Hello,
I am trying to setup a Samba 3.0.x Network, which should replace an
old Samba 2.2.7 network. We do have three Printers in the Network
which are handled by Cups. I would like to share these printer via
Samba.
But if I try to add these printer on a windows box via (rough
english translation from German)t:
DESKTOP --> NETWORK --> SAMBA SERVER --> PRINTER
Than I am getting these:
"thomas (192.168.2.88) couldn't find service ::
{2227a280-3aea-1069-a2de-08002b30309d}"
I search for this phrase in google, but the anwsers did not giving
me an idea.
If I do:
START --> PROPERTIES --> PRINTER --> NEW PRINTER --> NETWORK PRINTER
--> "PRINTER NAME <empty> <next>" --> SAMBA SERVER --> PRINTER (FS
1050)
than it seems to work, but each click on Properties giving the
result, that the printer drivers should not be installed properly -
even after a new installation of the drivers.
If I am adding the printing via --> NETWORK PRINTER --> URL (of the
cups server:631/printer/,,,) than everything is working flawless -
but of course without the printer driver deployment and so on. Any
idea ?
smb.conf:
[...]
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printcap cache time = 750
printer admin = stonki, @users
[...]
[printers]
use client driver = yes
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
write list = stonki, thomas
Thanks
