Hi Daniel,

I can only offer moral support, I got the same problem but no solution
(yet).
Samba 3.0.28a on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS with OpenLDAP slapd 2.4.9

I read through this :
http://us6.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html#id2620623

But no luck and I want to avoid the whole rpcclient thing.

somebody here
(http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-January/116695.html) pointed to
http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1722545,00.asp
Not sure what it has to do with it but I tried deleting the task thing
(no change)
(It explained where the 2227a280-3aea-1069-a2de-08002b30309d key comes from)

Parts of my smb.conf:

[global]
load printers = yes
printcap name = cups
printing = cups


[print$]
   comment = Printer Drivers
   path = /var/lib/samba/printers
   browseable = yes
   read only = yes
   guest ok = no
   write list = root, @"Domain Admins", @"Domain Users"[print$]
   comment = Printer Drivers
   path = /var/lib/samba/printers
   browseable = yes
   read only = yes
   guest ok = no
   write list = root, @"Domain Admins", @"Domain Users"
# Remove @"Domain Users" asap !!! Need printer setup working for Big
Xerox 7328 MFC


drwxrwxrwx 2 root Domain Admins  4096 2008-11-09 10:48 printers
(I will chmod this back to 775 ASAP)

The printer works in CUPS

root = part of "Domain Admins"
User "root" already member of the group "Domain Admins".

What else did I do ?

Read
man 8 cupsaddsmb

Step 6 here fails:
http://de.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#id2575750

rebooted everything one more time, to give it another try...

Posted this 'cry for help'  msg...

Do I need cupsaddsmb?
I do NOT use RAW printing.


Thanks


Peter
