Re: [Samba] Procedure for installing Windows drivers on Samba with CUPS

[Tim Vangehugten]

@Gerry, which version are you using?
Does printing works in 4.0.4?

Hi,

Just an update:

Tried today samba 4.0.6, printing works there with the automatic driver
install.

Best regards

I tried again after pulling 4.0.6 and it still does not install the cups drivers:

I opened a new bug on this issue because it may not be the same as the Win7 printing issue bug:

Hi
Are you sure? Its as you were here. No change. After the drivers are
seemingly copied correctly to the print$ share, windows gives up and
issues a 'Access is denied' error, as before.

The last time it worked following the instructions which are now on the
wiki was in 4.0.0

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_a_printer_share
Are those instructions still valid?

[Ricky Nance]

Those instructions should still work for XP, but its quite a bit different
for windows 7, I need to do a wiki page on it, and will when I get some
spare time, but not sure when that will be.

Thanks Ricky
I just tried it with a xp client. The same error: Access is denied. Is
there anything trivial missing from those wiki notes which prevent
printing working with 4.0.6?

@steve yes I am sure as I am able to print now in my test-network :)

These are the steps I have done on a freshly installed ubuntu 12.04 server:

1: Downloaded and extracted samba-4.0.6.tar.gz
2: Patched dns_crypto.c in /source4/dns_server/
with 0001-Fix-internal-DNS-dyn.-update-seen-as-TSIG-error-with.patch
3: Did provision with samba internal dns backend and downloaded an
initscript
4: Did a "krb5_newrealm SAMBA.MY.DOMAIN"
5: mkdir /var/spool/samba and /usr/local/samba/var/print
6: chmod 1777 /var/spool/samba and /usr/local/samba/var/print
7: added the following to my smb.conf in /usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf:

[global]
...
printcap name = cups
printing = cups

[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /usr/local/samba/var/print
read only = no

[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = yes
printable = yes
read only = no
path = /var/spool/samba

8: installed and configured cups
9: started samba
10: added the windows drivers to the samba share like Adam Nielsen said
11: I could print


That's about it for printing, the patch I did was for my samba4-failover
server if you don't patch it it errors on dns updates...
Hope this helps.

Best regards
