Hi.
I've configured a Samba PDC controller on which I've configured a couple
of printers using Cups.
I've set up the relevant config according to the documentation, so:
load printers = Yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /dati/samba/drivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
write list = root,administrator,"@Domain Admins"
directory mask = 0775
create mask = 0775
directory mask = 0775
create mask = 0775
force create mode = 0775
force directory mode = 6775
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = Yes
public = Yes
guest ok = Yes
writable = No
printable = Yes
write list = root,administrator,"@Domain Admins"
The problem is that if I browse \\server I get the list of shares, including the
two cups printers. If I go into the printer subfolder I see two printers with no
name, so when I try to edit properties to upload drivers it complains printer
has no name.
Same happens if I go back to server shares' "root" and I try to
add the printer, I get asked for the drivers, provide them, then when finishes
copyin it complains the printer has no name or it's not on the server
anymore.
What could be the problem?
thanks

Be sure samba is starting after CUPS. Try restarting samba and see if printers are accessible after you restart it. sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart or sudo service smbd restart sudo service nmbd restart Sincerely, Carlos R.
