Hi, James!
- Hi Kurt,
- Thanks for your response.

What was the exact "cupsaddsmb" you were using? From the "Warning"
message quoted I would guess you used
"cupsaddsmb -v printer_name"
or
"cupsaddsmb -v -a"
Either you don't have a printer with the name 'printer_name' at all,
or this printer (named via the "-a" for "all" paramenter) is a "raw"
printer and thusly doesn't have a PPD associated with it.
So -- *is* there a PPD associated to the printer-in-question? It
should be in "/etc/cups/ppd/printer-in-question.ppd...

- Yes.
But then, in a second step, cupsaddsmb is retrieving a copy of
it (using an IPP call) from there and temporarily storing it in
the CUPS spool directory, sub directory "tmp" under a weird
name:
/var/spool/cups/tmp/3cd1cc66376c0
Do you have a "tmp" in "/var/spool/cups/" (or whatever is
dafined to be the CUPS spool dir -- see the "TempDir" directive
in cupsd.conf) ? What are the access rights?
- I do have a TempDir of "/var/spool/cups/tmp". It's access rights are:
-
- [root@xxxxx tmp]# pwd
- /var/spool/cups/tmp
- [root@xxxxx tmp]# ls -al
- total 348
- drwx-----T 2 lp sys 4096 Feb 17 18:14 .
- drwx------ 3 lp sys 4096 Feb 14 09:33 ..
-
- The directory "/etc/cups/ppd" contains the following:
-
- drwxr-xr-x 2 lp sys 4096 Feb 14 09:33 .
- drwxr-xr-x 5 lp sys 4096 Feb 14 09:33 ..
- -rw-r--r-- 1 lp sys 36606 Feb 14 09:33 ccsys4100.ppd
- -rw-r--r-- 1 lp sys 36606 Feb 14 09:23 HP4100.ppd
- -rw-r--r-- 1 lp sys 44495 Feb 6 11:10 libsys8500.ppd
OK -- this means that your printer 'printer_name' is a "raw" printer
(if it exists at all).
What result do you get with
"cupsaddsmb -v ccsys4100"
???
If cupsaddsmb can't store the PPD in the "TempDir", it could
lead to the error message you are seeing...
After the PPD is in cupsd's "TempDir", cupsaddsmb makes a
smbclient connection to the Samba server's [print$] share to
"put" it there (alongside the rest of the needed PostScript
driver files).
Cheers,
Kurt
