I have made progress since writing this last night. Following up on
something I found at www.samba.org, I inserted the following lines
into the global options section:
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
print command = /usr/bin/lpr
My current printers section looks like:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
public = Yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
And I now have:
[root@serpent samba]# smbclient -L serpent
Added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Domain=[CONSORT] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.3]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
public Disk Public
data Disk Data
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server)
lp Printer
Server Comment
--------- -------
RECORDER laptop running windows
SERPENT Samba Server
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
CONSORT SERPENT
And now windows sees the printer, and thinks it has printed to it. I
still have the error message in log.nmb:
[1999/10/04 12:05:21, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:find_domain_master_name_query_fail(362)
find_domain_master_name_query_fail:
Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name CONSORT<1b> for the workgroup CONSORT.
Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup.
which seems to happen every 15 minutes or so whether I'm fiddling with
samba or not, but I also get:
[1999/10/04 09:50:00, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(488)
recorder (192.168.1.2) connect to service lp as user smbuser (uid=509, gid=234) (pid
9327)
[1999/10/04 09:52:24, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(514)
recorder (192.168.1.2) closed connection to service lp
in log.recorder, and there is a file in /var/spool/samba.
So I suspect that samba is doing its thing correctly, except that it's
putting its spool file where lpr isn't looking for it.
Does anyone know what the right print command is?
