similar to: Cups printers troubles

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

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

Dear All, after changing my Linux box to Samba 2.2.3a and CUPS I'm struggling with some probleme :

hello, I'm having a problem with print files not being deleted out of /var/spool/samba directory after a print job completes. Right now I am running RedHat 7.3, Samba 2.2.5 with CUPS 1.1.14 as my printing system. I was under the impression that after the job completed Samba was suppose to remove the job from that spool directory. Right now it just grows and grows until I have to

I have a Samba 3.0.6 server and a CUPS 1.2.0 server running on my machine. They have been compiled with: Samba: ./configure --with-pam --with-pam_smbpass --with-quotas --with-sys-quotas CUPS: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/cups --with-cups-user=cups --with-cups- group=cups --with-docdir=/usr/local/cups/docdir --with- logdir=/usr/local/cups/logdir --with-rcdir=/usr/local/cups/rcdir --enable-ssl

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello world, I've dug through the docs and googled through the net, but I'm still unable to fix my Samba (2.2.3a-6 for Debian) setup so that I can print from my wife's Windows XP laptop. The server is using Cups and I can print from the server and over the net from my (Debian) laptop. The XP box can connect to the server and browse

Hi all, I have been using Samba 3.0.2a-1 on Debian for a while now, no problems. I upgraded to 3.0.4-5 and now I can't see any printers as shares. I have tried everything I can think of with smb.conf and still no printers show up. Below is my smb.conf and printcap files, does anyone know what's wrong here? Thank you in advance, Darren -------/etc/samba/smb.conf--------- [global]

In our computer lab, there are 6 Centos 5.4 workstations. There is an HP printer with jet direct card. It often works. But sometimes users come and get me saying the printer is broken, but it is actually working fine for *most* of the workstations. On the troubled system, I run system-config-printer and I check the printer in question (under properties) and I see the printer has been disabled.

Hi! It seems my samba and cups won't communicate with each other. I've configured samba to load the printers from cups: load printers = yes printing = cups printcap name = cups [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = yes public = no read only = yes create mode = 0700 valid users = @digiszfv

hi all and thanks in advance for reading this i have worked with samba for a while, sharing drives on my linux boxes and all went well until now. now, i tried to share a printer. 1 i setup a printer in a box with cups. the printer is working fine in that host printing everything as it is told. 2 i tried to share the printer to: 2.1 one windows wrokstation in the lan

We have a samba 2.2.3a-12.3 for Debian running, and something odd in printing. We use CUPs as linux print server. When we print from a w2k station, prints come out the printer, but the printer window reports a cycle of messages: - initializing printer - opening printer - failed to open, retrying what can be the cause? parts of the smb.conf: ============== [global] printcap

I am driving Suse 8.2, samba 2.2.7a, cups 1.1.18 As I mentioned recently I cannot see the cups printer queues from a windows client even if lpq -Pprinter on the cups server gives the correct status. I tested a litte more and got the following results: 1.) If I configure samba to printing = CUPS printcap name = CUPS I can see all queue entries in the windows status panel, too -- except

Some notes first: Fedora Core 1 (2 node HA cluster, heartbeat & drbd) Cups 1.1.20 Samba 3.0.4 400 Windows 2000/XP clients 50 print queues HP Laserjets, Xerox colour multifunctionals, Ricoh mulitfunctionals, HP DesignJet plotters 2000+ print jobs/day 8000+ pages/day 5GB + print data/day I have a custom printer accounting application that is run by samba when a print job arrives at

I have searched around the samba documentation, including the smb.conf man page, and have found nothing regarding the cups printing system except change printcap to cups. Now, I have done that, but printing still does not work. I need some types of details and a sample smb.conf and/or any other relevant documentation. Thanks much, George D. Plymale

I'm running "Samba 2.2.3a-6 for Debian" and I've been largely successful setting it up. I have one curious problem remaining. My wife's Windows laptop (running XP Home), can see the printer on the server (it apparently succeeds in connecting to it and initializing its view of the queue), but it doesn't print. Jobs sent to it just vanish into the ether. I don't see

Using samba 3.4.9 and cups 1.4.3 I have "printing = cups", but for some reason samba is not picking up the cups printers or creating the printers share. The problem is obviously this, from the samba logs: [2011/03/28 14:09:43, 0] printing/print_cups.c:103(cups_connect) Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost:631 - Connection refused However, cupsd is most certainly listening

Hi all, I have set up a printer in cups and I can see it with lpstat -a, and I can print to it. I put what I thought was the appropriate stuff in smb.conf, and yet no printer shows up to the NT client I'm testing with, or in smbclient -L output. Any ideas at all? Here is the relevant info: ### smb.conf excerpts ### [global] ... printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache
