Your problem is trivial, Matt, but you're not doing
the right thing to find out how trivial it is. By
opting "-v" in your "cupsaddsmb" call in you are
seeing only the client's point of view on the problem.
There is much more going on on the server side, which
rpcclient cannot show because its crystal ball is
as usual dusted over and it doesn't get much of
diagnostic from the rpc_server, just go/no-go.
Do yourself a favour and proceed as follows:
0. insert the option "debug timestamps = Yes" in your
smb.conf and let it take effect. "smb restart" or
psj smbd | \
while read pid pid rest;
do kill -HUP $pid;
done
would do.
1. cd to the samba log dir and clean up your host's
(WINS name for localhost) file, e.g.
cd /var/log/samba
> yourhost.log
2. increase debugging level liberally, e.g.
smbcontrol smbd debug 9999
3. do your
cupsaddsmb -v -U root oki7200
4. reduce debugging level to normal
smbcontrol smbd debug 1
5. try to make sense of so much static noise in
"yourhost.log". If you need help, gzip and
mail the file to someone (I volunteer).
Cheers
