Samba config
Does it work if you set: printing = cups ? No. It only works if I set printing = cups AND name section with my printer's name not 'printers'. I.e [Deskjet_D4100_series]. Sorry, have you also set 'printcap name = cups' ? No, should I? It works without this parameter if I set section name to printer's name. What does this parameter mean? 'printcap name = cups' tells samba to ask cups for the list of printers. Making 'printcap name = cups' and uncommenting 'printing = cups' made my printer available through Samba. It was not available before. Perhaps those options should be added to config by default. Almost everyone use cups for printing. I should think so. If Fedora uses CUPS by default, which I think it does, then certainly it should configure Samba to use CUPS by default. printcap name = cups does not work. Samba does not show any printers. In latest version (3.0.28-0.fc8) printer sharing does work at all. Directly specified printer is visible but not printable. I have printable = yes option. Created attachment 300371 [details]
Files and terminal session that demonstrate the problem
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
