[Samba] 3.0.1-member-server-printing
hello list, after successfully playing around to get a working samba 3.0.1-PDC-LDAP-Suse9 configuration a new challenge takes place : scenario: suse9 with samba 3.0.1 as a member server in a NT4 controlled domain. winbind works as expected (thanks to documention authors). There seems to be no problem with file sharing, ACL is working properly (I'm using xfs filesystem). :-) so, now the problem : printing 1.) sharing the printer(s) works ok, the only problem occurs with long and short names of Printer shares, I've named the printer queues with short names and load all printers for sharing, then gave additional shares with log names referencing the proper queue. My question, is this a passable solution ?? extract of smb.conf: ... [printers] comment = All printers printable = yes path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes public = yes read only = yes writable = no printer admin = @ntadmin,DOMAIN+Administrator [hp LaserJet 2200 Series PCL6-2] printable = yes path = /var/spool/samba browseable = yes guest ok = yes public = yes read only = yes writable = no printer name = laser2200 printer admin = @ntadmin,DOMAIN+Administrator ... 2.) driver installation : I've tried to install the printer drivers for clients (win9x/2000/xp) via the APW (add printer wizard), but I've failed with access denied. If I changed the filesystem permissions in the [print$]-path in the way that the DOMAIN+Administrator is allowed to create directories and files, the driver files were copied on to the samba box. But the driver installation failed (maybe for the default properties). My question, are there other files where I've to change the permission to allow DOMAIN+Administrator write access, e.g. /var/lib/samba/ntprinters.tdb or the the subdirectory containing the *.tdb(s) for the shared printers (e.g. /var/lib/samba/printing/hp LaserJet 2200 Series PCL6-2.tdb) ?? extract of smb.file ...

RE: [Samba] 3.0.1-member-server-printing
I guess your smb.conf is correct. I'm using cups on freebsd. I install cups( very easy) and I add a printer thanks to the webinterface. I print a test page. After that I upload the drivers in the print$ share by a little bit tricky way. I log to my domain with root (added with pdbedit...-u root) on my Windows 2000 client ( It is the only case you shoul do it!!). I browse the network, the sambaserver and go to the printers section. I right click on the printers , and properties I'm asked if I want to download the drivers on my client since no drivers are installed. You have to click no Then you go the drivers section and do as if you install new drivers. You choose in the list and it will upload the drivers on your sambaserver. It works fine!!

RE: [Samba] 3.0.1-member-server-printing
Thanks for the fast reply, but the problem is that the server is a member server in a NT4 controlled domain, there is no user root (uid=0) in the domain, if there would be a samba PDC, there should be no problem with your solution. regards odi Am Mi, den 11.02.2004 schrieb Bertrand Maugain um 12:09: I guess your smb.conf is correct.

Re: [Samba] 3.0.1-member-server-printing
ok, failure :-( I've changed permission on all *.tdb in /var/lib/samba, driver files transfered correctly, samba noticed Added printer driver. Printer name is blabla . NT4-Server reported (translated from german) : could not changed to given driver, previous settings will be restored. after closing the dialog, an additional dialog pops up saying: Printer properties couldn't be stored, Access denied. (also translated from german) I've raised the log level and noticed a lot of NT_STATUS messages like: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND NT_STATUS_NOT_A_DIRECTORY NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE NT_STATUS_INVALID_LEVEL any suggestions ? is this a solution ? 1.) create account named root on PDC (NT4), added to group Domain Admins 2.) changed uid in winbind_idmap.tdb to 0 (is there a way to do this ? with the tdb utitlities ?) 3.) log on with this account and try ones more regards odi Am Mi, den 11.02.2004 schrieb Manfred Odenstein um 16:48: [global] ... printer admin = DOMAIN+Administrator ... doesn't help, sorry, it's already there.
