[Samba] samba printer on FreeBSD not accessible to NT

I have FreeBSD 4.5 and samba working fine, and a hp 952c, attached via 
parallel 
port on the FreeBSD box, working fine, on the FreeBSD box.
My smb.conf is set up to share the hp printer, as follows -
[global] 
workgroup = SIMDOM 
server string = Chip's second PC 
log file = /var/log/log.%m 
max log size = 50 
security = domain 
password server = simrad_1, simrad_2 
encrypt passwords = yes 
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 
path = / 
wins server = 157.237.65.101 
null passwords = yes 
remote announce = 157.237.65.255 
default = Chip's second PC 
dns proxy = no 
protocol = NT1 
netbios name = cwiegand2 
name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast 
load printers = yes 
printcap = /etc/printcap 
guest account = chip 
print command = lpr -r -P%p %s 
printing = bsd
[printers] 
comment = HP 952C 
path = /var/spool/samba 
browseable = no 
guest ok = yes 
writeable = no 
printable = yes 
print ok = yes 
public = yes
Now, I know I don't need all of that stuff, I was just trying everything I 
could to get this to
work. I used apsfilter to set up the printer initially, and it prints fine 
from fbsd apps. When 
I set up NT to print to it I get Access Denied, Unable to Connect when I 
click on the print
device icon. Do I need to change the permissions somewhere, on the fbsd 
box? (I am 
able to map a drive from the nt box to the fbsd box and copy and write 
files to the bsd box
from the nt box.)

[Samba] samba printer on FreeBSD not accessible to NT

I had a similar problem on win2k, the fix was to install sp2.
Also make sure the spool directory has the correct permissions for your users.

Cheers

sp2? If you are referring to the NT servic packs, all our NT boxes are at 
sp6a. 
I have set up the /var/spool/lpd/ directories as follows -
-rwxr-xr-x bin daemon
I am using the instructions in the book by Ted Mittelstaedt. I've used 
apsfilter 
to create several printers - hq (high quality photo), lp (low quality 
photo), text, raw. The raw is, according to the book, for use by Windoze 
to print
to. So, in Windoze NT I create the printer device by doing this:
Add Printer/My Computer/Add Port/LPR Port/New Port/Name of server 
providing LPD -
cwiegand2/Name of printer of print queue on that server - 
raw/OK/Close/Next/then
I pick the driver from the cd/print test page
This is where I see in the windoze printer window the job and job status 
shows
spooling (for a second or two) then printing - printer error.
I have tried to use all the printer queues that are set up on the bsd box, 
not sure
it I am entering it correctly on the NT box - for the option 'Name of 
printer or
print queue on that server' I have entered only the name - raw (also tried 
lp, etc). 
I have also tried using the path to the queue - /var/spool/lpd/raw, and I 
get the 
same results.
Notice I don't get access denied errors, the spooling appears to start 
then fails.
I also reinstalled sp6a 'just in case', but it still responds with the 
same error.
My printcap looks like this -
# APS1_BEGIN:printer1
# - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1
# - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL

[Samba] samba printer on FreeBSD not accessible to NT

By using LPR on the client machines you are bypassing samba. Therefor this
question does not belong on the samba list. If you wish to use samba for windows
printing then I suggest you change the permissions on the spool directory as
when users print the file is owned by them. Hence the spool dir should have
write access for all users.

Cheers

I don't understand what you mean. How do I send a print job from NT to the
fbsd samba-shared printer without LPR? I've set up a samba shared printer 
on a freebsd box at home and the windoze 98 boxes can print to it with no 
problems. I don't understand why my NT boxes here at work won't print to
a samba shared printer. The samba.org web site doesn't have any help info 
about printer setup. I've got two samba books and 2 freebsd books, and 
still
have trouble getting nt to print to that printer. I'm getting a bit 
frustrated
by this. I've got 8 nt servers I'd like to have print to this printer.
Is there some online help on this subject? I'm sure I'm missing
something
basic
somewhere, but don't know where.
Thanks for the help,
Chip

[Samba] samba printer on FreeBSD not accessible to NT

Ok, this is how I do it at work. I have a Xerox 8812 Laser printer connected to
my FreeBSD-4.4 box on lpt0.

The /etc/printcap file entry for this printer is:

PostScript|Xerox:\
	:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/xerox:\
	:mx#0:\
	:sh:

The permissions on the spool directory (/var/spool/lpd/xerox) are:

drwxrwxrwx daemon daemon

In the smb.conf file:

#======================= Global Settings
====================================[global]

   workgroup = LONGHILL
   server string = Photocopier/IT Suite Print Server
   name resolve order = host bcast
   load printers = no
   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   printing = bsd
   log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
   log level = 3
   max log size = 50
   security = server
   password server = MC095
   interfaces = 10.108.1.6/255.255.224.0
   os level = 33
   deadtime = 5
   encrypt passwords = yes
#============================ Share Definitions =============================
[Xerox]
   comment = IT Xerox 8812
   path = /var/spool/lpd/xerox
   ;browseable = no
   printable = yes
   print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -h -P PostScript %s

Start samba.


On your windoz box you should be able to see your samba machine under network
neighbourhood. You should also be able to see your printer if you double click
on the samba machine.

To add your printer to your client:

Goto control panel -> printers -> add printer -> Click on network
printer. It should ask you for the printer name or I think you can click browse
or next and it will give you a listing of your network. Find your samba machine
and click on the printer you want. It will then ask you to select the printer
from a list so that it can install a printer driver.

Thats it, happy printing.

I don't understand what you mean. How do I send a print job from NT to the
fbsd samba-shared printer without LPR? I've set up a samba shared printer 
on a freebsd box at home and the windoze 98 boxes can print to it with no 
problems. I don't understand why my NT boxes here at work won't print to
a samba shared printer. The samba.org web site doesn't have any help info 
about printer setup. I've got two samba books and 2 freebsd books, and 
still
have trouble getting nt to print to that printer. I'm getting a bit 
frustrated
by this. I've got 8 nt servers I'd like to have print to this printer.
Is there some online help on this subject? I'm sure I'm missing
something
basic
somewhere, but don't know where.
Thanks for the help,
Chip
