A new Samba server (Version 3) has been setup with a brand new colour laser printer. The printer is
attached to the parallel port and is setup using CUPS. What share must you setup in your smb.conf
file to allow client computers to download the new drivers?
A.
[printers]
B.
[print$]
C.
[printer$]
D.
[cups$]
A. is the correct asnwer
Add the [printers] section to your smb.conf
[printers]
path = /var/spool/samba/
printable = yes
printing = CUPS|LPRNG|…
Check for Samba CUPS support (only necessary, if “printing = CUPS”)
# smbd -b | grep CUPS
HAVE_CUPS_CUPS_H
HAVE_CUPS_LANGUAGE_H
HAVE_CUPS
HAVE_LIBCUPS
If you don’t get any output, make sure that the CUPS header files and libraries are installed and recompile Samba with –with-cups
