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,

We have been using CUPS to handle printing and have run into some "features" some of which 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

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

Hello, I've compiled Samba 3.0.0 with CUPS support. I verified this: # ldd /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd *snip* libcups.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcups.so.2 (0x400dc000) *snip* My smb.conf was copied from the HOWTO and the relevant sections look like: [global] *snip* # print support load printers = yes printing = cups printcap name = cups *snip* [printers] comment = All

Greetings I've installed Samba and I've a printing problem which you can see from the log file. The error I get from the /var/log/log.smb is : Unable to open printcap file lpstat for read! In the /etc/smb.conf file I have: debug level = 3 load printers = yes printcap name = /etc/printcap printcap name = lpstat printing = bsd Any help appreciated

Gordon, I did as you suggested, and that seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the suggestion However, this is contrary to the given docs on how to use CUPS with Samba, is it not?

I am having a bit of a problem getting my Samba printer configuration to work with Windows XP(I am running samba on Linux Redhat 7.3). My other shares seem to work as I can find my files on the my Linux system using XP. I have used redhat 7.3 kde printer configurations to create the appropriate files. The result is when I try to send a print job the printer kicks into to gear but only a blank

I'm running Samba 3.0.21a (blastwave build) on Solaris 9. The Solaris servers have no printers attached or accessible, just file service. Samba users authenticate off a Win2003 AD controller and get printing from that. I got rid of the "Unable to connect to CUPS Server" errors by adding to smb.conf the line printing=bsd but I am still getting smbd[4809]: [ID 702911 daemon.error]

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

Hello all. I'm currently setting up a RedHat box with 4 nics to handle SMB printing for 4 separate subnets. I have CUPS printing set up and functioning. I have a separate smb.conf file configured to bind to one interface each, and everything is dandy. Here 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

Morning... Just spent this evening getting printing setup off my FreeBSD machine (oh, how I love Solaris at these times *groan*)...got it now so that I can print directly from Netscape, color and graphics and all.

Hello everyone, I've been experiencing many problems recently with windows software parsing large text files stored on a samba share (smb version 3.6.3 on ubuntu12.04).

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
