Re: Problem in sharing printers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Be sure samba is starting after CUPS. Try restarting samba and see if printers are accessible after you restart it.

sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

or

sudo service smbd restart
sudo service nmbd restart

Hi.

I've configured a Samba PDC controller on which I've configured a couple of printers using Cups.
I've set up the relevant config according to the documentation, so:

load printers = Yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups

[print$]
         comment = Printer Drivers
         path = /dati/samba/drivers
         browseable = yes
         guest ok = no
         read only = yes
         write list = root,administrator,"@Domain Admins"
         directory mask = 0775
         create mask = 0775
         directory mask = 0775
         create mask = 0775
         force create mode = 0775
         force directory mode = 6775

[printers]
         comment = All Printers
         path = /var/spool/samba
         browseable = Yes
         public = Yes
         guest ok = Yes
         writable = No
         printable = Yes
         write list = root,administrator,"@Domain Admins"




The problem is that if I browse \\server I get the list of shares, including the two cups printers. If I go into the printer subfolder I see two printers with no name, so when I try to edit properties to upload drivers it complains printer has no name.
Same happens if I go back to server shares' "root" and I try to add the printer, I get asked for the drivers, provide them, then when finishes copyin it complains the printer has no name or it's not on the server anymore.

What could be the problem?
thanks
