samba - Dec 2003 - Cups and Samba Access Denied

I purchased the Samba 3.0 book and it has gotten me pretty far but I finally
had to go to the mailing list for this problem.

Here is the issue, I am running Debian (woody) with samba 3.0.1-2 and cupsys
1.1.14-5 I have also installed cupsys-bsd cupsys-client and smbclient
foomatic-bin and as2ps follwing this
http://excess.org/docs/linux_windows_printing.html advice. Samba is running
in Domain mode and I can log on to the network and connect to file shares
just fine.

Here is the issue: My printer will show up if in my xp box if I browse the
entire network, but if I double click it or right click on it, I get
"Operation could not be completed. access denied". I have managed to
connect
to this printer by adding a local printer in XP and choosing the create port
option. But if I choose network option it asks me for a user name and
password and I get access denied. I have raw printing running and when I
create the port it seems to be working fine but for some reason I cannot
instlal it like a network printer on a NT box. Here the parts of my smb.conf
file:

### 1.4 - Printing ###

  printing = cups
  printcap name = cups
  load printers = yes
    # If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
    # than setting them up individually then you'll need this.

  show add printer wizard = yes


[printers]
  comment = All Printers
  browseable = yes
  path = /home/spooler
  printable = yes
  public = yes
  writable = no
  guest ok = no
  printer admin = jared, @IT
  create mode = 0700
  use client driver = yes
  print command = lpr -r -oraw -P%p %s

[print$]
    # Some Windows clients will look for this share to hold
    # printer drivers.
  comment = Printer Drivers
  path = /home/drivers
  browseable = yes
  read only = yes
  guest ok = yes
  read only = yes
  write list = jared, @administrators

I log in as jared for testing purposes. I have the print$ share up with all
the proper directories but I do not have any drivers installed, this is
becuase when I try to do it through XP I get "Operation could not be
completed. access denied".


Thanks for any insight and if you want my entire smb.conf let me know.

Hi all,

When I start samba 3 on SUSE 8.2, I am gettig following error message.

I re-installed the samba, also re-booted the machine, any help to fix this .

Jared,

I feel with you. I am the author of the book. :)

I recommend that you update to CUPS 1.1.18 or later and make sure that
your Samba-3.0.1 is linked specifically with its libraries. That will help
resolve some of your issues.

Given that you are using CUPS the "print command" will not be issued
since
Samba will print direct via he cups libraries.

By specifying "use client driver" you prevent the upload of the driver
files. Here is my printing section, as it is on my network:

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printer admin = root, jht
        create mask = 0600
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes
        use client driver = Yes
        default devmode = Yes
        browseable = No

For this system I do not want to upload drivers. The permissions on the
/var/spool/samba directory are: 1755.

Also, did you make sure that you uncommented the lines in the /etc/mime.*
files that have?

application/octet-stream ...

That will permit CUPS to print fully pre-processed jobs that your client
driver file prepared to go directly to the printer.

The "use client driver" kind of defeats having this share. :)

Hi Jared,

You have already removed "print command" and "use client
driver" lines
I would suggest you try to make it "guest ok = yes"
And also make /home/spooler chmod 777
I have the access denied message before and once I made the "printers"
share
directory 777, the message is gone with the wind, worth a try

Good Luck, and Happy New Year
