I've been having some problems with my printing since I installed debian. Perhaps someone here can pinpoint my problem rather quickly.
I have a linux server with CUPS installed and it is able to print locally with no problem whatsoever. When I configured samba to allow my windows (2k & me) machine to print to \\linserver\printer, it doesn't print. It creates a job (lpq.000x) and spools data (win_box_name.x) to \tmp as it should, but nothing prints. I do see that auth.log is giving me some seeming errors: Mar 23 19:15:22 linuxbox PAM_unix[464]: authentication failure; (uid=0) -> root for samba service Mar 23 19:15:31 linuxbox last message repeated 5 times Mar 23 19:15:33 linuxbox PAM_unix[464]: authentication failure; (uid=0) -> smbuser for samba service Now, I have a user named root on my windows me installation, so I assume that the root in the previous lines may be referring to that?... Following is my smb.conf: #----------------------------------- [global] workgroup = WORKGOURP server string = (Samba %v) interfaces=192.168.0.2/24 127.0.0.1/24 bind interfaces only = Yes #server string = Samba Server browseable = yes # enable printing with cups printing = cups printcap name = lpstat load printers = yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 100 read bmpx = No time server = Yes lock directory = /var/lock/samba locking = no strict locking = no share modes = yes security = SHARE null passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY # Allows the Samba server to become a domain controller #os level = 33 #domain master = yes os level = 65 preferred master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes guest account = smbuser hide dot files = No # Facilitates the long names recognition preserve case = no short preserve case = no character set = iso8859-1 [homes] comment = Home Directories preexec = /bin/sh -c 'echo /usr/bin/smbclient -M %m -I %I'& browseable = yes readonfiltered= no writable = yes create mode = 0750 public = yes [public] comment = Public path = /home/public/ read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 guest ok = Yes #create mode = 0775 [data] comment = Data path = /home/samba/data read only = No create mask = 0660 directory mask = 0770 guest ok = Yes [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = yes path = /tmp # to allow user 'guest account' to print. guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes create mode = 0700 # ===================================== # print command: see above for details. # ===================================== print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s # using client side printer drivers. # print command = lpr-cups -P %p %s # using cups own drivers (use generic PostScript on clients). lpq command = lpstat -o %p lprm command = cancel %p-%j #------------------------------------- Somehow the jobs are getting to the server, but not printing. Thanks so much for any help!!!
