Hello everyone
I hope this is not off topic.
The samba + cups thing is driving me nuts.
Samba runs as PDC and print server.
Everything is fine, printing works, automatic driver download works etc.
Now I want only certain people to be able to stop a printer under windows.
After digging around a bit I set my cupsd.conf file up like so:
<Policy default>
<Limit Send-Document Resume-Printer Send-URI Hold-Job Release-Job
Restart-Job Purge-Jobs Set-Job-Attributes Create-Job-Subscription
Renew-Subscription Cancel-Subscription Get-Notifications Reprocess-Job
Cancel-Current-Job Suspend-Current-Job Resume-Job CUPS-Move-Job>
Allow from @LOCAL
Order deny,allow
</Limit>
<Limit Pause-Printer Resume-Printer Set-Printer-Attributes
Enable-Printer Disable-Printer Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job
Hold-New-Jobs Release-Held-New-Jobs Deactivate-Printer Activate-Printer
Restart-Printer Shutdown-Printer Startup-Printer Promote-Job
Schedule-Job-After CUPS-Add-Printer CUPS-Delete-Printer CUPS-Add-Class
CUPS-Delete-Class CUPS-Accept-Jobs CUPS-Reject-Jobs CUPS-Set-Default>
AuthType BasicDigest
Require user @Admin-Group
Order deny,allow
</Limit>
<Limit CUPS-Authenticate-Job>
Require user @OWNER @SYSTEM
Require user @Admin-Group
Satisfy any
Order deny,allow
</Limit>
This has no effect at all. The strange thing is that cups logs the
following when I pause and unpause a printer under Windows.
E [11/Mar/2008:13:29:43 +0100] Pause-Printer: Unauthorized
I [11/Mar/2008:13:29:43 +0100] Saving printers.conf...
I [11/Mar/2008:13:29:43 +0100] Printer "IT-Laser1" stopped by
"root".
I [11/Mar/2008:13:29:47 +0100] Saving printers.conf...
I [11/Mar/2008:13:29:47 +0100] Printer "IT-Laser1" started by
"rob".
Why is the thing being stopped by root and started by me (rob)??
Do the settings in cupsd.conf make any sense at all in combination with
samba because samba runs as root and whatever a user does is seen by
cups as being done by root??????
Maybe I'm on the wrong track altogether.
Help is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Rob
