I am using samba-2.2.7-3.7.2 on a redhat 7.2 server with an attached printer which is run by CUPS. It worked OK until I upgraded to samba-2.2.7-3.7.2. Now I can print locally on the server machine, but not from the windows machines on the LAN. The error message on the windows box is " Unable to create a print job." Another error, produced daily when samba is "re-initialized" during log rotation is "Unable to open printcap file cups for read!" The samba log also shows "printing/pcap.c:pcap_printer_fn(372) There is no file called "cups", so I tried adding world-read permission to some of the likely config files. No joy. Searches of the samba archive and google did not show anything useful. Any help would be appreciated.
When I compiled 2.2.8a cups support was not compiled in even though I specifically specified it and there were no errors. If you type 'ldd /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd' you can see what libraries are linked against it and cups should be there. Make sure you have the cups-devel RPM package installed otherwise cups support wont get built in.> -----Original Message----- > From: samba-bounces+list.samba=webscreen-technology.com@lists.samba.org > [mailto:samba-bounces+list.samba=webscreen-technology.com@lists.samba.or > g]On Behalf Of Gorm Jensen > Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 14:58 > To: samba@lists.samba.org > Subject: [Samba] Print Problem - printcap file cups > > > I am using samba-2.2.7-3.7.2 on a redhat 7.2 server with an attached > printer which is run by CUPS.
