Hello
I am in the process of trying to set up a Cups server and a Samba server
on a central Linux system in my home SOHO network. The network is
configured as a simple workgroup with all peer to peer connections.
There is no domain controller. On this network I have a printer attached
to a Win2K machine.
The Cups server is require so as to use a special driver from TurboPrint
for processing and preparing files for printing. Most of the Samba
server seems to be set up correctly in that I am able to access shared
files from other computers on my network. The only part which is not
working is the ability to send files to the Samba server, from other
computers on my network, for forwarding on to the Cups server, which in
turn processes and forwards the files on to the Win2K system for
printing out.
If, on the central server itself, I use an lp command to send a file
directly to the CUPs server, it works fine and the file will be printed
out. And like I mentioned I can browse files on the server from other
computers on my network. So, too my uneducated eyes, this appears to be
possibly some sort of authentication problem between the Samba server
and the Cup's server? If so, how can I trace it down to figure out
exactly why such a problem is occurring?
Another item of interest is that when I send a file from some computer
on my network, to the Samba/Cups server on the central computer, I do
see briefly the print job showing up in the print queue on the Win2K
machine! So perhaps there is some sort of authentication issue that is
arising from all this interaction and the Win2K machine is refusing to
print the job because of some kind of authentication problem? Again, if
so, how can I trace it down?
The Samba server is configured to use User level security. I have looked
in the various log files, Samba appears to be reporting that everything
went fine and the incoming username/password were accepted. However I do
not see anything being reported in the CUP's log files...
Dunno what other info is needed, and will be happy to supply copies of
any config files that might be helpful. Thanks in advance for any help
offered, I know this might be more complex than most setups, but I am at
a loss on how to proceed.
Post your smb.conf so we can see how this is set up. Also, what
version of Samba on what Linux distro ?
Jeremy.
Thanks Jeremy for your reply. I am running on SuSE 11.0 x64
architecture. From SWAT I got the following version info - version:
3.2.4-4.7-2210-SUSE-SL11.0 Hope that is correct.
As for my smb.conf, it is configured for my SOHO network at home. Does
not show the printer share I am actually trying to connect to as that is
supplied by CUPS. (autoloaded from the printcap file and called tp0.)
My printcap file is -
# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file
# will be lost.
tp0|Canon_PIXMA_MP780:rm=bigbang.marcchamberlin.com:rp=tp0:
My smb.conf file is shown below -
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN ()
