Package: samba
Version: 3.0.14a-3
Severity: important
Hi
I have two samba servers with attached printers (epsonSC880 and
hp895cxi). Both have been printing fine (from Debian and Windows clients)
for several months however, in the last few weeks this machine with the
HP printer wouldn't print. I can print a test page from the server
itself but clients can't seem to access the printer.
I've had a number of attempts to troubleshoot the problem without
success. I've compared the smb.conf files of both and they are
configured broadly in the same manner. Access to the shares on the
server work OK, it is only printing that presents a problem. If I
delete the printer on a windows client and reinstall, it prints but if I
reboot the client, it stops working again.
Using the cups web interface on a Debian client I've deleted and
reinstalled the printer and it reports that the printer is successfully
installed and is 'idle, ready to print'. However, trying to print gives
the error above.
On the samba site I found this:

Which I guess may be related. The printer section of the smb.conf is as
follows:
########## Printing ##########
# If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
load printers = yes
# lpr(ng) printing. You may wish to override the location of the
# printcap file
; printing = bsd
; printcap name = /etc/printcap
# CUPS printing. See also the cupsaddsmb(8) manpage in the
# cupsys-client package.
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
# When using [print$], root is implicitly a 'printer admin', but
# you can
# also give this right to other users to add drivers and set
# printer
# properties
; printer admin = @ntadmin
and the printer share:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = yes
printable = yes
public = yes
create mode = 0700
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
use client driver = yes
path = /tmp
If you need anything else, let me know.
The 'Epson' server is unaffected and they are both running the same
software.
Thanks
Clive
