Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: samba
I have done some tests with a Samab server and CUPS. There I have
discovered that Samba takes the information about existing print queues
from /etc/printcap and not through the CUPS API. As Ubuntu comes set up
with CUPS as its printing system (and all other free software printing
system projects died) I expect Ubuntu to pre-configure Samba to use
CUPS.
To fix this, the following settings in /etc/samba/smb.conf should be
used:
[global]
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /etc/samba/drivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
All settings no mentioned here can stay as they are. Most important are
the settings in the "[global]" section. With all the settings shown here
Samba is prepared for the use of "cupsaddsmb" (see "man cupsaddsmb")
which would be even better for the users.
Can this be set up that way for Gutsy?
