I've spent something like 10 hours now (debugging from 1000 miles away), and the other party has gone to bed. I just now got my printers to rename. This works for renaming the printer (where the heck is the name stored??) (var is on an different file system, so my path is different) symbolic links screw things up, by the way. [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP printing = cups printcap name = cups
[printers] comment = All Printers browseable = yes # path = /var/spool/samba path = /pub/root/var/spool printable = yes printer admin = @lpadmin guest ok = yes ; read only = yes create mask = 0700 valid users = someuser [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path =/pub/root/var/lib/samba/printers #path = /var/lib/samba/printers browseable = yes guest ok = no # read only = no write list = root I just did an apt-get update, and can confirm I am on the latest samba/cups with 12.04.1. I used the 64bit server install CD. This bug still exists. This is bull. I could be developing open source, instead, I'm trying to get samba to print. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967410 Title: Windows clients cannot connect to shared printers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/samba/+bug/967410/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
