I set up printing IAW:
What does "IAW" mean?
http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/printing.html
This side is currently unavailable to me. I hope it contains the same document as http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/printing.html, which I *can* see...
I've confirmed the drivers are being installed to /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86.
More exactly, they should end up in "/etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/2/" or in "/etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/3/" (depending on which type of driver you chose to install.
Yet I am unable to print even a test page. I get the following error:
"Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print trouble shooter for assistance? Access is denied."
What are you getting with these commands:
rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumprinters" SUPERSERVER (if you have in the "description"
lines two commas, there are no
drivers recognized by Samba....)rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumdrivers" SUPERSERVER rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumdrivers 2" SUPERSERVER rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumdrivers 3" SUPERSERVER
rpcclient -Uroot -c "enumports" SUPERSERVER
This checks if Samba exports the kind of stuff Windows clients are looking for....
And I get the following errors in my samba log file:
tdb(/usr/local/samba/var/locks/printing/irl.tdb): tdb_oob len 1600941951 beyond eof at 67552

The following is my smb.conf file:
[global]
netbios name = SUPERSERVER workgroup = WINZOMBIES os level = 99 preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes security = user domain logons = yes logon path = \\%N\%u\profile logon drive = H: logon home = \\%L\%U logon script = startup.bat guest account = nobody map to guest = bad user
time server = yes admin users = root @sysgrp
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
printing = lprng load printers = yes show add printer wizard = yes printcap name = /etc/samba/lib/printcap printer admin = @ntadmin root lpq cache time = 20 use client driver = no
[netlogon] path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon read only = yes write list = ntadmin
[profiles] path = %H/profile read only = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700
[homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No
[print$] comment = Printer Driver Download Area path = /etc/samba/drivers browseable = yes guest ok = yes read only = yes printable = yes
Where it you find the advice to tag your [print$] share as "printable"?? This is wrong. It means that Samba tries to export a printer with the name of "print$", while it should be just a special file share holding the driver files for clients to download. (If it is a typo in above document, quick-quick!, provide a pointer to the exact place where it occurs so it may be corrected....)
Instead of "printable = yes" insert a "write list = @ntadmingroup, username1, username2" to make it writeable to these users. (root gets write access in any case, if he is in the "smbpasswd" file (or backend).
Doesn't it work if you copy the print-related settings as suggested in the document you quoted? Start there and then work from that point to make your modifications, and you'll see which of your settings (like "create mode" etc.) may break it....
[printers] comment = All Printers browseable = no printable = yes public = yes writable = no guest ok = yes create mode = 0700 path = /var/spool/samba
[irl] path=/tmp comment = Main Lab Lexmark Printer browseable = yes printable = yes public = yes create mode = 0700 lpq command = lpq -Plp-std lprm command = lprm -Plp-std %j print command = /irus/bin/lpr -r -h -Plp-std %s
