[NTLUG:Discuss] Samba Printer Problems

[Jason Ferguson]

This is pretty weird... smdb and nmbd are running as root. However, the
log.smbd file has two odd entries in it:


[2002/03/24 08:41:31, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_queue_get(784)
  Unable to get jobs for ipp://localhost/printers/lexmark -
client-error-not-found
[2002/03/24 08:41:38, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(589)
  leela (192.168.1.101) Can't change directory to /var/spool/cups/tmp
(Permission denied)

I also changed an entry in smb.conf:

[lexmark]
...
 path = /var/spool/cups/tmp
...

Here's one more oddity: in Win98, TWO entries for the printer show up,
one marked Lexmark and one marked "Lexmark Z52". If anyone can help me
fix that one, I'd appreciate it.
