I've got Samba 1/2 working, Please help with Printing

[bobcal2000]

I have openSUSe v11.1 Kernel 2.6.27.29.01 running Samba v3.2.7-11 and CUPS v1.3.9 as a VMware Workstation 6.5.3 Host. Both VMware Guests and other Windows PCs can see both see and use my Samba file shares.

Printing is another story:
From the Windows VMware Guests and other Windows PCs DOS prompts "NET VIEW \\IP address" I see both the file share and the printer. From add new printer browsing will not see the printer, but it does see the server. Manually entering the printer "\\ip address\hpofficejetk80xi" creates the printer but it doesn't work.

Print jobs just disappear. Not in the guest Windows queue of the CUPS queue.

Here is my smb.conf file.

[global]
workgroup = VMWWG
name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 33
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printcap cache time = 750
cups options = raw
disable spoolss = Yes
show add printer wizard = No
map to guest = Bad User
include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$
domain logons = No
domain master = No
null password = yes
passdb backend = smbpasswd
security = share
wins support = Yes

[sharedfiles]
comment = Files on VMware Host
inherit acls = Yes
path = /files/
read only = No

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
use client driver = Yes
create mask = 0600
browseable = Yes

Have you checked here: Linux HOWTOs and Tutorials: Suse Linux 10.0, 10.1 openSUSE 10.2, 10.3, 11.0, 11.1

That document seemed great. I had several things in both my CUPSd.conf and smb.conf that didn't match. Same thing is wrong, but here is my new configs.

Have you installed the printer drivers on the clients?
See also:
http://opensuse.swerdna.org/susesambaprint_1.html
For more help you might try just:
http://opensuse.swerdna.org/index.html
which will give you a number of Swerdna's HowTos.

If you are using IPP printing then Samba does not come into play. Just in
case, try disabling firewalls on both opensuse and the client for testing.
Your firewall settings may be the cause of problems and you will need to
adjust their settings

Try adding this line into [global]:

use client driver = yes

Why did you put in this line?

 disable spoolss = Yes

If there was no particular reason, I'd take it out.

and

Did you intend to set the openSUSE server as a "wins server" or is the network a standard SOHO LAN / workgroup arrangement? If you didn't intend for a wins server, then you should take out this line:

wins support = yes

Finally, there are three or four sorts of printer server configurations. Are you trying to follow any particular protocol?

[bobcal2000]

What is the best method of resolution? I don't like having things running, like a wins server. I'd rather use a LMLosts file, where do I put them on Linux and Windows? How do I know if WINS is running and permanently stop it?

[bobcal2000]

As far as "disable spoolss = Yes" I have used three different docs to get this to do what I want, so it was one of them. I'll take it out.. I have "use client driver = yes"

What about "path = /var/tmp" is this correct? I have seen /var/samba" as a path here.

Thanks for the tips

They're all good. Broadcast name resolution is the win98/me/2000/xp standard. To use a Linux Preferred Local Master Browser with Broadcast name resolution is very good

See this tutorial for lmhosts: HowTo Configure Samba openSUSE Windows Network Browsing on a SOHO LAN

It's running if you put this line in the [global] stanza:

wins support = yes

To stop it? Remove the line and restart the Samba daemons.

OK

What about "path = /var/tmp" is this correct? I have seen /var/samba" as a path here

/var/tmp exists in openSUSE
/var/samba doesn't exist

Thanks for the tips

You're welcome.

[bobcal2000]

I created "/var/samba" and set the permitions like I read in one of the docs I have.

Of the three or four CUPS protocols, I want to run the RUNALLTIME protocol, the one that works all the time. One I can follow a document and set it up. The file sharing went so smoothly, that is why printing is so much trouble. Don't take this wrong, I appreciate everyone's input. Of the three docs, one book and the poeple on this thread, I have been told to add, more, or remove the same commands. For the file sharing I used one doc Samba and Suse: HowTo Set up on openSUSE. It was step-by-step and it worked, but it didn't cover printing.

If you know the CUPS protocols pick one for me that will work on openSUSE Host; Windows VMware guests and other Windows PCs that you have a HowTo document for that works. The one the first gentleman sent me didn't work.

Again as always
Thanks!
