmin is a mapped group of Domain Admins
Thanks in advance!

You need 2 things for this to work:
1.) a setting in smb.conf add printer command = /path/to/smb-add-printer-script.sh
2.) an actual smb-add-printer-script.sh script in named path
So far, I don't know of anyone who has written a reliably working add
printer command script which works with CUPS.
By own efforts got stuck some time ago because of a weird re-naming problem
(Samba re-named my newly created printer because it executed the script a
2nd time somehow)
I will probably revisit that topic within the next few weeks.
The point is that the script needs to take the variables to run CUPS lpadmin
from what the user filled into the Add Printer Wizard fields
The only thing i can think of is that he has no permission to add a cups
printer? The driver files are correctly copied across to PRINT$, but
then straight after this the error appears.
The usefulness of the APW for you (without the add printer command) is
currently limited to add new drivers and for existing printqueues
Here is my smb.conf:

Re: [Samba] Add printer wizard (XP)
Thanks, i will give it a bash ;)
I am quite keen to use the APW at this site because the admin is a die
hard Windows/GUI user and freezes up like a deer in the headlights
whenever 'terminal' is mentioned!
Would it be better to use another printing subsystem?
Also, is there any way to make the printers on the samba server just
'links' to the ip printers? IE when clients connect they download the
drivers and then print directly to the printers ip, not the samba server.
Thanks again,
Hamish

[Samba] Add Printer Wizard- The specifcied network password is not correct.
I'm trying to get the Add Printer Wizard to add printers from a WinXP Pro workstation and am gettting the error Unable to install IBM 4037 5E, Windows 2000 or CP,Intel driver. The specificied network password is not correct. This is a new installation of Debian 3.0 and Samba 3.0.1-2.

Click Server Properties Go to Drivers tab Click Add, Next, and Choose Have Disk Browse to my printer driver files. Click Next and choose driver versions.

[Samba] Add Printer Wizard and Slowness
Hello all, We have a Samba box set up as our primary campus print server, running CUPS 1.1.19 and Samba 3.3.0. Our primary interface for adding printers is the Add Printer Wizard. I am finding very slow response while adding/modifying/deleting printers. Making changes to any of the settings for a printer (default tray, driver, etc) can take 20-40 seconds or will sometimes timeout, requiring a Samba restart before any of the printers will show again. Sometimes I can avoid this by restarting Samba ahead of time, which kills all the active Samba connections to the server (usually around 50). I can then get several minutes of acceptable response time. One of my thoughts was plaque in our ntdrivers.tdb file which is loaded with drivers that are no longer in use. I was using the CUPS prescribed cupsaddsmb script to set up Windows drivers until I had unending problems finding ppds that worked across operating systems. As a result, the .tdb files are filled with a few hundred drivers named after queues that don't exist, along with the normal dozen or so real drivers straight from the vendor. I cannot delete these from Windows and am working up a Perl script to do so using the TDB_File module. There is plenty of RAM and load on the server is very low (Pentium 3, 1.0 GHz). No problems with actual printing or driver downloads, and we are currently at 100 printers (eventually 200). Is it possible that tdb file plaque is to blame for our APW problems? If not, any suggestions as to what could cause this? === Here is testparm output: Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf Processing section [printers] Processing section [print$] Processing section [drivers] Loaded services file OK.

[Samba] Add Printer Wizard Plus CUPS
I'm having some problems with our Samba Add-Printer-Wizard setup and CUPS. Everything is working fine (drivers upload, download, configured) except for one thing. Both my addprinter and deleteprinter scripts are forced to restart Samba in order to successfully complete their respective adding and deleting. Because of this, sometimes Samba will not come back up correctly. I read that normally Samba will re-read smb.conf and pick up any printer entries and complete the process. However, when dealing with CUPS as the printing subsystem, the printers are stored separately in (usually) /etc/cups/printers.conf. If I do not restart Samba during this process, the client receives an Access denied error message. Is there a way to get Samba to read the CUPS printers conf info without restarting Samba? Thank you.

Re: [Samba] Add Printer Wizard
Okay! I've managed to defeat this obstacle. I did it all manually using smbclient and rpcclient. Printer drivers work. However, Windows is producing VERY VERY BAD quality output. Totally grainy. It does not do this when using hte printer through the normal WIndows server's shared printer (this is a TCP/IP printer, directly supporting IPP, we are using the windows server/samba servers just to centralize it). Windows is using the native drivers for this printer, which are postscript. So, I assume, samba shold be receiving a postscript file from Windows, and in turn sending that to cups... so at first glance I wouldn't think Samba was at fault... but since it only happens when samba is involved, I don't know. All the settings for the printer are at their highest. When printing directly to CUPs using a Unix workstation, quality is just fine.

Re: [Samba] Add Printer Wizard
Okay, I have done as you said: Printing from Unix - Cups, the image is fine. I have added the printer in W2K, as a IPP printer (W2K supports that), I set the driver to the correct driver, but the image quality is not good. So, this is obviously not samba's fault. Hope you don't mind me asking here then, what could hte problem be? What would windows see differently with CUPs/Samba VS Unix? Windows to Windows works, Windows to Cups or Samba doesn't!

Re: [Samba] Add Printer Wizard
Cancel that! Thank you for all you guy's help. I had the printer in CUPs configured as an HP (which it is...). I set it to RAW, and now both sides are working fine.

The HP options include a number of drivers - including one marked 'postscript'. That should also have been the noop that RAW is, but will convert non-postscript input (such an a .jpg file etc) from the unix side.

[Samba] Add Printer Wizard
I'm having a bit of trouble getting a Samba printer set up. What I have is a postscript capable HP laserjet. It actually has IPP/HTTP and stuff on it. I need queueing to work, so my clients can't print to it directly, so what I want to do is: Get the printer set up on a central CUPs server: done. Printing quality is perfect from Unix machines. Thank you postscript! Have samba print to that printer as well, this, I have working, but it's not pretty. The quality is horrible, and im not sure why. Things are grainy, blocky, etc. This is printing from a Windows computer (with teh HP laserJet PS drivers installed). Samba is messing up my image quality! Not sure what is causing that. I also can't seem to get the Add Printer Drivers wizard to work right. I followed the instructions in the 3.0 howto as best as I could. My samba admin user, is named samba, he has a uid 0. It's stored in LDAP. It works for joining computers to the domain. I added samba to printer admin, and when I try to loginto a Windows computer, as this user, and add a driver, I get: Access Denied. I'm not sure what I'm being denied access too! This user has uid 0. After setting all this up, can I expect queue's to be consistant? I need to see, in the Windows queue, unix jobs submitted directly to cups. On the cup's queue, I'd like to see window's jobs. Also, can samba be made to spool to cups AS it's receiving from the client? We regularly print out 900 page jobs, which take 30 pages to print from the client to the server. If the client has to sit there and spool all 900 pages before the job can even start, we've doubled our print time! As of now, Windows will start printing INSTATLY upon receiving data from the client, this may be more like buffering than spooling.
