Hi,
following situation:
1) You create a raw printer (called "testprinter") under cups and
leave the description-field (info-field) empty. cups will create an
entry in /etc/printcap of the form
testprinter|testprinter:rm=linux100:rp=testprinter:
2) You start samba with a standard [printers] and [print$] share.
samba will expose the printqueue to the clients.
3) You upload a windows printer driver via the Printer Wizard.
This succeeds; the driver is uploaded.
4) You try to install on an Windows-Workstation the printer and get
the message, that there is no driver available.
The reason is, that in ntdrivers.tdb the entry for the driver
corresponding to the printqueue is missing.
If you give the printqueue a description in the /etc/printcap (or
under cups), no matter what kind of, all works fine.
This seems to me, as if there is an unsufficient parsing of the
/etc/printcap, because all information needed is in, even when
queuename and description are equal (like in 1))
System: SuSE 9.1 (2.6.5-7.95-default) Samba (3.0.2a-51)
cups (1.1.20-103)
Does anyone has the same problem?!
Greetings Hermann
