Description of problem: After a upgrade from Fedora 8 to Fedora 10 on my wife's PC printing from another PC (Windows or Linux) through samba does not work anymore. I have fixed the problem by changing the sequence of the boot process to start samba after cups is being started. (basically I swapped the two script names: cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/ [root@steffi rc5.d]# ls -al *smb* *cups* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 9. Mär 12:36 S91smb -> ../init.d/smb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 6. Mär 06:53 S98cups -> ../init.d/cups mv S98cups S91cups mv S91smb S98smb After a restart printing works again - of course also restarting samba after cups also fixed the issue (though temporary only) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 10 is fully updated and on current status: cups-1.3.9-8.fc10.i386 samba-3.2.8-0.27.fc10.i386 How reproducible: Simply run system-config-printer and try to share the printer. Even if you previously shared the printer through system-config-printer it will show the printer as: Steps to Reproduce: 1. share a printer in system-config-printer / also enable in server settings 2. restart the server (with cups + smb enabled (without swapping of links) 3. start system-config-printer again - look at properties of one printer 4. within policies you'll find the printer shows 'Not published - see server settings' Actual results: Printing from external print client not possible Expected results: Printing through samba should work Additional info:
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '10'. 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 10'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 10 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
Just a quick check - the rc scripts now look like this on f12: # ls -al /etc/rc5.d/{*smb*,*cups*} lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 14 2009-11-19 11:35 /etc/rc5.d/S25cups -> ../init.d/cups lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 2009-11-19 11:35 /etc/rc5.d/S91smb -> ../init.d/smb Seems fixed there.
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 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.
