LinuxQuestions.org - Exporting print drivers. cupsaddsmb

Hi,
Have been batteling with cups and samba for a week.

My desred setup is as follows:
Printers are connected to debian 4 server.
I want to allow printing from the local network.
Linux clients automatically detect printers using cups browsing
Windows uses samba printers, using the print$ share to get CUPS' postscript drivers

Having collected the necessary driver files:

Code:

debian4:/usr/share/cups/drivers# ls -al

total 1452

Printcap /var/run/cups/printcap

And samba:

Code:

#======================= Global Settings =======================



[global]



## Browsing/Identification ###



# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of

  workgroup = raincode



# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field

  server string = %h server



# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:

# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server

;  wins support = no



# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client

# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both

;  wins server = w.x.y.z



# This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.

  dns proxy = no



# What naming service and in what order should we use to resolve host names

# to IP addresses

;  name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast



#### Networking ####



# The specific set of interfaces / networks to bind to

# This can be either the interface name or an IP address/netmask;

# interface names are normally preferred

;  interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0



# Only bind to the named interfaces and/or networks; you must use the

# 'interfaces' option above to use this.

# It is recommended that you enable this feature if your Samba machine is

# not protected by a firewall or is a firewall itself.  However, this

# option cannot handle dynamic or non-broadcast interfaces correctly.

;  bind interfaces only = true







#### Debugging/Accounting ####



# This tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine

# that connects

  log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m



# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).

  max log size = 1000



# If you want Samba to only log through syslog then set the following

# parameter to 'yes'.

;  syslog only = no



# We want Samba to log a minimum amount of information to syslog. Everything

# should go to /var/log/samba/log.{smbd,nmbd} instead. If you want to log

# through syslog you should set the following parameter to something higher.

  syslog = 0



# Do something sensible when Samba crashes: mail the admin a backtrace

  panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d





####### Authentication #######



# "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account

# in this server for every user accessing the server. See

# /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-HOWTO/ServerType.html

# in the samba-doc package for details.

  security = user



# You may wish to use password encryption.  See the section on

# 'encrypt passwords' in the smb.conf(5) manpage before enabling.

  encrypt passwords = yes



# If you are using encrypted passwords, Samba will need to know what

# password database type you are using.  

  passdb backend = tdbsam



  obey pam restrictions = yes



  guest account = nobody

  invalid users = root



# This boolean parameter controls whether Samba attempts to sync the Unix

# password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the

# passdb is changed.

;  unix password sync = no



# For Unix password sync to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following

# parameters must be set (thanks to Ian Kahan <<kahan@informatik.tu-muenchen.de> for

# sending the correct chat script for the passwd program in Debian Sarge).

  passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

  passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .

# 'passwd program'. The default is 'no'.

;  pam password change = no



########## Domains ###########

# must have this setting enabled. If you are the BDC you must

# change the 'domain master' setting to no

#

;  domain logons = yes

#

# The following setting only takes effect if 'domain logons' is set

# It specifies the location of the user's profile directory

# from the client point of view)

# The following required a [profiles] share to be setup on the

# samba server (see below)

;  logon path = \\%N\profiles\%U

# Another common choice is storing the profile in the user's home directory

;  logon path = \\%N\%U\profile



# The following setting only takes effect if 'domain logons' is set

# It specifies the location of a user's home directory (from the client

# point of view)

;  logon drive = H:

;  logon home = \\%N\%U



# The following setting only takes effect if 'domain logons' is set

# It specifies the script to run during logon. The script must be stored

# in the [netlogon] share

# NOTE: Must be store in 'DOS' file format convention

;  logon script = logon.cmd



# This allows Unix users to be created on the domain controller via the SAMR

# RPC pipe.  The example command creates a user account with a disabled Unix

# password; please adapt to your needs

; add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser --quiet --disabled-password --gecos "" %u



########## Printing ##########



# If you want to automatically load your printer list rather

# than setting them up individually then you'll need this

  load printers = yes



# lpr(ng) printing. You may wish to override the location of the

# printcap file

;  printing = bsd

;  printcap name = /etc/printcap



# CUPS printing.  See also the cupsaddsmb(8) manpage in the

# cupsys-client package.

  printcap name = cups



# When using [print$], root is implicitly a 'printer admin', but you can

# also give this right to other users to add drivers and set printer

# properties

;  printer admin = @lpadmin root





############ Misc ############



# Using the following line enables you to customise your configuration

# on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios name

# of the machine that is connecting

;  include = /home/samba/etc/smb.conf.%m



# Most people will find that this option gives better performance.

# See smb.conf(5) and /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-HOWTO/speed.html

# You may want to add the following on a Linux system:

#        SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

  socket options = TCP_NODELAY



# The following parameter is useful only if you have the linpopup package

# installed. The samba maintainer and the linpopup maintainer are

# working to ease installation and configuration of linpopup and samba.

;  message command = /bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/linpopup "%f" "%m" %s; rm %s' &



# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. If this

# machine will be configured as a BDC (a secondary logon server), you

# must set this to 'no'; otherwise, the default behavior is recommended.

# Some defaults for winbind (make sure you're not using the ranges

# for something else.)

;  idmap uid = 10000-20000

;  idmap gid = 10000-20000

;  template shell = /bin/bash

;

; The following was the default behaviour in sarge

Unable to set Windows printer driver (1)!

I can create and delete files in print$ when i browse to it from a windows host, though I can't change printer prefrences.
Anybody experienced with cups and samba know what the problem is here?
Thanks
