Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost

Dec 9 14:15:26 RBMNAS1421 smbd[5719]: [2008/12/09 14:15:26, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_cache_reload(85)
Dec 9 14:15:26 RBMNAS1421 smbd[5719]: Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost - Connection refused

this smb error is filling my messages log :frowning: and is making finding a real problem very difficult as i get 4 entires every second:P

my smb.conf is here

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.

Date: 2007-05-16

[global]
load printers = no
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
printing = none
workgroup = redbeemedia.net
security = user
max disk size = 4192376
disable spoolss = yes
[cs_design]
comment = IBM Storage share
path = /IBMraid
readonly = no
public = yes
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770

any ideas?

I will not guarantee this will work, but I will suggest the following, if it
does not work it should do no harm. In the global section
of /etc/samba/smb.conf try adding the parameter:


printcap name = /dev/null

To the best of my knowledge “none” is not a valid value for “printing” but
since “printing” has no default value I suspect the results is the same. You
might want to check with the command:


testparm -v /etc/samba/smb.conf

This should return all the values of your parameters, including default
values. If the printcap deal above does not work by itself, try ALSO adding:


printing = BSD

For more information on the use of samba parameters see: man smb.conf.

P. V.
Is this on the test?

Thanks PV , i’ll try this out and see what happens
