Ok... here we go,
I have a server running RH 7.3, samba 2.2.3a, and CUPS 1.1.14. All the
printers we have are networked printers sitting off of Linksys
printservers. On this server I am sharing all off our printers out via
Samba. See my smb.conf file below. This server works perfectly. All
printers are shared out successfully.
Primary CUPS server:
[global]
workgroup = NEW
security = DOMAIN
server string = Samba Server v.2.2.3a
encrypt passwords = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log
max log size = 0
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
printcap name = cups
os level = 30
printing = cups
load printers = yes
print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s
lpq command = lpstat -o %p
lprm command = cancel %p-%j
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s
lpq command = lpstat -o %p
lprm command = cancel %p-%j
printer admin = @ntadm,root
Then... I have another server I want to configure as my CUPS backup
printing server. This PC is running RH 7.2, samba 2.2.3a, and CUPS
1.1.14. I've installed all printers exactly the same as on the primary
CUPS server. The problem I am haiving is that samba is having trouble
sharing out my printers right. What I see in Network Neighborhood
under this PC is my two shares, and they are ok, then my printers which
are not ok. My printers have the names like "}", "DAEMON = cupsd",
"else", and "fi". Like it is reading code instead of my acual printer
names. This is really perplexing because I have the same smb.conf setup
for this server as the primary CUPS server that is working. See below...
Secondary CUPS server:
[global]
workgroup = NEW
server string = Samba Server v.2.2.3a
security = DOMAIN
encrypt passwords = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log
max log size = 0
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
printcap name = cups
os level = 30
printing = cups
load printers = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printer admin = @ntadm,root
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s
lpq command = lpstat -o %p
lprm command = cancel %p-%j
browseable = No
Something from the logs:
Sep 11 07:35:43 retainer smbd[1997]: [2002/09/11 07:35:43, 0]
printing/pcap.c:pcap_printername_ok(288)
Sep 11 07:35:43 retainer smbd[1997]: Unable to open printcap file cups
for read!
- This is not a message i need to be seeing... how do i fix it?
Anyways..... if someone knows what the heck I am doing wrong please feel
free to let me know.
