Hi,
I've just installed samba 2.0.7 and cups 1.1.5 from the suse distrib. I
also installed the new HP drivers for the DJ printers. Cups prints fine
in my linux box.
I also configured samba. The disks shares work ok. I'm having problems
with the printer shares.
Here are my global and printer configurations:
[global]
workgroup = workgroup
guest account = nobody
keep alive = 30
os level = 2
kernel oplocks = false
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
interfaces = 192.168.0.2/16
wins support = no
map to guest = Bad User
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
printable = yes
public = no
read only = yes
create mode = 0700
directory = /tmp
With the above, the printer shares don't show in my win98 box. If I
replace 'printcap name = cups' with 'printcap name = /etc/printcap', the
printer queues show up in the win98 machine, but when I try to configure
them I get a warning saying that the printer is offline.
I browsed the mailing list archive, and the suggested solution was to
use 'cups' in 'printing' and 'printcap name', but that does not solve my
problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
