Hi, I just upgraded from cups-1.3.8/samba-3.4.1 to cups-1.4.1/samba-3.4.3 After upgrading, the samba log showed that it could not find the printcap file - previously cups was not generating a printcap file, but things worked fine. I changed cupsd.conf to produce a printcap file, but the samba log shows it cannot find it, even though I placed it in /etc, /etc/cups, /usr/local/etc, /usr/local/etc/cups. Where does samba look by default? If I cha...

...a fresh install of the responsible server will probably fix. However there are some disparities between the documentation and our practical experience for which a clear statement would help others. The docs state when using CUPS the relevent lines of SMB.CONF should look like this: printing=cups printcap=cups And that any manual printing command are ignored. However, if we set printcap = cups nothing happens and we cannot see any printers. What we do have is the following: printer admin = @DomainAdmins,root load printers = yes printing = cups printcap= /etc/printcap print command = lpr.cups -r...

...tem and for some special printers i want to use my own scripts. samba-3.0.0 is linked against libcups and printing via cups and the driver download works perfect. whe i try to specify a special printer with "printing = bsd/lprng/sysv" my own "print command" and a special "printcap" inside the service description, samba is always trying to print via cups and testparm shows the following warning: - -- Processing section "[special-printer]" Global parameter printcap name found in service section! - -- here are the minimum settings from smb.conf: - -- [global] l...

Samba server does not list/return share type of Printer. It only does Disk and IPC$. In /etc/samba/smb.conf, [global] section has load printers = yes cups options = raw printcap name = /etc/printcap #obtain list of printers automatically on SystemV ; printcap name = lpstat printing = cups There is this section.

Hi, I´m allways using the recent versions from cvs (prebuild from dailywine) and I stated that I have to reconfigure my wine printing. Before I used the wineps.drv driver but now wine seams to work with the printers defined in /etc/printcap. But there are some little questions left by me although I got it printing well: 1. How can I make another printer as default printer different from the first one from /etc/printcap. I tried to edit win.ini but everytime wine is started the first printcap entry is installed as default printer....

Baxter, I could be wrong, but I thought /etc/printcap was the config for bsd style printing - not cups.

Discovered something that cost me an hour or two trying to solve. In http://localhost:901/swat/help/smb.conf.5.html#PRINTCAPNAME it says: ----- To use the CUPS printing interface set printcap name = cups . This should be supplemented by an addtional setting printing = cups in the [global] section. printcap name = cups will use the "dummy" printcap created by CUPS, as specified in your CUPS configuration file....

...ere is where I hit my problem. When I have the following line from the conf file set as you see it, I see all the print queues without a problem from an XP machine: # if you want to automatically load your printer list rather # than setting them up individually then you'll need this printcap name = cups load printers = yes Now since there are 40 printers set up in CUPS, and I only want 10 or so to be viewed by this interface/subnet, I have created a new file as a bogus printcap with only queue names listed. Now this works for all printers with queue names shorter than 11 or...

...ly from Netscape, color and graphics and all. The printer is an HP 560c. Now, I want to be able to print from my Windoze95 machine, and have samba setup for that, as well as file sharing. If I setup my Windoze machine such that my printer is \\thelab\deskjet, which is the same printer (in /etc/printcap) that I use for Netscape under Unix, the test page gets sent across, but it isn't correct (graphic is all skewed). I'm figuring that there is something different that I must do with my printcap for a samba-shared printer vs local, but looking through the archives, can't find anything...

I am sharing some printers attached to Win95 boxes, and would like to be able to do more than connect from Linux with smbclient and print via translate. I would like to be able to specify a printcap entry for these so as to be able to print from pine or lynx or Netscape (when I get X running here at work). I haven't found anything in Samba docs or LDP docs yet to tell me how to write such an entry on my Linux box for a queue on a remote Samba printer. Can anyone point me to something th...
