Description of problem: 1. Windows ADS -------------- a) Install a Windows Active Directory Server (Windows 2012 here) b) Create a printer on the Windows 2012 server (e.g. Virtual PDF Printer with FreePDF) c) Share the printer over the network 2. Install Fedora ----------------- a) Install a Fedora distribution b) Install samba, samba-krb5-printing and cups c) Join the machine to AD (net ads join) d) Setup winbind with authconfig e) Configure CUPS * Stop cups with: systemctl stop cups.service; systemctl stop cups.socket; \ systemctl stop cups.path * Edit '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' and change 'DefaultAuthType Basic' to 'DefaultAuthType Negotiate' Make sure you have: 'Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock' * Start cups again with 'systemctl start cups.service' * Start system-printer-config as root * Click on 'Add' to add a printer - Select 'Windows Printer via SAMBA' - Add the smb url: win-dc02.earth.milkyway.site/FreePDF - Make sure in Authentication that 'Prompt user if authentication is requried' is selected * Click on "Verify" Expected result: There should be a pop up asking for credentials to authenticate against Windows.
Instead of using Windows, you can use a Samba AD. Either install rawhide (f27) or use the packages from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/asn/samba_ad_dc/ You need to install the package 'samba-dc' and then provision the DC with samba-tool. This is described here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_an_Active_Directory_Domain_Controller If it is up and working, create a printer: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Virtual_PDF_Printer
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
