samba - May 2002 - I will pay you $10US (via Paypal) out of my own pocke t if you can solve this CUPS & Samba problem.

Nope, doesn't work, and I need the drivers to be available and read from the
linux server. The PPD files do contain one which is specific to my printer
and has worked on another machine.

that looks ok, simply click ok and load the printer driver from whichever
os version you are using. ie go get the latest drivers for the printer you
want to use
and the os you have on the workstation. simpy those printer drivers and it
should work.

Seriously. I can't afford to be down much longer or I'm going to be in
serious trouble.
 
Running Redhat 7.2.
 
Here's the scoop:
Cups is installed and running.
Samba is installed and running and is sharing files properly to 100+ people.
I can print a test page from the Cups web-interface.
I can print a test page by "cat foo | lpr" or "cat foo |
lpr.cups" no
problem.
Swat sees the printer that exists in /etc/printcap.
A print$ share has been created:
    [print$]
        path = /usr/share/cups/model/
        guest ok = Yes
/usr/share/cups/model/ contains a bunch of PPD printer drivers inside a
directory called foomatic, created by a cups-drivers rpm. I have also tried
having the drivers I need directly in the /usr/share/cups/model directory
with no success.
 
...when I am on a windows box and try to install the printer that is listed
(via the Printers control panel or by browsing to the Printers share via
Network Neighbourhood), I get a "The server on which the printer resides
does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to install
the driver on your local computer, click OK". 
 
I really need to get this up and running. Please help.

[root@waifer root]# cupsaddsmb -a
Warning: No PPD file for printer "PSYSTEMS"!

What I'm guessing at this point is that Cups is having a hell of a time
reaching the PPD files. There definitely is one for my printer (HP 5000) on
the system.

Thanks, but no cigar :)

Unfortunately I really do need the drivers to come from Samba (ie the print$
share)...I've got hundreds of machines that I'd have to do this on.

Ok, tried that...no success. I can follow through the steps of adding the
driver for the printer on my machine, then I can use it. However once I
delete the printer and try to add it again I have to go through the same
steps. The drivers are not copied up to the server, they are just installed
on my local machine.

Greg,

I had a heck of a time getting Samba and CUPS up and running together, but
here are a couple of pointers.

If you are serving Windows clients, and a Windows driver is available for
your printer (not hard to imagine), you are probably best off setting up a
RAW print queue in CUPS, and installing the printer drivers on your Samba
server using the Add/Remove Printers Wizard.  

The documentation for setting that up is, in my opinion, a little vague, but
it certainly can be done.  The most simple way to setup it up (in my mind)
is as follows:
1) Make sure you have a 'printer admin = ???' directive in your
smb.conf,
where '???' is a comma-separated list of Unix users and/or groups who
will
be able to manage printer settings.  Group designations in smb.conf need an
'@' prefix (like '@group').
2) For testing, I would set 'read only = no' on the [print$] share, and
when
it's working, you could either set 'read only = yes' and 'write
list = ???'
where ??? is another comma separated list of Unix users and/or groups, these
being the users who will be able to upload drivers to the server.
Alternately, you could just leave 'read only = no', just make sure you
understand the implications.
3) Make sure the file system permissions will allow you to create files and
directories under the path of your [print$] share.  I would put it elsewhere
than /usr/share/cups/model, because these aren't going to hold CUPS drivers,
but Windows binary drivers.  Then, create directories under that path for
each Windows version you want to support.  These are 'W32X86' for WinNT
&
Win2K clients, 'WIN40' for Win9x, and I can't remember the others.
4) If samba is picking up your printers from your printcap, you can skip
this, but otherwise you'll have to set up a share for each printer you want
to share.
5) Browse, from a Windows PC, to the Red Hat server in explorer.
Double-click 'Printers'.  Depending on your windows version, the
following
may be different.  I'm using Win2K, and this is how it goes:
Right click in the white space of the window, and select 'Server
properties'
from the context menu.  Select the 'Drivers' tab.  Click
'Add...' then go
through the wizard.  If 'Add...' is unselectable (greyed-out), then the
server is not seeing you as a member of the 'printer admins' list that
you
set up in step 1, so start your troubleshooting there.
6) Once you've got the drivers uploaded onto the server, you need to
associate them with a given printer, which you do by right-clicking the
appropriate printer and selecting 'Properties', then clicking on the
'Advanced' tab (I think this step is slightly different under NT).  In
the
drop-down box marked 'Driver:', select the appropriate driver (probably
the
one you just uploaded).
7) Now, on the client machines, install the printer normally, and the
drivers should automatically download with the connection.  

Let me know if that helps at all.

Greg,

If those instructions really helped you get Samba & CUPS up and running
together, I don't want the $10US.  I nearly pulled my hair out trying to
figure it out, and just knowing that somebody else didn't have to go quite
as crazy trying is enough reward. :)

So send it to the Samba Team.

Cheers,
 
Manuel Gomez
