Hi list,
I have an NT4-style domain controller running on Samba 4.2.14-debian
(Debian Jessie) that is acting as a file server. I am reading through the
documentation, and attempting to use it as a print server as well. I have
added the share declarations that I believed I needed, and CUPS is working
properly with a test printer. Below is my smb.conf file (some sections
redacted):
[global]
workgroup = REDACTED
netbios name = REDACTED
server string = REDACTED
interfaces = eth1
bind interfaces only = Yes
security = USER
pam password change = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *new*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *updated*
unix password sync = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
client max protocol = NT1
name resolve order = wins hosts bcast
printcap name = /dev/null
disable spoolss = Yes
logon script = login.bat
logon drive = h:
domain logons = Yes
os level = 255
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
wins support = Yes
lock directory = /var/cache/samba
idmap config * : range = 1000-1999999
idmap config * : backend = tdb
admin users = @domainadmins
write list = @domainadmins
[printers]
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
print ok = Yes
browseable = No
[print$]
path = /usr/local/share/print
read only = No
map acl inherit = Yes
store dos attributes = Yes
vfs objects = acl_xattr
[KM-400]
path = /var/spool/samba/
printable = Yes
print ok = Yes
printer name = KM-400-Test
/var/spool/samba is owned by root:root, with 777 permissions, and the
sticky bit set. /usr/local/share/print is owned by root:domainadmins, with
the Windows ACLs on it.
I used Windows Explorer (from Windows 7) to navigate to \\Samba\print$, and
change the permissions from there. I have applied a local group policy to
allow me to connect to that server.
After reloading Samba's configuration, I open up Print Management, and add
the server to the list of servers. If I then try to interact with the
server in any way (i.e. add a print driver or a printer), it comes up with
an error message, "Failed to add driver. Double check the printer name and
make sure the printer is connected to the network."
What should I try next?
