Be sure samba is starting after CUPS. Try restarting samba and see if
printers are accessible after you restart it.
sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
or
sudo service smbd restart
sudo service nmbd restart

Hi.
I've configured a Samba PDC controller on which I've configured a couple of
printers using Cups.
I've set up the relevant config according to the documentation, so:
load printers = Yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /dati/samba/drivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
write list = root,administrator,"@Domain Admins"
directory mask = 0775
create mask = 0775
directory mask = 0775
create mask = 0775
force create mode = 0775
force directory mode = 6775
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = Yes
public = Yes
guest ok = Yes
writable = No
printable = Yes
write list = root,administrator,"@Domain Admins"
The problem is that if I browse \\server I get the list of shares, including
the two cups printers. If I go into the printer subfolder I see two printers
with no name, so when I try to edit properties to upload drivers it complains
printer has no name.
Same happens if I go back to server shares' "root" and I try to add the
printer, I get asked for the drivers, provide them, then when finishes copyin it
complains the printer has no name or it's not on the server anymore.
What could be the problem?
thanks
