Quoting Ryan Suarez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Ok, you're getting access denied cuz your users can't write to the
spool directory, try a 'chmod 1777 /var/spool/cups' and see if that
fixes it.
Also, I'm not sure why you're using the cups spool directory for samba?
 You should setup a separate path for samba spooling...

This was the issue. I had configured '/var/spool/cups' as my spool directory in my 'smb.conf' file. It should have read '/var/spool/samba' instead, it is even documented that it is a classic mistake.

Thanks Ryan!

what's your permissions on your spool directory: /var/spool/cups


Hello Ryan,

Here is what the permissions are

root:lp

drwx--x--- 3 root  lp    133 Apr 22 16:43 cups

and inside the cups directory for the tmp directory:

drwxrwx--T 2 root lp   6 Apr 22 10:36 tmp

Thanks for the help,

Hello List,

I am using samba and cups as a print server and have added it into my 2003 AD. What I am would like is to not install any drivers locally on the client but have samba automagically send the correct PPD to the client. I can add my samba server by using the 'net ads join -U Administrator' command and it works as do the commands 'wbinfo' and 'getent passwd'. I can see the samba server in the 'Active Directory Users and Computers' and the printer and when I right click and say connect it does. When I pull up the properties page for the printer and hit the 'Print Test Page' I get a dialog box saying "Test page failed to print. Access Denied". I am logged into the DC with the same user as I have on the samba box but I still get the access denied, I even created a smbuser with same name but different password and still denied.

I used the cupsaddsmb for my printer to place the files in the correct directory. This would constantly fail when I left the "security = ADS" line in my smb.conf file. So I had to change it to user and it ran fine, I then changed the "security = user" back to "security = ADS".

Thanks for any help,

Jon
