First off I have read the SAMBA 2.2 printer documetation and Samba Printing
Documentation for 3.0. And searched the Internet through Google and did not come up
with much. Maybe it is how I am doing search I don't know. I had some success using
CUPS for Point and Click printing using cupaddsmb command. I could get the print
drivers to download on W2K and XP. But, I could not get the the Adobe Drivers to
download to my Win9x machines. When I tried to download the print drivers through APW
to the Samba server you would see the drivers copy to the server, but when you click
OK I get the message Printer settings could not be saved. Access is denied. Here is
the rights on my printer directory.
drwxrwxrwx 37 root root 4096 Jul 1 20:12 Apps
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Jun 22 10:44 lost+found
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 Jun 24 17:12 netlogon
drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 4096 Jun 27 18:49 printers
Here is the rights for the directories under printers
drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 4096 Jul 2 19:58 w32x86
drwxrwxrwx 3 root garnold 4096 Jul 2 19:31 win40
Here is rights for the directories under w32x86-- Notice __SKIP_0184
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Jul 2 19:20 2
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Jul 2 16:17 3
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jul 2 19:58 __SKIP_0184
Also through W2K APW I tried to add printers that are not setup on the Red 9.0 linux
box and created them trough APW I get the error message "Printer settings could not be
saved. Access is denied." I also noticed that this weird directory would pop-up in my
printers directory it is named __SKIP_0184. When adding the printer fails I click
cancel and it disappears. I truly believe it is rights issue I just do not know where
to look. My background is in NT, so I just begun to start learning Linux and using
for server applications. I have been real happy with Linux and Samba just stuck on
this printer problem. Also, I need some help with the addprinter command and
delprinter command. What goes after the command? Most examples I see are addprinter
command is like this "addprinter = " I know there is more to that command than this
just blank. Would some give me a good example of addprinter and delprinter command
that works on Red Hat 9. Here is my smb.conf file.
Thanks
