Hi,
I've a problem with Samba 3.0.1: printing with cups works fine when I
install the driver on windows (2000/NT) manual. But setting up a print$
share for downloading the drivers on the fly doesn't work. I installed
the drivers with cupsaddsmb, which seems to work fine. No error is shown
(even with -v). When I try to install the driver on windows it says that
the server hasn't any drivers and I should install them manual. Showing
the printer properties with right click on the printer doesn't work,
too. The following error shows up in the samba log:
[2004/01/14 10:37:14, 0] lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(595)
ERROR: string overflow by 1 (17 - 16) in safe_strcpy
[FBA2-100-0030051FDEFC]
FBA2-100-0030051FDEFC seems to be something like the name of the
printer, I saw it under windows, too.
When I use Samba 2.2.8a with the same configuration, everything works fine.
smb.conf:
# Global parameters
[global]
encrypt passwords = Yes
map to guest = Bad User
log file = /usr/local/samba2/log.%m
printer admin = root
guest ok = Yes
printing = cups
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /tmp
create mask = 0700
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[print$]
comment = Printer Driver Download Area
path = /usr/local/samba/drivers
write list = root
The System is an old one with libc-2.1.3 and cups-1.1.20.
