Hi,



I'm trying to set up a samba-cups-pdf-printserver.
samba itself is running fine, but when i try to add the cups printer-drivers for windows i got the following error:


System: Debian/sarge with 2.4.20 i686 GNU/Linux
samba 3.0.2-2
cupsys 1.1.20final-13
Windows-driver from cups-samba-5.0rc1.tar


ssflx01_v2:~# cupsaddsmb -a -v -U uuuu

Have you installed your new printer SSFP102 just before running this command?

Before you did run this command -- have you checked that Samba
"sees" the new printer SSFP102?

 Password for uuuu required to access localhost via SAMBA:
 Running command: smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N -U'uuu%xxxx'
 -c 'mkdir W32X86;
 put /var/spool/cups/tmp/40404c740a656 W32X86/SSFP102.ppd;
 put /usr/share/cups/drivers/cupsdrv5.dll W32X86/cupsdrv5.dll;
 put /usr/share/cups/drivers/cupsui5.dll W32X86/cupsui5.dll;
 put /usr/share/cups/drivers/cups5.hlp W32X86/cups5.hlp'
 Domain=[STEYR-SSF] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.2-Debian]
 NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_COLLISION making remote directory \W32X86

...no problem.


putting file /var/spool/cups/tmp/40404c740a656 as \W32X86/SSFP102.ppd
putting file /usr/share/cups/drivers/cupsdrv5.dll as \W32X86/cupsdrv5.dll
putting file /usr/share/cups/drivers/cupsui5.dll as \W32X86/cupsui5.dll
putting file /usr/share/cups/drivers/cups5.hlp as \W32X86/cups5.hlp

...good.


Running command: rpcclient localhost -N -U'uuuu%xxxx' -c 'adddriver "Windows NT x86"
"SSFP102:cupsdrv5.dll:SSFP102.ppd:cupsui5.dll:cups5.hlp:NULL:RAW:NULL"'
Printer Driver SSFP102 successfully installed.

...good.


Running command: rpcclient localhost -N -U'uuuu%xxxx' -c 'setdriver SSFP102 SSFP102'
result was WERR_INVALID_PRINTER_NAME



This means that Samba doesn't "see" yet your printer.SSFP102 However, it has installed a driver named SSFP102.


tdbdump ntdrivers.tdb shows that the drivers are installed



Does "rpcclient -U'uuu%xxxx' -c enumprinters localhost" show your printer "SSFP102"? If not, re-start Samba or do a "kill -HUP `pidof smbd`" and try the "enumprinters" command again. If now you see SSFP102 recognized, you can repeat the "cupsaddsmb" with complete success. Or just run

  "rpcclient -N -U'uuuu%xxxx' -c 'setdriver SSFP102 SSFP102' localhost" or
  "rpcclient -d 5 -N -U'uuuu%xxxx' -c 'setdriver SSFP102 SSFP102' localhost"

from the commandline.

There is a bug in Samba which prevents newly

searching on google doesn't show any solution :-(


Google is *bad*. It should know all my previous answers to that queston... ;-)


any hints?



Hmmm.... ;-)
