[Samba] Add printer wizard (XP)
Hello list
I have been really wowed by samba 3 so far, i just have one last mission
to complete... please help!
I have samba 3.0.2a-SuSE installed on a SuSE 9.0 box. It uses winbind to
authenticate against a win server 2003 box - this seems to work fine,
users can own files and this is shown when getfacl is run on the shares
(owned by DOMAIN\User).
The last problem i have is adding printers...
The add printer wizard shows for the windows domain administrator, and
he can add a printer right untill the last screen of the wizard - when
he clicks the finish button, it shows the error:
Add Printer Wizard
Unable to Install Printer. Access is denied.
The only thing i can think of is that he has no permission to add a cups
printer? The driver files are correctly copied across to PRINT$, but
then straight after this the error appears.
Here is my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = MYDOMAIN
server string = samba test
security = DOMAIN
password server = pwdserver
log level = 1
syslog = 0
socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
printcap name = CUPS
os level = 2
preferred master = No
local master = No
idmap uid = 1-2
idmap gid = 1-2
admin users = MYDOMAIN\administrator
printer admin = MYDOMAIN\administrator
printing = cups
veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/tmp
write list = MYDOMAIN\administrator
create mask = 0600
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
admin users = @ntadmin, root, MYDOMAIN\administrator
write list = @ntadmin, root, MYDOMAIN\administrator
printer admin = @ntadmin, root, MYDOMAIN\administrator
read only = No
create mask = 0644
guest ok = Yes
As stated, everything else seems to be working fine.
/var/lib/samba/drivers is owned by MYDOMAIN\Administrator and is chmod
777 (desperate!)
/var/tmp is 777
@ntadmin is a mapped group of Domain Admins
Thanks in advance!

Hello list

Add Printer Wizard
Unable to Install Printer. Access is denied.
You need 2 things for this to work:
1.) a setting in smb.conf add printer command = /path/to/smb-add-printer-script.sh
2.) an actual smb-add-printer-script.sh script in named path
So far, I don't know of anyone who has written a reliably working add
printer command script which works with CUPS.
By own efforts got stuck some time ago because of a weird re-naming problem
(Samba re-named my newly created printer because it executed the script a
2nd time somehow)
I will probably revisit that topic within the next few weeks.
The point is that the script needs to take the variables to run CUPS lpadmin
from what the user filled into the Add Printer Wizard fields
The only thing i can think of is that he has no permission to add a cups
printer? The driver files are correctly copied across to PRINT$, but
then straight after this the error appears.
The usefulness of the APW for you (without the add printer command) is
currently limited to add new drivers and for existing printqueues
Here is my smb.conf:
It misses the add printer command line
[global]
workgroup = MYDOMAIN
server string = samba test
security = DOMAIN
password server = pwdserver
log level = 1
syslog = 0
socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
printcap name = CUPS
os level = 2
preferred master = No
local master = No
idmap uid = 1-2
idmap gid = 1-2
admin users = MYDOMAIN\administrator
printer admin = MYDOMAIN\administrator
printing = cups
veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/
Cheers,

It's really easier just to add the printer in cups and have samba pick it up, unless you start doing things like explicitly using the location field to contain ip and port/queuename information that your script can use when adding the printer.

Re: [Samba] Add printer wizard (XP)
Thanks, i will give it a bash ;)
I am quite keen to use the APW at this site because the admin is a die
hard Windows/GUI user and freezes up like a deer in the headlights
whenever 'terminal' is mentioned!
Would it be better to use another printing subsystem?
Also, is there any way to make the printers on the samba server just
'links' to the ip printers? IE when clients connect they download the
drivers and then print directly to the printers ip, not the samba server.
Thanks again,
Hamish
