Hello everybody, I have run into a problem which I am not able to resolve by myself :-( Yesterday I have added a new printer (cups) to a Samba 3.0.28a server. The new printer showed up in the network neighborhood (Windows XP) and I was able to print to the new print queue. Then I tried to publish the new printer to the AD ( we use a windows 2000 server for user administration and GPOs) with the following command: net ads printer publish novapr07 -UXXXX the command does not return any errors, so I thought that it was successful, but unfortunately the new printer did not show up in the ADS. In the samba logs there is no sign of an errors :-( I then performed the same command again but with debugging enabled (-d 3). It returened following output: <--snip [2008/06/23 10:12:40, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_load(5055) lp_load: refreshing parameters [2008/06/23 10:12:40, 3] param/loadparm.c:init_globals(1440) Initialising
