Also, check your samba config. I've included the relevant print setup from /etc/samba/smb.conf below:
19:09 nirvana:~> noc /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] use sendfile = No
This is the upstream default setting (uds).
<snip> printcap name = cups
This is the explicit default setting with any SUSE product since (at least) 2005-06-16 12:47:22
load printers = yes
uds too.
printing = cups
Also since 2005-06-16 12:47:22
show add printer wizard = no disable spoolss = yes
Well, this sounds like you got hit by the existing printer spooler bugs.
<snip> smb ports = 139 hosts allow = 192.168.6. 127. # subnet + don't forget localhost <snip> name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast # change as required wins support = yes <snip> [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba # make sure permissions are 0777
Why not using /var/tmp?
browseable = no guest ok = yes public = yes writable = no printable = yes
KISS and therefore use only one as in the default smb.conf. Makes your config file easier to read.
create mode = 0700 use client driver = yes [print$] path = /var/lib/samba/drivers browseable = yes write list = @adm root
Why not using the dfault ntadmin group? adm might be more generic I guess.
guest ok = yes inherit permissions = yes
What's the advantage of using "inherit permissions" at this point? Well, I also can't see a potential damage. Maybe the same as with the adm group? Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
