We all know there are workarounds for this and what surprises me more s that after 8 months NO FIX! I just took my install of ubuntu 12.04 to the latest samba packages from Raring and the problem is still there . I was already running CUPS 1.61. What I did notice is something I did not see before when I ran
cupsaddsmb -H localhost -U root -h localhost -a -v It returned an error about an invalid printer . So then I run rpcclient -U root localhost -c enumdrivers and rpcclient -U root localhost -c enumprinters And only one driver and two printers (one is PDF) . The PDF printer nor driver are anywhere t be fund but the driver for the PDF printer was made available to windows! What gets even weirder is that I cn print to the PDF printer via Samba and a postscript driver! Considering that samba does not even see it as installed thats odd Is this a samba bug or cups bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967410 Title: Windows clients cannot connect to shared printers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/967410/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
