[Samba] Basic standalone print server

[Luis Peromarta]

Good day all.

I am setting up a basic standalone server for printing. smb.conf:


[global]
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m
        log level = 1
        server role = standalone server

# Printing options in [global] section of smb.conf
      printing = CUPS
      spoolss: architecture = Windows x64
      load printers = yes

[drivers]
        # This share requires authentication to access
        path = /var/lib/samba/drivers/
        read only = yes
        inherit permissions = yes


[printers]
     path = /var/tmp/
     printable = yes


CUPS printer are set up and working just fine. However Samba not showing the printers .

It’s got to be something very simple but I can’t figure it out.
