OS: FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #12: Mon Apr 29 09:57:49 EDT 2002
Samba: 2.2.3a / 2.2.4
Printing: CUPS 1.1.14
According to the logs for 2.2.4, I've been asked to send this message
to samba-technical. I'm having problems with setdriver and enumprinters,
as well as a problem getting printer properties from win2k after upgrading
to 2.2.4 .
SETDRIVER:
----------
(Note: I'm setting the drivers for all my printers to Apple drivers
so Windows will generate PS instead of PCL so I can count pages. For
all I know, this is causing some kind of problem)
When I run the following command from rpcclient
setdriver ps502 "Apple LaserWriter II NT v47.0"
I get the following error in the logs:
[2002/05/03 12:44:07, 0] rpc_parse/parse_spoolss.c:spoolss_io_devmode(651)
spoolss_io_devmode: Unknown specversion [0x0]!
[2002/05/03 12:44:07, 0] rpc_parse/parse_spoolss.c:spoolss_io_devmode(652)
spoolss_io_devmode: Please report to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[2002/05/03 12:44:07, 0] rpc_parse/parse_spoolss.c:spoolss_io_devmode(651)
spoolss_io_devmode: Unknown specversion [0x0]!
[2002/05/03 12:44:07, 0] rpc_parse/parse_spoolss.c:spoolss_io_devmode(652)
spoolss_io_devmode: Please report to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
On the client side, I get this:
rpcclient $> setdriver ps502 "Apple LaserWriter II NT v47.0"
prs_mem_get: reading data of size 4 would overrun buffer.
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) rpcclient ash
Running a getprinter gives this interesting result:
rpcclient $> getprinter ps502
flags:[0x800000]
name:[\\ash\ps502]
description:[ash\\ash\ps502,Apple LaserWriter II NT v47.0,®P-êäå.êp;c]
comment:[®P-êäå.êp;c]
Corresponding printers.conf entry:
<Printer ps502>
Info HP LaserJet 4si in E314
DeviceURI socket://ps502:9100
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
</Printer>
I'm not sure why it's getting garbage. From looking at my other printer
configs, samba appears to be getting the information from the CUPS
printers.conf "Info" section:
rpcclient $> getprinter ps114
flags:[0x800000]
name:[\\ash\ps114]
description:[ash\\ash\ps114,Apple LaserWriter II NT v47.0,HP Printer in 114]
comment:[HP Printer in 114]
From printers.conf:
<Printer ps114>
Info HP Printer in 114
DeviceURI socket://ps114:9100
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
</Printer>
I guess one of the printer DBs was corrupted somehow, as I found a workaround for
this: mv /usr/local/var/samba/locks{,.bak} and allow smbd to recreate it .
I figured I'd still report it so all this is in the archives.
ENUMPRINTERS:
-------------
Under 2.2.3a, enumprinters gives the following error:
rpcclient $> enumprinters
result was NT_STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL
Interestingly enough, this problem showed up "after a while", perhaps due to
adding more printers.
Under 2.2.4, I get this from the client:
rpcclient $> enumprinters
rpc_api_pipe: cmd 26 on pipe 7637 failed to return data.
result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
and this in the logs:
[2002/05/03 13:25:14, 0] rpc_server/srv_pipe_hnd.c:unmarshall_rpc_header(412)
unmarshall_rpc_header: assert on frag length failed.
getprinter <printer> still works, however. This is after having recreated
the locks directory.
PROPERTIES
----------
Moving from 2.2.3a to 2.2.4 has caused some of my printers to be unable
to display printer properties. When trying to get debug info, I found
-d 2 provided almost no insights, while -d 3 provided thousands of lines
information. Does anyone know what I should be looking for?
If anyone wants the smb.conf or any other info, I'll be glad to provide it.
