Hello list.
I've a strange issue with a samba 3.4.3 print server. Everything is fine
with most printers, meaning drivers are assigned on server side and
automatically distributed to the clients as expected. However, I fail to
configure a Xerox document center 7435 the same way.
When I attempt to assign a driver to the printer, from a windows client
with admin privileges, I get an 'unexpected error occured in the print
driver, close this windows and retry' error message, twice. More
precisely, I can see initial renaming of the printer according to the
driver name, then the error occurs, then the printer get renamed to ''
(which is a bit painful :P)
I previously had a slightly different model (document center pro c2636)
which was working fine. The other working printers are not xerox ones.
The driver is OK: it works fine when accessing the printer directly, and
also when used from a windows print server. Also, I tried other variants
(such as PCL driver instead of PS one), without success.
When configuring the same printer from a Windows system, I had to
configure it with raw socket connection, because IPP connection didn't
allowed me to share it at all, and CIFS connection to the print queue
caused me some troubles (the printer didn't appeared in the 'fax and
printers list' of the server from remote hosts).
The underlying printing system, cups, works perfectly. I've tried to
switch from IPP to raw socket connection, because of the behaviour
changes found with windows server, it didn't change anything.
I performed a network capture both on server and client side while
triggering the error. The result is available as:
http://www.zarb.org/~guillomovitch/server.pcap
http://www.zarb.org/~guillomovitch/client.pcap
I can see some suspicious messages such as:
WINREG OpenKey response, Error: WERR_BADFILE
SPOOLSS GetPrinterData response, PrintProcCaps_NT EMF 1.008, File not
found (pathname error)
SPOOLSS SetPrinterDataEx response, Access denied
But nothing really useful.
I'm joining my samba configuration file. I'm using mandriva 2009.0 as
server, and windows XP enterprise as client.
Any hint appreciated.

#======================= Global Settings =====================================
[global]
# 1. Server Naming Options:
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
workgroup = MSR-INRIA
realm = MSR-INRIA.IDF
# netbios name is the name you will see in "Network Neighbourhood",
# but defaults to your hostname
# netbios name = <name_of_this_server>
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Etoile
# Message command is run by samba when a "popup" message is sent to it.
# The example below is for use with LinPopUp:
; message command = /usr/bin/linpopup "%f" "%m" %s; rm %s
# 2. Printing Options:
# CHANGES TO ENABLE PRINTING ON ALL CUPS PRINTERS IN THE NETWORK
# (as cups is now used in linux-mandrake 7.2 by default)
# if you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
# printcap cache time, so samba will automatically load new cups printers
printcap cache time = 60
# It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless
# yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx, cups
printing = cups
# Samba 2.2 supports the Windows NT-style point-and-print feature. To
# use this, you need to be able to upload print drivers to the samba
# server. The printer admins (or root) may install drivers onto samba.
# Note that this feature uses the print$ share, so you will need to
# enable it below.
# Printer admins are now defined by granting the SePrintOperatorPrivilege, ie:
# run: net rpc rights grant 'DOMAIN\Printer Operators' SePrintOperatorPrivilege
# 3. Logging Options:
# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
max log size = 50
# Set the log (verbosity) level (0 <= log level <= 10)
# log level = 3
# 4. Security and Domain Membership Options:
# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page. Do not enable this if (tcp/ip) name resolution does
# not work for all the hosts in your network.
# hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.
# guest access
map to guest = bad user
guest account = nobody
# Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See
# security_level.txt for details.
security = ads
# Use password server option only with security = server or security = domain
# When using security = domain, you should use password server = *
# password server = <NT-Server-Name>
# password server = *
# Password Level allows matching of _n_ characters of the password for
# all combinations of upper and lower case.
# password level = 8
# username level = 8
# You may wish to use password encryption. Please read
# ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba documentation.
# Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents
# Encrypted passwords are required for any use of samba in a Windows NT domain
# The smbpasswd file is only required by a server doing authentication, thus
# members of a domain do not need one.
encrypt passwords = yes
#smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
# The following are needed to allow password changing from Windows to
# also update the Linux system password.
# NOTE: Use these with 'encrypt passwords' and 'smb passwd file' above.
# NOTE2: You do NOT need these to allow workstations to change only
# the encrypted SMB passwords. They allow the Unix password
# to be kept in sync with the SMB password.
; unix password sync = Yes
# You either need to setup a passwd program and passwd chat, or
# enable pam password change
; pam password change = yes
# passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd '%u'
; passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Re*ype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n \
;*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
# Unix users can map to different SMB User names
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
# Using the following line enables you to customise your configuration
# on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios name
# of the machine that is connecting
# include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%m
# Options for using winbind. Winbind allows you to do all account and
# authentication from a Windows or samba domain controller, creating
# accounts on the fly, and maintaining a mapping of Windows RIDs to unix uid's
# and gid's. winbind uid and winbind gid are the only required parameters.
#
# winbind uid is the range of uid's winbind can use when mapping RIDs to uid's
# idmap uid = 10000-20000
#
# winbind gid is the range of uid's winbind can use when mapping RIDs to gid's
# idmap gid = 10000-20000
#
# winbind separator is the character a user must use between their domain
# name and username, defaults to "\"
# winbind separator = +
#
# winbind use default domain allows you to have winbind return usernames
# in the form user instead of DOMAIN+user for the domain listed in the
# workgroup parameter.
# winbind use default domain = yes
#
# template homedir determines the home directory for winbind users, with
# %D expanding to their domain name and %U expanding to their username:
# template homedir = /home/%D/%U
# When using winbind, you may want to have samba create home directories
# on the fly for authenticated users. Ensure that /etc/pam.d/samba is
# using 'service=system-auth-winbind' in pam_stack modules, and then
# enable obedience of pam restrictions below:
# obey pam restrictions = yes
#
# template shell determines the shell users authenticated by winbind get
# template shell = /bin/bash
# 5. Browser Control and Networking Options:
# set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a master
# browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply
local master = no
# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This
# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this
# if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job
domain master = no
# Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election on startup
# and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election
preferred master = no
# 6. Domain Control Options:
# Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for
# Windows95 workstations or Primary Domain Controller for WinNT and Win2k
# domain logons = yes
# if you enable domain logons then you may want a per-machine or
# per user logon script
# run a specific logon batch file per workstation (machine)
# logon script = %m.bat
# run a specific logon batch file per username
# logon script = %u.bat
# Where to store roaming profiles for WinNT and Win2k
# %L substitutes for this servers netbios name, %u is username
# You must uncomment the [Profiles] share below
# logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%u
# Where to store roaming profiles for Win9x. Be careful with this as it also
# impacts where Win2k finds it's /HOME share
# logon home = \\%L\%u\.profile
# The add user script is used by a domain member to add local user accounts
# that have been authenticated by the domain controller, or when adding
# users via the Windows NT Tools (ie User Manager for Domains).
# Scripts for file (passwd, smbpasswd) backend:
# add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false '%u'
# delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel '%s'
# add user to group script = /usr/bin/gpasswd -a '%u' '%g'
# delete user from group script = /usr/bin/gpasswd -d '%u' '%g'
# set primary group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -g '%g' '%u'
# add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g && getent group '%g'|awk -F: '{print
$3}'
# delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel '%g'
# Scripts for LDAP backend (assumes nss_ldap is in use on the domain controller,
# and needs configuration in smbldap_conf.pm
# add user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m '%u'
# delete user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-userdel '%u'
# add user to group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -m '%u' '%g'
# delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -x '%u' '%g'
# set primary group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-usermod -g '%g' '%u'
# add group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupadd '%g' &&
/usr/sbin/smbldap-groupshow %g|awk '/^gidNumber:/ {print $2}'
# delete group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupdel '%g'
# The add machine script is use by a samba server configured as a domain
# controller to add local machine accounts when adding machines to the domain.
# The script must work from the command line when replacing the macros,
# or the operation will fail. Check that groups exist if forcing a group.
# Script for domain controller for adding machines:
# add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -c 'Machine
Account' -s /bin/false -M '%u'
# Script for domain controller with LDAP backend for adding machines (please
# configure in /etc/samba/smbldap_conf.pm first):
# add machine script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w -d /dev/null -c 'Machine
Account' -s /bin/false '%u'
# Domain groups:
# Domain groups are now configured by using the 'net groupmap' tool
# Enable priveleges, ie allowing members of Domain Admins to join machines
# to the domain
# enable privileges = yes
# Samba Password Database configuration:
# Samba now has runtime-configurable password database backends. Multiple
# passdb backends may be used, but users will only be added to the first one
# Default:
# passdb backend = smbpasswd guest
# TDB backen with fallback to smbpasswd and guest
# passdb backend = tdbsam smbpasswd guest
# LDAP with fallback to smbpasswd guest
# Enable SSL by using an ldaps url, or enable tls with 'ldap ssl' below.
# passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://ldap.mydomain.com smbpasswd guest
# Use the samba2 LDAP schema:
# passdb backend = ldapsam_compat:ldaps://ldap.mydomain.com smbpasswd guest
# Idmap settings (set idmap uid and idmap gid above):
# Idmap backend to use:
# idmap backend = ldap:ldap://ldap.mydomain.com
# LDAP configuration for Domain Controlling:
# The account (dn) that samba uses to access the LDAP server
# This account needs to have write access to the LDAP tree
# You will need to give samba the password for this dn, by
# running 'smbpasswd -w mypassword'
# ldap admin dn = cn=root,dc=mydomain,dc=com
# ldap ssl = start_tls
# start_tls should run on 389, but samba defaults incorrectly to 636
# ldap port = 389
# ldap suffix = dc=mydomain,dc=com
# Seperate suffixes are available for machines, users, groups, and idmap, if
# ldap suffix appears first, it is appended to the specific suffix.
# Example for a unix-ish directory layout:
# ldap machine suffix = ou=Hosts
# ldap user suffix = ou=People
# ldap group suffix = ou=Group
# ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap
# Example for AD-ish layout:
# ldap machine suffix = cn=Computers
# ldap user suffix = cn=Users
# ldap group suffix = cn=Groups
# ldap idmap suffix = cn=Idmap
# 7. Name Resolution Options:
# All NetBIOS names must be resolved to IP Addresses
# 'Name Resolve Order' allows the named resolution mechanism to be specified
# the default order is "host lmhosts wins bcast". "host" means use the unix
# system gethostbyname() function call that will use either /etc/hosts OR
# DNS or NIS depending on the settings of /etc/host.config, /etc/nsswitch.conf
# and the /etc/resolv.conf file. "host" therefore is system configuration
# dependant. This parameter is most often of use to prevent DNS lookups
# in order to resolve NetBIOS names to IP Addresses. Use with care!
# The example below excludes use of name resolution for machines that are NOT
# on the local network segment
# - OR - are not deliberately to be known via lmhosts or via WINS.
# name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast
# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names
# via DNS nslookups. The built-in default for versions 1.9.17 is yes,
# this has been changed in version 1.9.18 to no.
dns proxy = yes
# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's WINS Server
wins support = no
# WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on
# behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must be
# at least one WINS Server on the network. The default is NO.
wins proxy = no
# 8. File Naming Options:
# Case Preservation can be handy - system default is _no_
# NOTE: These can be set on a per share basis
# preserve case = no
# short preserve case = no
# Default case is normally upper case for all DOS files
# default case = lower
# Be very careful with case sensitivity - it can break things!
# case sensitive = no
# Enabling internationalization:
# you can match a Windows code page with a UNIX character set.
# Windows: 437 (US), 737 (GREEK), 850 (Latin1 - Western European),
# 852 (Eastern Eu.), 861 (Icelandic), 932 (Cyrillic - Russian),
# 936 (Japanese - Shift-JIS), 936 (Simpl. Chinese), 949 (Korean Hangul),
# 950 (Trad. Chin.).
# UNIX: ISO8859-1 (Western European), ISO8859-2 (Eastern Eu.),
# ISO8859-5 (Russian Cyrillic), KOI8-R (Alt-Russ. Cyril.)
# This is an example for french users:
# dos charset = 850
# unix charset = ISO8859-1
