[Samba] Samba / cups problem
Hi all, I have set up a printer in cups and I can see it with lpstat -a, and I can print to it. I put what I thought was the appropriate stuff in smb.conf, and yet no printer shows up to the NT client I'm testing with, or in smbclient -L output. Any ideas at all? Here is the relevant info: ### smb.conf excerpts ### [global] ... printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 60 load printers = yes ...

RE: [Samba] Samba / cups problem
Misty, This may be a dumb question, but was Samba built with CUPS support? Were the cups-devel libraries present on the system on which your Samba was built? - John T. --- John H Terpstra Samba-Team email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Original Message Subject: [Samba] Samba / cups problem From: Misty Stanley-Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, September 28, 2004 7:59 am To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, I have set up a printer in cups and I can see it with lpstat -a, and I can print to it.

UPDATE Re: [Samba] Samba / cups problem
Here is an update to my problem. The testparm command is reporting this for [printers]: [printers] comment = All Printers path = /data/samba/spool guest ok = Yes printable = Yes print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r browseable = No - But the actual smb.conf has this: [printers] comment = All Printers path = /data/samba/spool print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r browseable = yes public = yes guest ok = yes writeable = no printable = yes Yes I have restarted Samba. No I do not know what is going on. I have only one smb.conf on my whole system. I may be crazy, but damn this is confusing. I think this is why I am not seeing any printers.

Re: UPDATE Re: [Samba] Samba / cups problem
FYI, changing printcap name = cups to printcap name = /etc/printcap did the trick. What a waste of two days! I followed the docs and they always said to use printcap name = cups. Any ideas when / why this changed? Misty On Tuesday 28 September 2004 14:20, Misty Stanley-Jones wrote: Here is an update to my problem.
