[Samba] access denied on printing from win2k?

Hi,

I'm running samba 2.2.1a (RPM install) on RedHat 7.2
I've connected a Canon LBP-8 IV laserprinter to the network via a HP
Jetdirect box.
I've configured the printer within linux and printing goes fine.

Now I'm trying to access the printer via samba from my win2k clients. Now,
the problem is: When I'm trying to print to the printer (e.g. a testpage) I
get the message "Test page failed to print. <SNIP> Unable to create a
print
job."
Also, it takes a while before the printer gets initialized.

I guess this snippet from the log has something to do with it:

"
[2002/02/22 15:06:15, 0] printing/printing.c:print_job_start(926)
  print_job_start: insufficient permissions to open spool file
/var/spool/lpd/printer01/smbprn.s9gmRw.
"

This is (part of) my smb.conf

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = no
   printable = yes
   public = yes
   writable = no
   create mode = 0700
   guest ok = yes
[printer01]
   path = /var/spool/lpd/printer01
   printer name = printer01
   writable = yes
   public = yes
   printable = yes
   guest ok = yes


I guess I need to set the correct permissions, but I don't know how (and to
what?).
Can anybody help?

Best Regard,

Remco

We've also had this problem in samba 2.2.1 and 2.2.2.

Most of the time, print jobs run okay, however, some of the time, the
job spools as the 'nobody' user (perms 0600) but the print command is
run as the correct (authenticated) user. Since that user can't read
the spool file, printing fails.

I believe that the opposite happens too - the job spools as the
correct user, but the print command is run as the 'nobody' user. Again
this causes a permissions error.

The users never reported any similar problems while we were running
samba 2.0.

Our setup is:

  Samba on Red Hat Linux 6.2 as PDC. 
  Printer drivers installed locally on the NT4 workstations.
  All NT4 workstations are members of the domain.
  All users have an account on the samba server.

Here are the relevant sections from the smb.conf:

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	browseable = no
	printable = yes
	create mask = 0700

[pprproto]
   comment = PPR prototype print share
   print command = /usr/ppr/bin/ppr -d %p -e responder -w log -m samba -r %m-%I
--responder-options os=%a -X %m@samba -f %U -U %s &
   lpq command = /usr/ppr/bin/ppop lpq %p
   lprm command = /usr/ppr/bin/ppop -X %m@samba cancel %p-%j
   lppause command = /usr/ppr/bin/ppop -X %m@samba hold %p-%j
   lpresume command = /usr/ppr/bin/ppop -X %m@samba release %p-%j

   queuepause command = /usr/ppr/bin/ppop stop %p
   queueresume command = /usr/ppr/bin/ppop start %p

   ; The line below must go in [global] if Samba older than 1.9.18.
   printing = bsd

   browseable = no
   printer = null
   printable = yes
   writable = no
   create mode = 0700
   path = /var/spool/ppr/sambaspool
   printer driver location = \\%h\pprwin95

[hplj4]
  comment = 
  printer = hplj4
  printer driver = HP LaserJet 4P/4MP PS 600 dpi
  copy = pprproto
  browseable = yes

[Samba] access denied on printing from win2k?

Hi,

I had the same problem: 2.2.1a (RPM install) on RedHat
7.2. Using Win2k clients. I solved it adding in global
section:

printer admin = @users

bye.

[Samba] access denied on printing from win2k?

On our dedicated samba print server I just put on 2.0.9 as I found that
works fine. I had a few problems with 2.2.2 and I didn't have time to
play.

Cheers
