Print Driver Support under Samba 2.20
I'm having problems getting print drivers to install under Samba 2.2 under Solaris 7 SPARC I'm not yet trying to use addprinter or deleteprinter - simply to install print drivers which can be downloaded to Win2K/WinNT/Win9x clients. I'm using the HP Point and Print bundles to support HP LaserJet 4000 series printers and I've tried both PCL6 and Postscript without success. I execute the Add Printer Wizard from Windows 2000 Professional and it seems to execute properly. I see the files being copied, but when it returns showing the process as finished, there are still no drivers registered for the printer. I've captured level 10 debug info which I can send along as needed. The share definitions section of smb.conf is as follows [printers] path = /var/spool/lp/tmp/samba printable = yes browseable = no admin users = armstron printer admin = armstron ; [print$] path = /var/spool/lp/drivers writeable = yes browseable = yes admin users = armstron printer admin = armstron ; I've created the print$ directory structure .: total 18 drwxrwsrwx 7 root ntadmin 512 Apr 26 08:21 ./ drwxrwxrwt 13 root root 2560 Apr 26 08:39 ../ drwxrwsr-x 2 root ntadmin 512 Apr 25 07:55 W32ALPHA/ drwxrwsr-x 2 root ntadmin 512 Apr 25 07:55 W32MIPS/ drwxrwsr-x 2 root ntadmin 512 Apr 25 07:55 W32PPC/ drwxrwsr-x 2 root ntadmin 512 Apr 26 08:22 W32X86/ drwxrwsr-x 2 root ntadmin 512 Apr 25 05:58 WIN40/ ./W32ALPHA: total 4 drwxrwsr-x 2 root ntadmin 512 Apr 25 07:55 ./ drwxrwsrwx 7 root ntadmin 512 Apr 26 08:21 ../ ./W32MIPS: total 4 drwxrwsr-x 2 root ntadmin 512 Apr 25 07:55 ./ drwxrwsrwx 7 root ntadmin 512 Apr 26 08:21 ../ ./W32PPC: total 4 drwxrwsr-x 2 root ntadmin 512 Apr 25 07:55 ./ drwxrwsrwx 7 root ntadmin 512 Apr 26 08:21 ../ ./W32X86: total 4 drwxrwsr-x 2 root ntadmin 512 Apr 26 08:22 ./ drwxrwsrwx 7 root ntadmin 512 Apr 26 08:21 ../ ./WIN40: total 4 drwxrwsr-x 2 root ntadmin 512 Apr 25 05:58 ./ drwxrwsrwx 7 root ntadmin 512 Apr 26 08:21 ../ I've tried everything from default settings based upon the updated documentation on the Samba Web Site to modifying permissions of /var/locks and existing files there to be certain that the "printer admin" can write to them but I've been unsuccessful at every attempt. Any suggestions?

Or is this what you are referring to?> [print$] > path = /var/spool/lp/drivers > writeable = yes > browseable = yes > admin users = armstron > printer admin = armstronHmmm....seems people are taking me too literally. :-) I'll clarify. The [print$] share is a normal file share. Only the name is special. Have you mapped the username 'armstron' to 'ntadmin'. If not then, the permissions outlined below mean that you must connect as root. The 'ntadmin' account is not listed as a printer admin and armstron does not have rights to copy new drives onto [print$].> I've created the print$ directory structure > > .: > total 18 > drwxrwsrwx 7 root ntadmin 512 Apr 26 08:21 ./ > drwxrwxrwt 13 root root 2560 Apr 26 08:39 ../ > drwxrwsr-x 2 root ntadmin 512 Apr 25 07:55 W32ALPHA/ > drwxrwsr-x 2 root ntadmin 512 Apr 25 07:55 W32MIPS/ > drwxrwsr-x 2 root ntadmin 512 Apr 25 07:55 W32PPC/ > drwxrwsr-x 2 root ntadmin 512 Apr 26 08:22 W32X86/ > drwxrwsr-x 2 root ntadmin 512 Apr 25 05:58 WIN40/---------------------------------------------------------------------- /\ Gerald (Jerry) Carter Professional Services \/ http://www.valinux.com/ VA Linux Systems gcarter@valinux.com http://www.samba.org/ SAMBA Team jerry@samba.org http://www.plainjoe.org/ jerry@plainjoe.org "...a hundred billion castaways looking for a home." - Sting "Message in a Bottle" ( 1979 )
