[Samba] Samba and cups printing: lp_servicenumber: couldn't find hl5150d

[Peter Weiss]

Hello,

found no answer for the following elsewhere setting up samba on a Debian box:
The printer is seen on the net from the clients but no printing is possible.

$ smbclient -L pichuco

I traced the thing down to the following:

[2005/03/13 13:01:08, 10] printing/print_cups.c:cups_server(51)
  cups server left to default localhost
[2005/03/13 13:01:08, 7] param/loadparm.c:lp_servicenumber(4051)
  lp_servicenumber: couldn't find hl5150d
[2005/03/13 13:01:08, 8] param/loadparm.c:add_a_service(2305)
  add_a_service: Creating snum = 7 for hl5150d

Looking at the sources the printer is first looked up in lp_servicenumber()
and _after that_ the service is added by add_a_service().
Has anyone a hint where to look at?
