Hi,
I am trying to upgrade from samba 3.0.21c to 3.0.23b, however when I do
this, samba looses all the settings for the printer drivers such as
paper type (letter vs. A4), number of trays, installed memory etc. for
the printers.
When I upgrade I copy the following tdb files from the old installation:
private/secrets.tdb
var/locks/account_policy.tdb
var/locks/group_mapping.tdb
var/locks/ntdrivers.tdb
var/locks/ntforms.tdb
var/locks/ntprinters.tdb
var/locks/registry.tdb
var/locks/share_info.tdb
var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb
I am able to dump the content of ntdrivers.tdb, ntforms.tdb and
ntprinters.tdb using tdbdump, and it seem to be okay.
In the new 3.0.23b I added support for CUPS printing, but I dont see how
this would break the old tdb-files?
Am I doing something wrong? Or is newest samba not able to read the
settings from 3.0.21c tdb-files?
I checked the logfiles but didnt find anything suspicious with regards
to the printing issue. Any hints on debugging this problem?
Regards,
