Greetings,
I'm having some
problems adding client printer drivers to a 2.2debian-2 Samba server via a
Win2k client and the Add Printers Wizard. I had manually added one driver
set (Generic Adobe Postscript) and then manually removed the same (copying all
relevant files to /etc/samba/drivers (and then deleting them) on Debian
potato).
Then, I tried to use
the OEM drivers (Samsung 1650 PCL 6), but I suspect I may have done it
incorrectly. Upon subsequent attempts (after deleting all the files
from the .../drivers/W32X86 directory), I am still unable to successfully upload
drivers. I have a suspicion that there remain some entries regarding my
failed uploads in a .tdb file or some such (perhaps the ntdrivers.tdb or
ntprinters.tdb in my /var/state/samba directory?). My question
is:
Can I safely delete
these files (or some others) to force smbd to refresh its cached printer drivers
database? Is there any way to be sure that no remnants linger from past
driver sets?
I have the following
suspicious lines from my smbd logfile (they are out of context, but hopefully
meaningful):
yield_connection: tdb_delete for name failed with error Record does not
exist
And also:
And also:
close_printer_handle: Invalid handle (OTHER)
Now, I can see that
files are being uploaded into the .../drivers/W32X86 directory, but they are not
successfully being served out. Any suggestions or pointers would be
appreciated.
