[Samba] Samba 2.8 and problems printing
Hi. Thank you for reading my first message :) I installed SAMBA 2.8 yesterday in a computer running FreeBSD 4.7, with LPRng. Before installed that, I was using SAMBA 2.0.3 and all worked fine. But after the install (note that I?ve build the binaries from sources, not ported), SAMBA won?t share my printers. My network is comprised of one server running FreeBSD and 10 clients running NT 4. I can still print from the server, running lpr -Phplaser <file>, so LPRng is working fine. The printcap file is located in /etc/printcap and my smb.conf is located in the same directory. When building the binaries, I didn?t modify the Makefile, so I don?t know if the smb.conf should be somewhere else (don?t believe so, because everything is working, auth, etc..). At the moment I?m writing this e-mail, I?m away from the server, so I can?t try somethings I?ve figured out. 1) I don?t have a "printcap name = /etc/printcap" in my smb.conf, nor "load printers = yes". Don?t know if this can solve my problem. I?ve tried CUPS, but I installed in /usr/local/cups, using the --prefix=... when ./configuring it. Looking in the smbd.log I read the error message saying that access to the CUPS server was denied.. :P Well, I accept any suggestions. Gotta make it work fast, hehe. Thank you all! Daniel
