Package: cupsys Version: 1.2.1-2 Severity: wishlist After upgrading to the latest cupsys package in testing, the CUPS printer no longer appeared as a samba share (not visible from a Windows machine nor a Linux box running smbclient).
After spending several hours trying to track the problem down, finally came across Debian bug #310604, filed against samba, which explains that names longer than 12 characters don't appear in browse lists (should have remembered that...). New cupsys package had me recreate all printers, and offered names like HP_PSC_2200_Series_USB_1 which wasn't changeable, even if I'd known that I should change it. Finally changed the printer name in /etc/cups/printers.conf manually to "HP_PSC_2210", and the printer once more appeared on the Windows box and from Linux via smbclient. Perhaps a warning that long filenames don't work well with samba would be appropriate. It might also help if we could rename a printer from the web interface (apologies if it's possible, but I couldn't find out how). .....Ron -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16.20-cheops-0 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages cupsys depends on: ii adduser 3.87 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.1 Debian configuration management sy ii gs-esp 8.15.1.dfsg.1-2 The Ghostscript PostScript interpr ii libacl1 2.2.37-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.3.6-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcupsimage2 1.2.1-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsys2 1.2.1-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libdbus-1-2 0.61-6 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgnutls13 1.3.5-1.1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libldap2 2.1.30-13 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam0g 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpaper1 1.1.17 Library for handling paper charact ii libslp1 1.2.1-5 OpenSLP libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-10 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original ii perl-modules 5.8.8-4 Core Perl modules ii procps 1:3.2.6-2.2 /proc file system utilities ii xpdf-utils [poppler-util 3.01-8 Portable Document Format (PDF) sui ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime Versions of packages cupsys recommends: ii cupsys-client 1.2.1-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii foomatic-filters 3.0.2-20060318-2 linuxprinting.org printer support ii smbclient 3.0.22-1 a LanManager-like simple client fo -- debconf information: cupsys/raw-print: true cupsys/ports: 631 cupsys/backend: ipp, lpd, parallel, socket, usb cupsys/portserror: cupsys/browse: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
