Hello, I have a pb in using samba with cups. I put "printing=cups" in my smb.conf file but I cannot connect the printers from Windows NT 4.0. Could you send me a smb.conf file using cups as an example ? Thank you
Check out if you have printing support for cups compiled in in samba. My Debian distro installs samba 2.0.7 without cups support! I had to compile my own version. You need at least this: printing = cups printcap name = cups To last options is not documented but you need it! Othwise the printers does not shop up! (At least at my location) I use cups version 1.1.2 which is working for mu (latest version is 1.1.3) Ries
I forgot to tell you this. When you compile Samba make sure you have cups running while creating your configuration file (./configure). Within this process it checks if you have cups running. Otherwise samba will be compiled without cups support. Ries

(or did I already post this???) Ok, this is the issue. You need to run cups for samba to configure correctly. If you don't run cups at configure time, samba is not configurated for cups support! You need to check if cups support is there. Raise the debug level to 8 orso and check if your printcap is properly handled. I did see a message when samba was not compiled correctly like 'could not find printcapname cups'. That's basically it. You don't need a /etc/printcap or anything else. samba whil contact cups to see what printers are available. So you don't need to configure anything else then these two options. Ries
Hi,
I've just installed samba 2.0.7 and cups 1.1.5 from the suse distrib. I
also installed the new HP drivers for the DJ printers. Cups prints fine
in my linux box.
I also configured samba. The disks shares work ok. I'm having problems
with the printer shares.
Here are my global and printer configurations:
[global]
workgroup = workgroup
guest account = nobody
keep alive = 30
os level = 2
kernel oplocks = false
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
interfaces = 192.168.0.2/16
wins support = no
map to guest = Bad User
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
printable = yes
public = no
read only = yes
create mode = 0700
directory = /tmp
With the above, the printer shares don't show in my win98 box. If I
replace 'printcap name = cups' with 'printcap name =
/etc/printcap', the
printer queues show up in the win98 machine, but when I try to configure
them I get a warning saying that the printer is offline.
I browsed the mailing list archive, and the suggested solution was to
use 'cups' in 'printing' and 'printcap name', but that
does not solve my
problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Sirs, I have a Linunx Mandrake 8.0 box with Samba and CUPS installed. It seems that the SMB/NMB service starts before the CUPS service, so my printers are not served inmediatelly. I must manually stop and start the Samba service in order for it to "see" the printers CUPS is making available. Why is this behavior? How can I correct it? Many thanks, Erick Perez eperez@consultant.com

What is the best setup in the [global] settings for cups printing. I know this a really general question but I wanted to start wide and then drill down. One side question is how to get the spool to display correctly from a windows client. Thanks, David R. Fischer
I have Samba version 2.2.7a and CUPS version 1.1.15. I have been unable to successfully use the 'cupsaddsmb' utility. Any time I execute this utility, I get the following error: Warning - No PPD file found for 'printer_name'! The printer is question has been configured in CUPS and it is visible when browsing from a Windows client. Where is it looking for these PPD files? Is it /etc/cups/ppd? Could it be that it does not recognize the PPD files for some reason? Also, could someone further develop Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

Hi, James!

So -- *is* there a PPD associated to the printer-in-question? It
should be in "/etc/cups/ppd/printer-in-question.ppd...

Yes.
But then, in a second step, cupsaddsmb is retrieving a copy of
it (using an IPP call) from there and temporarily storing it in
the CUPS spool directory, sub directory "tmp" under a weird
name:
/var/spool/cups/tmp/3cd1cc66376c0
Do you have a "tmp" in "/var/spool/cups/" (or whatever is
dafined to be the CUPS spool dir -- see the "TempDir" directive
in cupsd.conf) ? What are the access rights?
- I do have a TempDir of "/var/spool/cups/tmp". It's access rights
are:
-
- [root@xxxxx tmp]# pwd
- /var/spool/cups/tmp
- [root@xxxxx tmp]# ls -al
- total 348
- drwx-----T 2 lp sys 4096 Feb 17 18:14 .
- drwx------ 3 lp sys 4096 Feb 14 09:33 ..
-
-The directory "/etc/cups/ppd" contains the following:
-
- drwxr-xr-x 2 lp sys 4096 Feb 14 09:33 .
- drwxr-xr-x 5 lp sys 4096 Feb 14 09:33 ..
- -rw-r--r-- 1 lp sys 36606 Feb 14 09:33 ccsys4100.ppd
- -rw-r--r-- 1 lp sys 36606 Feb 14 09:23 HP4100.ppd
- -rw-r--r-- 1 lp sys 44495 Feb 6 11:10 libsys8500.ppd
If cupsaddsmb can't store the PPD in the "TempDir", it could
lead to the error message you are seeing...
After the PPD is in cupsd's "TempDir", cupsaddsmb makes a
smbclient connection to the Samba server's [print$] share to
"put" it there (alongside the rest of the needed PostScript
driver files).
Cheers,
Kurt

But I don't *think* it is the problem here, since the error message he gets back is: "Warning - No PPD file found for 'printer_name'!". From this I think he had been already successfully authenticated as whatever user he wanted to run the command as..

What was the exact "cupsaddsmb" you were using? From the "Warning" message quoted I would guess you used "cupsaddsmb -v printer_name" or "cupsaddsmb -v -a" - I have used both of these commands. I still get the same error. Either you don't have a printer with the name 'printer_name' at all, or this printer (named via the "-a" for "all" paramenter) is a "raw" printer and thusly doesn't have a PPD associated with it. - This printer was configured in CUPS with a foomatic postscript driver. (HP 4100 foomatic + postscript) OK -- this means that your printer 'printer_name' is a "raw" printer (if it exists at all). What result do you get with "cupsaddsmb -v ccsys4100" ??? I get the same error when I try this. "Warning: No PPD file for printer "ccsys4100"!" . Regards, James Nallen, Systems Progrmmer, NUI Maynooth, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland.
Yes I see that, the CUPS printcap has just the printer sharename in it. Now CUPS does work as far as printing test sheets from the Web Interface, the issue seems to be why samba doesn't recognize it and let me add the printer to the clients. There is always a possibility that Im missing something. In the Win9X clients, when I try to add a printer, it says the share isn't there. Now I don't have a model printer share ([Epson] ect.) in the smb.conf, but from all Vie read, I shouldn't need one, CUPS should take care of all that.

To: samba@lists.samba.org Message-ID: <1053646721.1926.4.camel@Slinky.168sh> Content-Type: text/plain I understand that CUPS sets up a dummy printcap for the use of applications like samba, and it is best left alone. If printcap was changed, then maybe samba can't understand it. Indeed the fact that printing worked for a bit then stopped could even have been due to the delay between the changes being made and samba refreshing its configuration (which is quite short I think).

Re-start smbd or send all smbd processes a HUP and see if this works then.
Cups must be started before smbd or vise versa.

Hi all. I had problem of addition of the printer on a Windows the computer through Samba from CUPS. Problem in that at addition of the printer in CUPS the printer occurs in SAMBA but when I install the printer in WINDOWS and try to print out test page (or something else) that jumps out the message. Completion of the operation or Error of creation of printing is impossible Excuse for my English elje
