Thank you Andrew!
The only thing that is not working after the upgrade is the samba/cups print server.
In /var/log/samba/smb.log i get this errors:
Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost:631 - Bad file descriptor
failed to retrieve printer list: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
My smb.conf print options are:
[global]
spoolss: architecture = Windows x64
rpc_server:spoolss = external
rpc_daemon:spoolssd = fork
[printers]
comment = shared printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = Yes
read only = No
printable = Yes
printing = CUPS
[print$]
comment = print drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
read only = No
I don't see my printers in the Microsoft RSAT printer management tool and this tool also don't show the Windows printer drivers stored in /var/lib/samba/printers.
How can i fix this?
