[Samba] cupsaddsmb and samba

[Laurent Hubert]

Hello,

I tried to find a way to having the setup of cups printing working for
windows client. I end up now with

"cupsaddsmb -v -a -U root" finishing  by

"Printer Driver mesange successfully installed.
Running command: rpcclient localhost -N -U'root%xxxxxxxx' -c 'setdriver
mesange mesange'
cmd = setdriver mesange mesange
result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL" 

My setup is 
Redhat 8.0
Samba 2.2.6-2 (rpm) (recent download)
cups 1.1.15-10 (rpm)

1- Filesharing works ok but not the printer
2- Native linux cups printing works ok
3- For sercurity = domain,  even with joined to domain, cupsaddsmb keeps
asking for root (smb) password. In fact, the error is rise with «
rpcclient localhost -N -U root... »  while a smbclient -L localhost -U
root will work.

4-For sercurity= server, cupsaddsmb transfert the adobe drivers to
/etc/samba/drivers almost work. But end with 

cmd = setdriver mesange mesange
result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

The smb.conf is given above this letter
Any idea? Or there is there a work around to cupsaddsmb for cups
printing wiht samba

Is there a versions of « cups »- « samba »- «redhat or debian »
demonstrated to work.


Thanks for your help
Laurent
