#1

Cant Print opensuse 11.4 reset cups, deleted all but the lat few entries in the cups error log, AppArmor is set to complain on
smbd & nmdb, deleted previous Yast Printer profiles that didnt work, restarted smb & nmb, created Yast Printer profiles. Print
via Network>connection wizard>
Print via Print Server Machine>Windows (R) or Samba (SMB/CIFS)>set the Server (NetBios Host Name) to the servers IP address on the
Lan, added the share printer name, workgroup name, Workgroup User Name & Password, added the HP Printer brand, clicked ok to move
forward and set the driver Made 2 profiles for hpcups & hpijs, tried to print a test page.

Unable to execute /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb: insecure file permissions (0104750)
Stopping job because the sheduler could not execute the backend.

checked forum, one entry said to check the output of samba-krb-printing

went to terminal and ran

ls -l /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jul 7 20:19 /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb -> /usr/bin/get_printing_ticket

entry said remove samba-krb-printing

Did that, went back to

Yast Printers set up the profiles again, this time without the Workgroup User Name & Password, and again made 1 for each driver.

Checked Terminal

ls -l /usr/lib/cups/backend/smbd

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jul 7 20:31 /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb -> /usr/bin/smbspool

Went to printers, tried to print test pages …

PID 8220 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups) crashed on signal 6!

Am I getting closer or further away from fixing this???

#2

Are you trying to print from this machine, across the network, to a print server attached to some networking device (e.g. a router or a windows computer)?

#3

correct. I am trying to print from an opensuse 11.4 POS workstation across the network to a HP LaserJet 1020 connected by USB to a server running MShyte server 2003. The server has been set to allow anyone to print through that device. With or without logging in.

#4

The HP laserjet 1020 requires install of hplip and hplip-hpijs – and also the “proprietary plugin”

Check that you have these two lines in the [global] stanza of smb.conf:

  • printing = cups
  • printcap name = cups

Configure the printer connection in your web browser on address http://localhost:631

See steps at bottom of this page: Printer Sharing: Windows Print Server for Suse/openSUSE Linux Clients [Samba and LPD] (look for paragraph at the end titled “Setting up a Linux client using Samba’s SMB/CIFS Protocol”)

closer or further away?

#6

foo2zjs and hplip – conflict – not joy
foo2zjs hotplug – not joy 11.4

closer or further away?

further away.

uninstall foo2zjs

get samba browsing to work

#7

post smb.conf

#8

1 - don’t know how to uninstall foo2zjs

deleted printer profile.

smb.conf below

smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented

version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the

samba-doc package is installed.

China Jobs;

The parameter “security = domain” should only be used on a Samba3 machine
joined to an NT or Samba3 Domain. An MS2003 server is AD not NT. “security =
ADS” is normally used for members of an AD domain and AFAIK required for the
AD environment. Were you successfully able to join the AD?

Just to print you should not need to join the domain. Just delete
the "security = " parameter from /etc/samba/smb.conf and it will revert
to “security = USER”. The use of the “DOMAIN” security setting leads to
unpredictable results. Usually bad.

See the writeup on the security parameter here:
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html

Unless you are required to authenticate on the ADs to print, I would also try
the simpler URI:


smb://static_ip_address/<printer share name>

This works on other MS machines but I’m not sure about ADs. (Your Accounting
Department may have a different idea, requiring you to authenticate.) :wink:

123 jobs…I am about to backup what files I desperately need, stick in the qparted cd, reboot, format all the ext4 drives & the swap file, then clean install 11.4
