It would seem that the rpc printing is not working for me, my config is as
follows :
Samba 2.2.0a on Slackware 8, preinstalled (I have samba 2.2.2 untarred, but
I am hesitant to upgrade this production server as last time I upgraded a
slackware box, it used a different path setup and I ended up with half 2.0
samba and half 2.2!)
testparm output at end of email.
my problem is that if I go to the Printers Folder on the server (picard)
from a workstation (all NT4), nothing appears - not even Add Printer.
if I have a [printers] section defined, epson and lp both appear in the
share list, so the printcap is readable and parsed correctly. I have tried
with load printers = no as well as = yes.
How do I get the printers to appear here?
(Sorry about the length of this message, I thought it best to include the
testparm output, then any default values in the slackware make of samba
would show up.)
/etc/printcap lines that matter :
# Generic printer:
lp:lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd:sh
# Epson inkjet printer
epson|st800;r=300x300;q=medium;c=full;p=a4;m=auto:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/epson:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/epson/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/epson/acct:\
output from testparm :
