[Samba] Question regarding printers - problem with current rleease
Hi folks; Not sure what's going on here.... Running 3.0.14a here, with a fairly default config. Base OS is FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE. FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #11: Fri Apr 8 09:48:24 CDT 2005 karl@FS.denninger.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KSD-SMP Here's the output from "testparm" Load smb config files from /usr/local/etc/smb.conf Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[printers]" Processing section "[faxserver]" Processing section "[pics]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions # Global parameters [global] workgroup = DENNINGER server string = Home Office FileServer interfaces = 192.168.1.0/24 max log size = 50 deadtime = 15 domain logons = Yes preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes remote announce = 192.168.1.255 invalid users = root hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, 127. printing = bsd print command = lpr -r -P'%p' %s lpq command = lpq -P'%p' lprm command = lprm -P'%p' %j [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /disk/spool/samba printer admin = @wheel printable = Yes browseable = No [faxserver] comment = Fax Server Files path = /disk/system valid users = system, karl read only = No create mask = 0765 [pics] comment = Picture files path = /pics valid users = system, karl read only = No create mask = 0765 Ok, now the problem... Everything works correctly EXCEPT that I cannot see the contents of a print queue. I can browse printers (as I specified that was ok), I can connect to them, <AND I CAN PRINT>. However, the status comes up as "access denied, unable to connect" when I look at it from an XP workstation that is signed on and connected to the printer. I am completely unable to view the print queue. Obviously I can't remove a print job either, since I can't see them. Local viewing of the queue from Unix works (e.g. "lpq -PLaser" does the expected thing, and produces the expected output) Any ideas what I've done wrong? Read the FAQ and install instructions, I can't see anything obviously screwed up - and everything else - including printing itself - works ....
