Im using samba 2.07 from source on a digital unix 4.0e machine. Users are connecting to their unix home directories fine. There are also samba print shares. Im using cups-1.0.5 for the print server but this problem looks like it's part of samba. The authenication is done from a NT server. Ie the global section of smb.conf [global] workgroup = ee-student debuglevel = 3 server string = fs1 - student file server log file = /usr/local/daemon/samba/var/log.%m max log size = 1000 browseable = yes wins server = nts1 security = server password server = nts1 socket options = TCP_NODELAY local master = yes username map = /usr/local/daemon/samba/lib/users.map # Case Preservation can be handy - system default is _no_ # NOTE: These can be set on a per share basis preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes # Default case is normally upper case for all DOS files default case = upper # Be very careful with case sensitivity - it can break things! ; case sensitive = no # printing load printers = yes printcap name = /etc/printcap # printing = cups printing = lprng print command = /usr/local/admin/printing/bin/sambaprintcommand.sh %p %s %f lpq command = /usr/local/bin/lpq -P %p | /usr/local/daemon/samba/bin/cups2lprng-lpqfilter.pl # lprm command = /usr/local/bin/lprm -P %p %j lprm command = /usr/local/admin/printing/bin/sambalprmcommand.sh %p %j NOTE: I tried printing = cups, the printing = lprng and lpq command I have at least work. Now the "print command" is exececuted on the samba server as the user connecting to the print share but the "lprm command" is executing nobody (and therefore failing). I cant understand the problem. The NT server is 4.0 sp6, the clients are all NT workstation 4.0 sp6. It looks like the problem is in samba or NT.
