Hey all,
One of that last pieces to be put in place before my site goes live on Samba4 as
AD is printer support. Now I've seen
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO#Step_13:_Setup_a_Printer_share
and at one point had Group Policy that was deploying a printer on CUPS using AD
authentication/Samba shares. However, we found out that when Windows machines
printed to this printer, it was bypassing CUPS, i.e. jobs weren't in CUPS
logs, and in fact, CUPS could be off and it would still print. Since it appeared
these machines were printing directly to the printer, we are worried about what
happens when a bad/large job is sent and the printer becomes unresponsive --
without the machines going through CUPS we fear we won't be able to
manage/maintain the printer.
So to anyone who has said up printers with Samba4, what method/route did you
elect? Additionally, a pointer to documentation (I haven't found anything
great) would be most appreciated.
Thanks much,
