[Samba] Samba 3.6.9: spoolss_connect_to_client: unable to open the spoolss pipe on machine WINDOWS-SERVER-2.WINDOWS. Error was : NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.
Trying to get a printer server running Samba 3.6.9 (On CentOS 6.5) going. Trying to add said printers to a Windows Server 2012 machine prior to deploying to a network of Windows 8.1 laptops. Definitely making progress; finally figured out the initial permissions issue I was having (combination of a winbind separator and using the wrong group prefix and syntax for user lists in an AD context), but now I'm hitting an issue for which there doesn't seem to be any documentation anywhere. When I go to print a test page from the Windows Server 2012 box, I see in my logs: /var/log/samba/log.10.161.1.32:[2014/02/11 23:59:41.351402, 2] rpc_server/spoolss/srv_spoolss_nt.c:2517(spoolss_connect_to_client) /var/log/samba/log.10.161.1.32: spoolss_connect_to_client: unable to open the spoolss pipe on machine WINDOWS-SERVER-2.WINDOWS. Error was : NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. If I read this correctly, the Windows Server machine is being granted permission by the Samba server to print...but the samba server is being denied access to turn around and talk to the Windows Server machine's spoolss pipe. I hope I haven't stumbled across an incompatibility between Windows Server 2012 (and Win8!) and Samba 3.6.9...if that's the case, I may have to scrap this project entirely! Upgrading to Samba 4 *might* be a possibility, but I've got deadlines coming up that suggest I should scrap this instead if it's going to take another full day. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
