[Samba] Sharing Printer Stop Working: error writing spool : NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

[David Kuntadi]

Previously I have a working print server using samba with below setting:

[global]
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
security = share
[printers]
browseable = yes
printable = yes
public = yes
create mode = 0700
guest only = yes
use client driver = yes
guest account = smbprint
path = /home/smbprint


I could print both from linux and windows XP.

But recently (Samba 3.0.22), it stopped working, both linux and
windows XP. The message in the linux client computer is:

Ready: /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed

When I set the log to debug level, I could see the actual error is:
error writing spool : NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

I have checked that the smbprint system user still exist:
/usr/sbin/adduser --system --disabled-password smbprint

May I know how to solve this issue other than to downgrade samba?

Regards
David

Edit,

Iam not sure what cause the print server to stop working as samba has
NEVER been upgraded.

Looks like other upgrade has caused this problem but still not sure
what upgrade.

This looks like a cups problem to me. Investigate this cups error.

Thank you very much.
It is confirmed when I downgrade cupsys it work again. As I do not
know how to troubleshoot cupsys, I keep old version of cupsys.

Thanks,
