Hi.
By default samba is using cups for printing, so it starts to flood in
logfiles
with:
smbd[12245]: [2013/09/13 21:03:48.595183, 0]
printing/print_cups.c:151(cups_connect)
smbd[12245]: Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost:631 -

refused
smbd[14345]: [2013/09/13 21:03:48.613769, 0]
printing/print_cups.c:528(cups_async_callback)
smbd[14345]: failed to retrieve printer list: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
I suggest to change printing system from cups to bsd to prevent this
annoying
messages in logs.
Change MASTER_SITES while here.
No issue with changing master sites but the change in config file
CHANGES THE DEFAULT to BSD not CUPS. Your own admission is "By default
samba is using cups for printing". I don't see the issue that people
wanting bsd style printing actually edit their config file and change it.
Yes, my thought is to set BSD by default to get rid of messages about
refused
connection to CUPS on a fresh setup of samba.
printing = cups is hardcoded somewhere, so even if this line is commented
out
in config file, samba still trying to connect to cups. The easyiest way to
override it is to set printing = bsd in config.
cups is not started by default and many of samba users doesn't use it's
printing support at all. So why not change hardcoded cups and spam in logs
to
bsd without spam?
If many users are not using printing then why not disable printing by
default all together instead?
Is it possible to do at runtime, I think it's not.
If noone is interested in changing printing defaults, I can just commit
MASTER_SITES chunk and remove trailing whitespace in DESCR.
Yes, at least I thought it was. It's a number of options in the config file.
Try something like this
load printers = no
printing = bsd
printcap name = /dev/null
disable spoolss = yes
You may also want to add a message such that when the port is install
that printing is disabled by default in the config file.
