I've got a Samba server that is acting as a member server in a Windows NT Domain. I enabled CUPS printing yesterday and have shared the 4 printers to the domain. I then added the printers onto a Windows 2000 client, and can print just fine to any of them.
But I have two problems (read "annoyances"): 1). When I look at any of the printers from Windows (i.e. Control Panel/Printers) I can see the Samba supplied network printers, but when I click on any of them I see a Status of "Access denied, unable to connect." on the left hand side of the printers window. 2). Because of No. 1 (I think) when I double-click on a network printer, I can't see any of the jobs in the queue for that printer as I should. Anyone ran into these issues before? I have included the smb.conf below for inspection. I'm running Red Hat 8.0, Samba 2.2.7, CUPS 1.1.17. -------------------------------------------------------------------- [global] workgroup = NESBITT_LEX netbios name = valykyrie server string = Linux Backup/Print Server log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 security = domain password server = file-server1 print-server encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n \ *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* pam password change = yes obey pam restrictions = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 local master = no os level = 0 domain master = no preferred master = no domain logons = no wins server = 10.200.8.3 dns proxy = no winbind separator = + winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind cache time = 10 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes winbind use default domain = yes template shell = /bin/bash template homedir = /home/%U printing = cups printcap name = cups load printers = yes #=================== Share Definitions ===================== [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba public = yes guest ok = yes writeable = no printable = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 [backup] comment = Backup Files from Last Night path = /backup browsable = yes writeable = yes valid users = <names deleted for security reasons> create mode = 0777 directory mode = 0777 [cdburn] comment = Files to be written to CD path = /cdburn browsable = yes writeable = yes -- Kevin L.
