[Samba] Print properties are not saved

[Alessandro Dentella]

Hi,

I'm struggling to get a laser color printer working correctly. At first I
wasn't able to save print properties with Ubuntu 10.04. As I read of a bug
[1] that affected samba 3.4 up to 3.5.8 I upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 and samba
3.6.3. Now I'm not even able to upload drivers in the way I always did as
described in [2] and [3] (Italian).


My conf::

  [printers]
      comment = All Printers
      path = /var/spool/samba
      guest ok = Yes
      printable = Yes
      browseable = No

  [print$]
      comment = Printer Drivers
      path = /var/lib/samba/printers
      read only = yes
      write list = @"Domain Admins", root, administrator
      guest ok = Yes

I double checked every single point I understand. I operate ad user
administrator that is a Domain Admin that CAN write in
/var/lib/samba/printers but when I try to upload the driver from an XP
client I get:

  impossibile copiare hplj4650.CF_

  Assicurarsi che la posizione del file *qui sotto* sia corretta oppur
  specificarne un'altra e inserire 'HP Colo... CD' nell'unità scelta


That sounds like :

  no way to copy hplib4650.FC_
  Make sure the posotion of the file belo is correct or specify a different
  one and insert HP Color drive...

How can I debug permissions? I don't find any suspicious log, really when I
get this message I see no log at all in log.smb: does that sound correct?

Not to mention tat the printer is working correctly under Linux, and my real
problem is that I can't make windows set A4 page format.


I'd be willing to make some more trials but I'm running out of ideas...


thanks in advance
