I am feeeling quite stupid, but I am not able to have printers working. I hope someone could help me. I defined a print$ share set in the print$ share write list= root and printer admin=root when I connect from the WINNT client as root I can see in the printer folder on Samba server the printers I have in my printcap file the print$ share, but not the Add Printer Wizard. If I try to view the printer properties for any printer I can see that the "NEW Driver ..." button for installing the new printer driver is not active. so I am logging as root, but I am not root at all. Why? I am running Linux Debian2.2rev2, kernel 2.4.3 this is part of my smb.conf [global] netbios name = romeo printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes invalid users = bin daemon adm sync shutdown halt mail news uucp operator gopher security = user workgroup = raggi-x domain logons = yes server string= log file= /var/log/samba/samba.log.%m log level=3 syslog only = no syslog = 0 socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096 encrypt passwords = yes wins support = yes os level = 34 domain master = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes logon path=\\%L\Profiles logon script = scripts\%u.bat logon drive= E: logon home=\\romeo\utenti\%u name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast dns proxy = no preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes unix password sync = false max log size = 1000 [Profiles] comment = user profiles path=/home1/profile writable = yes browsable = no map hidden=yes map system=yes guest ok=yes [netlogon] comment = the domain logon service path = /export/samba/logon public = no writable = no browsable = no [printers] path=/usr/spool/public browseable = yes printable = yes create mode = 0700 available = yes [print$] browseable = yes read only=yes write list= root printer admin=root path = /usr/local/samba/printers printable = yes Thanks in advance Patrizia

See the example in the HOWTO (http://samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf) Cheers, jerry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- /\ 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 )
I am at this point now: I am connected as root, today it works, yesterday it does not work (maybe rebooting, I do not know). BUT when I open the printer folder and try to assign the New driver to the printer I endend with "It is impossible to obtain the specified driver. The initial settings will be used". So I cannot assign the driver. I checked the directory permission of my /usr/local/samba/printers the directory and the subdirectory is owned by root, and everybody can rwx . this is my smb.conf [global] netbios name = romeo printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes invalid users = bin daemon adm sync shutdown halt mail news uucp operator gopher security = user workgroup = raggi-x domain logons = yes server string= log file= /var/log/samba/samba.log.%m log level=3 syslog only = no syslog = 0 socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096 encrypt passwords = yes wins support = yes os level = 34 domain master = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes logon path=\\%L\Profiles logon script = scripts\%u.bat logon drive= E: logon home=\\romeo\utenti\%u name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast dns proxy = no preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes unix password sync = false # passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u #passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\sn;ew\sU#NIX\spassword;:* %n\n . max log size = 1000 ...
