I have upgraded my Fedora Core 1 file server from the distribution
supplied 3.0.0 RPMS to the Fedora/Samba 3.0.2 RPMS I found on the Samba
Web Site.
After doing this, printers are not be recognized or shared.
When I restarted the server this message showed up in
/var/log/samba/log.smbd:
[2004/02/09 18:00:04, 0] printing/pcap.c:pcap_printer_fn(361)
Unable to open printcap file cups for read!
My /etc/samba/smb.conf file has this in the [global] section:
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
And it has this for a [printers] section:
[printers]
path = /var/spool/samba
guest ok = yes
printable = yes
use client driver = yes
My /etc/printcap file is mode 644 and contains:
# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file
# will be lost.

This was all working before the upgrade.
Ideas?

I goofed the RPMS. my build machine didn't have the cups-devel packag on it. You can rebuild the SRPM or wait until I get new ones uploaded later today. cheers, jerry - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard ------------------------- http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team ---------------------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ---- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "If we're adding to the noise, turn off this song" --Switchfoot (2003) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD4DBQFAKQlDIR7qMdg1EfYRAvqnAKDi8nLKFtoMw+x+D8ZAZZqLfWD5IQCYvrp3 k+7T+08FkxWZQ9tQt/Auxw==TVFr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Hello Bryan. I used the same RPMs, and had the same error initially. If you change your printcap name = /etc/printcap I think you will find that error go away.
