[Samba] samba3 and cups printserver

[awesome-dave1 at juno.com ()]

Hello,
I've got an rh9 box which i am using for printing. I've got cups
configured and my printer is working fine. Originally, i intended to use
samba 2.2.x for printing, but then i saw that 3.0 was out so i installed
it's rpm instead. My first of many questions, for printing to work
correctly, samba and cups, what must be specified in terms of the
printing line in smb.conf, bsd or lpRNG?
Thanks.
Dave.

Neither :-)

~ printing = cups

(and make sure that smbd was compiled with cups support).

~ $ bin/smbd -b | grep -i cups
~ HAVE_CUPS


cheers, jerry

Soirry that's a 3.0ism. I should have paid more
attention to your mail. Just run ldd against smbd
and look for libcups.so

That means you are trying to run a version 2.2.x smbd.

"-b" is one of the cool new (commandline-)options I discovered
shipping with Samba-3.


cups-demo: # smbd --help
Usage: smbd [OPTION...]
[....]
-b, --build-options Print build options
[....]


Cheers,
Kurt

Ooops -- I hit the "Send" button too early....

Another means to know if CUPS support is compiled in is provided by
"ldd" (certainly on Linux platforms); it "lists dynamic dependencies":

cups-demo: # ldd `which smbd` | grep cups
libcups.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcups.so.2 (0x40195000)
