[Samba] No joy adding a CUPS printer
I'm trying to change my Samba setup from LPD to CUPS, with little success. I've followed [and re-followed] the setup documentation from CUPS and I just can't get Samba to recognize my printer. The catch is - it sort of recognizes it :-( First I added these lines to my smb.conf: = [global] load printers = yes printing = cups printcap name = cups [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba print ok = Yes browseable = No printer admin = root [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /etc/samba/drivers browseable = yes guest ok = no read only = yes write list = root I fetched and installed all of the various driver files into the CUPS driver directory: = [root samba]# ls -l /usr/share/cups/drivers/ total 5704 -rwxr--r--1 root root 575573 Dec 10 16:11 ADFONTS.MFM -rwxr--r--1 root root 1295840 Dec 10 16:07 ADOBEPS4.DRV -rwxr--r--1 root root 196460 Dec 10 16:07 ADOBEPS4.HLP -rwxr--r--1 root root 457600 Dec 10 16:09 ADOBEPS5.DLL -rwxr--r--1 root root 135680 Dec 10 16:09 ADOBEPSU.DLL -rwxr--r--1 root root18451 Dec 10 16:07 ADOBEPSU.HLP -r--r--r--1 root root14234 Sep 24 2002 cups5.hlp -r--r--r--1 root root 280364 Dec 1 14:53 cupsdrv5.dll -r--r--r--1 root root 219540 Dec 1 14:53 cupsui5.dll -rwxr--r--1 guestguest 13492 Mar 9 2000 DEFPRTR2.PPD -rwxr--r--1 root root 118128 Dec 10 16:10 ICONLIB.DLL -rwxr--r--1 guestguest 129024 Aug 17 2001 PS5UI.DLL -rwxr--r--1 guestguest 455168 Aug 17 2001 PSCRIPT5.DLL -rwxr--r--1 guestguest 26038 Jul 21 2001 PSCRIPT.HLP -rwxr--r--1 guestguest 792644 Jul 21 2001 PSCRIPT.NTF -rwxr--r--1 guestguest 969400 Jul 21 2001 PSCRPTFE.NTF -rwxr--r--1 root root57344 Dec 10 16:10 PSMON.DLL Then I ran 'cupsaddsmb' in verbose mode: [root samba]# cupsaddsmb -v -U root -a Password for root required to access localhost via SAMBA: Running command: smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N -U'root%' -c 'mkdir W32X86;put /var/spool/cups/tmp/3fd7b39ff37ad W32X86/lp.PPD;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/ADOBEPS5.DLL W32X86/ADOBEPS5.DLL;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/ADOBEPSU.DLL W32X86/ADOBEPSU.DLL;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/ADOBEPSU.HLP W32X86/ADOBEPSU.HLP' added interface ip=63.225.98.241 bcast=63.225.98.247 nmask=255.255.255.248 added interface ip=192.168.1.101 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.7a] NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_COLLISION making remote directory \W32X86 putting file /var/spool/cups/tmp/3fd7b39ff37ad as \W32X86/lp.PPD (19141.7 kb/s) (average 19143.6 kb/s) putting file /usr/share/cups/drivers/ADOBEPS5.DLL as \W32X86/ADOBEPS5.DLL (44687.1 kb/s) (average 42365.3 kb/s) putting file /usr/share/cups/drivers/ADOBEPSU.DLL as \W32X86/ADOBEPSU.DLL (44165.2 kb/s) (average 42751.3 kb/s) putting file /usr/share/cups/drivers/ADOBEPSU.HLP as \W32X86/ADOBEPSU.HLP (18016.8 kb/s) (average 41102.5 kb/s) Running command: rpcclient localhost -N -U'root%' -c 'adddriver Windows NT x86 lp:ADOBEPS5.DLL:lp.PPD:ADOBEPSU.DLL:ADOBEPSU.HLP:NULL:RAW:NULL' cmd = adddriver Windows NT x86 lp:ADOBEPS5.DLL:lp.PPD:ADOBEPSU.DLL:ADOBEPSU.HLP:NULL:RAW:NULL Printer Driver lp successfully installed.

[Samba] No joy adding a CUPS printer
[Samba] No joy adding a CUPS printer Gary Thomas gary at chez-thomas.org Thu Dec 11 00:09:26 GMT 2003 I'm trying to change my Samba setup from LPD to CUPS, with little success. I've followed [and re-followed] the setup documentation from CUPS and I just can't get Samba to recognize my printer. The catch is - it sort of recognizes it :-( [] [root samba]# rpcclient localhost -Uroot% -c 'getdriver lp' cmd = getdriver lp Error opening printer handle for lp! result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL Alas, I'm stuck :-( Windows (XP Home if it matters) Home *might* matter... but most likely not with the symptoms you described. What does your (remaining) smb.conf look like? (Please send it without the comments...) stalls trying to install this printer, telling me I don't have the proper drivers installed. Most likely because of the 'getdriver' issue above. What do you get for [root samba]# rpcclient localhost -Uroot% -c 'enumprinters' [root samba]# rpcclient localhost -Uroot% -c 'enumprinters 2' [root samba]# rpcclient localhost -Uroot% -c 'enumprinters 3' ?? IIRC, the getdriver in some late 2.2.x versions had problems I'm running Samba 2.2.7a-7.9.0 - stock from Red Hat 9.0 Any ideas or help would be appreciated. 1/ Try to run cupstestppd against the PPD in question. Fix problems by editing it. If your stock install doesn't have this cupstestppd utility available, then try the online version here: http://www.cups.org/testppd.php 2/ It could still be a problem with the PPD, even if it passes the cupstestppd test. I've 2 PPDs here which I can't get to work even with Samba-3.0.1rc1. As soon as I change the PPD to a different one, it works! (Will submit a bugzilla report as soon as I can figure out details again) 3/ Try to change the printer name to another one than lp (wild guess) 4/ Check at http://www.linuxprinting.org/; if you can find a newer PPD. Is the current one still calling for cupsomatic as its *cupsFilter? (See at head of PPD file...) In that case read the linuxprinting.org docu (or the section in the HOWTO Collection for 3.0 -- it is applicable to 2.2.7a also!) and download the newer PPDs + foomatic-rip (foomatic-rip replaces cupsomatic). Might work then My wife really wants her printer back :-) Oh -- its not wants her husband back ?? ;-) Thanks -- Gary Thomas gary at chez-thomas.org Cheers, Kurt -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
