Version 4.0.5-GIT-50c476e
openSUSE 12.3 with CUPS driver on the DC which is printing OK from Linux
clients joined to the domain.
Hi everyone
I have set up printing according to:
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO#Step_13:_Setup_a_Printer_share
My smb.conf looks like this:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /usr/local/samba/var/spool
browseable = Yes
read only = No
printable = Yes
[print$]
comment = Point and Print Printer Drivers
path = /usr/local/samba/var/print
read only = No
But testparm tells me otherwise (notice the browseable = No):
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /usr/local/samba/var/spool
read only = No
printable = Yes
print ok = Yes
browseable = No
[print$]
comment = Point and Print Printer Drivers
path = /usr/local/samba/var/print
read only = No
Although I can't see the 'Printers and Faxes' share in W7 explorer, I
see an empty screen at \\server\printers and when I right click I can
choose 'server properties' and proceed to select the correct driver. The
driver installs fine from a W7 client and the files appear at:
/usr/local/samba/var/print/W32X86/3
However, I cannot print anything from Windows. The printer does not
appear and cannot therefore be selected even though the driver seems to
be correctly installed.
This same config was working fine with 4.0.0. Any ideas what to do to be
able to share the printer using the test branch?
Cheers,
Steve
