[Samba] samba rpcclient & cups problem

[Johnny Shih]

Hello guys,

I am having trouble to get CUPS printer share setup properly via samba. 
  The setup was done following Samba-HOWTO-Collection document, Chapter 
7 (CUPS).  The problem was when using *cupsaddsmb*, rpcclient can't seem 
to connect to the server (localhost).  The actual output is below :

=============================
[root at my-server samba]# cupsaddsmb -v -U johnny -a

=============================

It looks me the rpcclient cannot connect to the server (localhost), it 
knows nowhere to send the configurations?
