[Samba] Need help on Samba Printer Port
Hi, I have 3 HP network printer with internal jetdirect board. One 4000N, one 4050N and one 4200N. All are share on my PDC Samba server which is under Linux Debian stable Woody (v3.0rX) : Samba v2.2.3a-13. I have a little question that I cant' answer my self : Can it be a problem if all of these printer have [Samba Printer Port] as their 'portname' ? (or 'portname' must be different for each network printer) ? Is their somebody who have the 'same' config as I have : several printer share by one Samba PDC ?

But you have not read the samba-howto-collection.pdf, which has a
chapter on this, which tells you *exactly* not to do this.
I have read the 6th chapter of theSamba-HOWTO-Collection paper and above all
the 6.2.2th chapter named 'Setting Drivers for Existing Printers'.
First of all, I remove all the files which was under my :
'\\MYSRV\print$\W32X86' directory and also do :
MYSRV:~# rpcclient MYSRV -U root%ROOTPASSWD -c setdriver nss.rdc NULL
After that I start to follow the 6.2.2th chapter process :
1.)
From a Windows 2000 Pro, trying to view the 'nss.rdc' properties throught the
'Network Neighborhood', result in an error message :
'Device settings cannot be displayed. The driver for the specified printer is
not installed, only spooler properties will be displayed. Do you want to
install the driver now ?'
2.)
I answered 'No' to this question. The 'Printer properties window' appeared.
3.)
I clicked on the 'Advanced' tab and on the 'New driver...' button.
4.)
I gave the axact directory where is the 'HP4050PS.INF' which correspond to
the driver I want to upload to the server.
All worked well. No other errors appeared.
I looked at my server to see if the driver's files were well upload. And as I
can see a new directory ('2') in the '\\MYSRV\print$\W32X86' with all the
driver's files I can say that all was well done.
But when I use the rpcclient's command, I can see that there were something
always missing.
MYSRV:~# rpcclient MYSRV -U root%ROOTPASSWD -c enumdrivers
gave me an empty answer.
And there is nothing else in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection
MYSRV:~# rpcclient MYSRV -U root%ROOTPASSWD -c enumprinters
gave me the following answer :

I have screenshots of the right method, but haven't had the time to get
them together properly.
Well, since the files are there, you should now be able to set the
driver with rpclient, but if you do it the right way, you don't need to
do anything.
Are you talking about the setdriver rpcclient'c command ?
Or are you talking of another rpcclient's command ?
You should not need this, well, at least I have never needed it, but we
use CUPS on all our print servers.
Yes, but I think the problem is a samba problem, not an LPRng or CUPS
problem.
You are spending too much time working around problems, instead of
reading the documentation.
Yes, but I have readen the Samba-HOWTO-Collection documentation and there is
no solution for my little problem.
In fact, I don't really know if it is a problem, as all works well :
UPLOADING drivers to the server, DOWNLOADING driver from the server
but there are some things that don't work as it do.
Thanks.
Best regards.

[Samba] 'Little' problems with Samba v2.2.3a-12.3 (Debian Woody)and PRINTERS !!

Here are my questions : 1.) I have not define the same spool directory between 'sd' printcap and path in smb.conf for each HP printer. nss.rdc : printcap : sd = /var/spool/lpd/nss.rdc smb.conf : path = /var/spool/lpd/nss.rdc.spool nss.1er : printcap : sd = /var/spool/lpd/nss.1er smb.conf : path = /var/spool/lpd/ns.1er.spool Is it a problem ? Must I define the same directory ? 2.) As I have added manually, my printers, in the samba 'smb.conf' file, why there is one printer with 'Samba Printer Port' as portname and the other with '\\MYSRV\nss.1er' as portname when I use the rpcclient's enumprinters command ? Which is the good one : Samba Printer Port or \\MYSRV\nss... ? How is it possible to change it ? --- # rpcclient MYSRV -U root%ROOTPASSWD -c enumprinters 2 INFO: Debug class all level = 1 (pid 32337 from pid 32337) session setup ok Domain=[MYDOM] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.3a-12.3 for Debian] cmd = enumprinters 2 enumprinters 2 servername:[\\MYSRV] printername:[\\MYSRV\nss.rdc] sharename:[nss.rdc] portname:[Samba Printer Port] drivername:[HP LaserJet 4050 Series PS] comment:[Partage imprimante HP4050N (1er etage)] location:[] sepfile:[] printprocessor:[WinPrint] datatype:[RAW] parameters:[] attributes:[0x18] priority:[0x1] defaultpriority:[0x1] starttime:[0x0] untiltime:[0x0] status:[0x0] cjobs:[0x0] averageppm:[0x0] Revision:[1] Owner SID: . servername:[\\MYSRV] printername:[\\MYSRV\nss.1er] sharename:[nss.1er] portname:[\\MYSRV\nss.1er] drivername:[HP LaserJet 4000 Series PCL6] comment:[Partage imprimante HP4000N (2eme etage)] location:[] sepfile:[] printprocessor:[WinPrint] datatype:[RAW] parameters:[] attributes:[0x1059] priority:[0x1] defaultpriority:[0x0] starttime:[0x0] untiltime:[0x0] status:[0x0] cjobs:[0x0] averageppm:[0x0] Revision:[1] Owner SID: --- END of rpcclient's enumprinters command. 3.) I have notice, that the rpcclient's enumprinters command, lists the 'location', 'sepfile' and 'parameters' fields as blank. What does these fields must contain ? How is it possible to change them ? 4.) I also used the rpcclient's enumdrivers but nothing was display. What this command really do ? What does it look for ? --- # rpcclient MYSRV -U root%ROOTPASSWD -c enumdrivers INFO: Debug class all level = 1 (pid 5229 from pid 5229) session setup ok Domain=[MYDOM] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.3a-12.3 for Debian] cmd = enumdrivers enumdrivers --- END of rpcclient's enumdrivers command. 5.) I have not define the samba 'add printer command' in the 'smb.conf' file. I know that it must be a script but I don't know what it must really do. I hope that this script must modify the 'printcap' file and also the 'smb.conf' file as we could do it manually if we want to add a new printer. Am I right ? 6.) I have heared about the 'make_printerdef' samba command. When must I exactly use it ? Is it an automatic command or must I use it manually ? I know that there is a lot of question but I want to know more on samba that we can found on the conventional documentation web site. Thank you very much in advance for your help. Best regards.
