Subject: RE: Samba 2.2.1a + Red Hat 7.2 + Printing = Grief
I hate to admit it but I did get printing working on Samba 2.2.1a, but under
IRIX. Its been awhile, and I hoped that my notes would remind me what the
trick was...
There is a change in printing between 2.0 and 2.2 and it also gave me grief
in getting it to work (I started with 2.2.0 which had a bug in the printing
system). The big change is how the printer drivers are handled, with Samba
now going to the Windows RPC instead of LanMan. From looking at my setup I
have a directory tree /usr/local/samba/printers with subdirectories of the
various Window versions that we support, ./W32X86 and ./WIN40. Then in the
smb.conf I have a [print$] share, that specifies this directory:
[print$]
path=/usr/local/samba/printers
guest ok = Yes
printable=Yes
and the usual entry for a printer served by the samba server:
[HP4500]
path=/tmp
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
postscript = Yes
printer name HP4500LJ
Then you will use the Add Printer Wizard on the Windows client to add the
printer. It may prompt for a privilege user/password which I believe I used
root's on the Samba server (at the same time I was setting our system up as
a PDC). It will ask for the printer driver and it will then magically show
up in the Windows printers box.
The documentation for this can be found in
/usr/samba/docs/htmldocs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html in section 6 which
should have come with the distro, if not check www.samba.org. Hope this
helps.

Subject: Samba 2.2.1a + Red Hat 7.2 + Printing = Grief
I recently setup a Red Hat 7.2 box with Samba 2.2.1a (the one that came with
dist). Printer is working fine (inkjetc HP 842c) -it successfully prints
from
the Linux Box, "faye".
However, my laptop "ed" (running Windows 2000), won't connect to printer.
First time around, it get's accessed denied, so I added my login to the
write
less and also tried the guest account. That worked, but it won't accept any
print jobs from my laptop.
Worse, when I removed the samba entry and readded it, and try to readd it,
wierd stuff started to happen (like SecureCRT) crashing and getting function
calls errors when I tried to bring up the properties of the driver on my
laptop.
>From what I understand, the Samba printing changed between 2.0.x and 2.2.x,
but the instructions I read on the Samba documentation doesn't seem to help
me. It used to be a lot more simpler with 2.0.x. Sigh.
Has anybody setup Samba printing successfully?
