[Samba] RH Enterprise Question

[Danny Ho]

Hi,

If one of the users go into my network places. Right click on the printer. Left click on install. This will install the driver automatically. Do I change
The path = /your/path 
And copy the drivers into that path?
Do I chmod 775 /your/path?

  Danny,

  These are the options that I explicitly set to make Samba/CUPS printing work for me.  Note: These may or may not be what you want.

  [global]
  load printers = Yes
  show add printer wizard = Yes
  printing = cups
  printcap name = cups
  use client driver = No

  [printers]
  comment = All Printers
      path = /your/path
      public = Yes
      guest ok = Yes
      browseable = No
      printable = Yes
      admin users = @"DOMAIN\Domain Admins", DOMAIN\dale
      writeable = No

  [print$]
      comment = Printer Driver Download Area
      path = /your/path
      browseable = Yes
      guest ok = No
      read only = Yes
      write list = @"DOMAIN\Domain Admins", DOMAIN\dale
      admin users = @"DOMAIN\Domain Admins", DOMAIN\dale

  As you can see, we are on a domain, and the permissions that I used on the directory that contains the print drivers are 775 and owned by root:"domain users".
  If you are using the postscript drivers in CUPS, have you tried printing from within Linux to verify that CUPS is OK?
  Since the steps were not intuitive for me, the first time I set this up took a lot of trial and error.  I hope this gives a clue as to what might work for you.

  Good luck,

  Dale

      Danny,

      Every configuration that I've seen that uses "printing  =  cups" also sets "printcap name = cups".
      See if that helps you.

      Good luck,

      Dale
