 Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2005 4:26 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Samba Printing |
 |
|
I've been wrestling this for a couple days now, to no avail. I'm just trying to set up samba for printing. My share definitions work on my gentoo box from Mac OSX, but not my printing. I can add the printer to the mac osX box, through their cute setup progam, and its all fine and dandy till I try and print something. Once I print, the dialog comes up, and it says "Printing" under status, but "will retry in 10 seconds". Basically I can tell its half working. I've followed the guides here and here, but for the most part, I just can't quite figure it out. It might be a permission problem, and I've tried several different configurations. I am open to all suggestions. Here's my smb.conf
| Code: | #======================= Global Settings =====================================
[global]
workgroup = SPRINGFIELD
netbios name = Otto
server string = Samba Server %v
log file = /var/log/samba3/log.%m
max log size = 50
#Printing
load printers = yes
browseable = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printer admin = @snakattak
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd
lock directory = /usr/local/samba/var/lock
interfaces = eth0
bind interfaces only = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = yes
wins support = yes
security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam
#guest
guest ok = yes
guest account = nobody
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
# this path holds the driver structure
path = /etc/samba/printer
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
read only = yes
# add a username to the write list
# if you don't want root to be the only
# printer admin
write list = snakattak,root
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
printable = yes
create mode = 0700
printer admin = snakattak,root
[HPDeskJet970C]
comment = HP DeskJet 970C Network Printer
printable = yes
path = /var/spool/samba
browsable = yes
public = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.2.
printer admin = snakattak,root
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
[video]
path = /home/snakattak/vids
write list = snakattak

Oh yea, and printing works fine from the local machine, just not through samba.

Well, I figured it out. For some reason, the apple update replaced the /etc/cups/cups.conf on the OSX box, and so I just reverted to the cups.conf.applesave one (prior version to software update) and now all is good. I can view and modify the printer through cups web interface too.
