[Samba] FW: Point and Print

[chris]

As an updatee to my last post, things are still not working! The drivers
did get added but I'm still not sure whether I achieved this via the Add
Printer Wizard or despite error messages the rpcclient adddriver did
work. I did wonder if the lsa_io_sec_qos: length c does not match size 8
error is because the printer name is too long, especially as when I
tried a shorter name such as HP2300 - with no spaces the files did end
up in the correct directory!!  
 
I therefore attempted the setdriver command and still get error messages
such as WERR_ACCESS_DENIED. Looking at Google I can see lots of posts
and the suggestion that use client driver = yes in smb.conf should be
altered to use client driver = no . Well I tried this with no success
and even tried once again with the add printer wizard but this time I am
unable to change any of the properties. I also tried changing the
permissions on the /etc/cups/printcap file but it made no difference.
 
I am starting to conclude that either these commands do not work at all
or I am being remarkably thick! I suppose it is possible that the
rpcclient binary is corrupt or the version I am using has a bug in it. I
would very much like to hear if anyone has succeeded in getting this
process to work, particularly with PCL5/6 based printers.
 
As a alternative, I would consider downloading and compiling Samba but I
am curious as to how I can identfy what option were specified when the
packages were built i.e.is it possible to query the packaged version and
identify the compile options originally used.

I recently posted regarding problems configuring Samba. These have all
been fixed but I am now struggling with the point and print facility. I
have attempted to upload the drivers from Windows XP workstations but
this seems to do nothing. So plan B was to manually copy the files to
the appropriate print$ share folder, so far so good. The problem I now
have is that the rpcclient utility simply doesn't work. 
 
Without a debug level set I either get a usage prompt or a DOS code of
0x0000003
 
If I set debug to level 3 it produces the following error:
 
added interface ip=10.0.0.3 bcast=10.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

lsa_io_sec_qos: length c does not match size 8
 
I have Googled with this error and noticed a number of posts but so far
not found an answer
 
The printer concerned is an HP 2300 PCL6 which has a whole string of
file dependencies (48 files in total). The result being that I've had a
lot of trouble with quoting errors (Unix skill still abit rusty) but I
seem to have got to the bottom of that problem.
 
N.B. System is Suse 9.1 running Samba 3.0.4 - (update downloaded this
morning to see if it would solve the problem). Printing is via Cups -
not sure of the version.
 
I would greatly appreciate any help with this problem as it is driving
me mad!!!
