Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 13.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Samba AssignedTo: samba-maintainers@SuSE.de ReportedBy: siftspam-dev@fpchico.com QAContact: samba-maintainers@SuSE.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 On RC2, I tried to add a remote Samba printer using Yast2 and CUPS, but it always failed with the error 'lpadmin: Bad device-uri scheme "smb". The remote printer is served by a Seagate GoFlex Home Samba Server. There is no problem adding and using the same SMB printer from openSUSE 12.3 (and Win/XP) clients. I found this problem and a workaround discussed on the French and English forums. Here's a post from the English forum summarizing the problem and workaround: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/pre-release-beta/... As this post puts it, "For some reason samba-client doesn't create the symbolic link to smbspool in /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb." The workaround is to create the symlink manually. No one else seems to have reported this problem; but, I thought you'd want to know. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try to add a remote Samba printer using Yast2's "Add a New Printer Configuration" 1. Enter printer information 2. Click [OK] button Actual Results: Printer is not added. Error: lpadmin: Bad device-uri scheme "smb" Expected Results: Printer added successfully Not sure if the problem is related to the type or version of the SMB printer server. IIRC, the Seagate GoFlex Home is running Samba version 3.0??, but not I'm not certain. Sorry, I don't have access to the GoFlex now, to verify the version number. As soon as I have access, I'll post the full version number. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
