Package: cups-client
Version: 1.4.4-7+squeeze1
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze patch
The subject says all. If I try to export all cups printers to samba, cupsaddsmb
seems to hang.
Testing this with the -v switch I could see that cupsaddsmb is in an endless
loop because at least
one of the operations (As far as I remember correctly - can not check this in
the moment) could not
be completed.
Starting without the '-a' switch for each printer separately works for me.
The following wrapper script solves the problem for me:
--------------------8<-------------------------
#!/bin/bash
#set -x
set -u
CupsAddSMB=$( which cupsaddsmb )
# no more changes below this line
AskUserData()
{
read -p "Please enter username for acessing cupsaddsmb [default:
${USER}]: " UserName
if [ -z "${UserName}" ]; then
UserName=${USER}
fi
read -s -e -p "Please enter password for user ${UserName} to access
cupsaddsmb: " Passwd
echo ""
}
if [ -n "${CupsAddSMB}" ]; then
CupsPrinters=( $( lpstat -a | awk '{ print $1 }' | sort -u ) )
if [ ${#CupsPrinters[*]} -gt 0 ]; then
AskUserData
for CupsPrinter in ${CupsPrinters[*]}; do
${CupsAddSMB} -U ${UserName}%${Passwd} ${CupsPrinter}
done
else
echo "FATAL: no printers defined in cups, aborted."
exit -1
fi
else
echo "FATAL: cupsaddsmb not found, aborted."
exit -1
fi
--------------------8<-------------------------
Cheers, Christian
