[Samba] Samba 3.0.1: Problems with downloading printer driver
Hi, I've a problem with Samba 3.0.1: printing with cups works fine when I install the driver on windows (2000/NT) manual. But setting up a print$ share for downloading the drivers on the fly doesn't work. I installed the drivers with cupsaddsmb, which seems to work fine. No error is shown (even with -v). When I try to install the driver on windows it says that the server hasn't any drivers and I should install them manual. Showing the printer properties with right click on the printer doesn't work, too. The following error shows up in the samba log: [2004/01/14 10:37:14, 0] lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(595) ERROR: string overflow by 1 (17 - 16) in safe_strcpy [FBA2-100-0030051FDEFC] FBA2-100-0030051FDEFC seems to be something like the name of the printer, I saw it under windows, too. When I use Samba 2.2.8a with the same configuration, everything works fine. smb.conf: # Global parameters [global] encrypt passwords = Yes map to guest = Bad User log file = /usr/local/samba2/log.%m printer admin = root guest ok = Yes printing = cups [printers] comment = All Printers path = /tmp create mask = 0700 printable = Yes browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Driver Download Area path = /usr/local/samba/drivers write list = root The System is an old one with libc-2.1.3 and cups-1.1.20.
