[Samba] Add Printer Wizard Plus CUPS Jeffrey M. Hardy hardyjm at potsdam.edu Wed Dec 10 22:28:12 GMT 2003
I'm having some problems with our Samba Add-Printer-Wizard setup and CUPS. Everything is working fine (drivers upload, download, configured) except for one thing. Both my addprinter and deleteprinter scripts are forced to restart Samba in order to successfully complete their respective adding and deleting. Because of this, sometimes Samba will not come back up correctly.
I read that normally Samba will re-read smb.conf and pick up any printer
entries and complete the process. However, when dealing with CUPS as
the printing subsystem, the printers are stored separately in (usually)
/etc/cups/printers.conf. If I do not restart Samba during this process,
the client receives an "Access denied" error message. Is there a way to
get Samba to read the CUPS printers conf info without restarting Samba?
Dunno if that is good enough for you:
"kill -HUP `pidof smbd`"
Or submit a bug report to http://bugzilla.samba.org/. Or wait till it's fixed.
I agree it is a bug.
BTW -- I've written a very rough "add printer script" also. Do you mind sending yours to me in exchange of mine? (I didn't dare to publish mine yet, since I am a terribly new into shell scripting....)
Thank you.
