[Samba] How the program spoolss works ?

[nathalie ramat]

Hello,

I test samba 4.9.5 in my debian buster . Almost everything works. My 
last problem concerns the printers.

I  could need some help explaining my logs .I have this :

/usr/sbin/smbd: reloading printcap cache

/usr/sbin/smbd: reload status: ok

/usr/sbin/smbd: pid_to_procid: messaging_dgm_get_unique failed: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

/usr/sbin/smbd: send_all_fn: messaging_send_buf to 15718 failed: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND


I want to use cups for my printers. Cups is ok - On my server, i can print all documents.

I use in my smb.conf

load printers = yes
printing= cups
printcap name = cups
disable spoolss = no


[printers]

comment = all printers
path=/var/spool/samba
writable =yes
printable =yes
guest ok = yes
use client driver = yes

The above error message will appear but I can create my printer on my windows client .I can print also.



The message disappeared when I use the command disable spoolss = yes but I can't create printer on my windows client.

I obtains this message : spoolss is not a registered pipe .
It's normal - I have disable it . spoolss is necessary.


But how works this programm  -  Samba want to access a directory that does not exist or on which it does not have the rights . But I have no information on this directory or files. How can I have it ?

Thanks

Nathalie
