Hello,
I have a problem with samba-3xx (All beta and rc versions) concerning
the visibility in the "Add Printer Wizard" on windows clients.
Printing works fine but that's not the problem, the problem is the
visibilty of the printers defined in smb.conf in the "Add Printer
Wizard".
Steps:
Start -> Settings -> Printers ->
"Double Click Add Printer"
Screen appears "Welcome to the Add Printer Wizard"
Click Next ->
Screen "Local or Network Printer"
Comment "Network Printer"
Click Next ->
Screen "Locate Your Printer"
Comment "Type the Printer Name or click Next to locate the Printer"
Click Next ->
Screen "Browse for Printer"
In the browse screen appear : "Microsoft Windows Network"
and "UNETIX"
No machines appear that would be sharing printers,
though the samba server is set to have a network printer
shared.
When I fill in in the screen "Local or Network Printer"
in the field "Name" the service and the printername
(like "\\fileserver\lp" ) and then click next , the printer
is added and fully usable, but one way or another
if I use the browse network to locate the printer , it doesn't
show up, this worked under 2.2 versions flawlessly.
smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = unetix
netbios name = fileserver
server string = Filemaker Server
encrypt passwords = Yes
update encrypted = Yes
passdb backend = smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192
SO_RCVBUF=8192
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -c Machine -d
/dev/null -s /bin/false %m$
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -g users -m -s /bin/false %U
logon script = logon.bat
logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U
logon drive = H
logon home = \\%L\%U\.profile
domain logons = yes
os level = 64
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
local master = Yes
wins support = yes
admin users = @wheel
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
disable spoolss = Yes
use client driver = Yes
print command = lpr -r -P %p %s
[printers]
comment = all printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
guest ok = Yes
public = Yes
writable = No
printer admin = @wheel
How can I make the printers visible in the
"Add Printer Wizard".
The printers are perfectly visible in the
"My Network Places" screens, so what's the difference?
TIA
