[Samba] Samba does not 'see' all the cups printers

[Bert_De_Ridder at peopleware.be]

Hi, all,

I have a weird problem; I have 3 working cups printers on Suse linux 9.
All 3 are networked printers. 

I use the following statements in smb.conf : 
        printing = cups
        load printers = yes
        printcap name = /etc/printcap

[printers]
        comment = SMB Print Spool
        path = /var/spool/samba
        guest ok = yes
        writeable = no
        public = yes
        printable = yes
        browsable = No
        printer admin = root, bdridder
        use client driver = Yes

this is the content of /etc/printcap

# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /etc/cups/printers.conf file.  All changes to this file
# will be lost.

HPCL2500|Colour Laserjet - use only when needed:rm=GOSCINNY:rp=HPCL2500:

If I use printcap name = cups in smb.conf, NO printers show up at all.
If I use /etc/printcap, only HPCL2500 shows up in the Printers folder of 
the server. 

Does anybody have an idea how this can happen ?

Re: [Samba] Samba and LDAP Base DN






Misty,

If your binddn has changed you need to re-run:

                 smbpasswd -w 'secret'

to update your secrets.tdb file.
