How to Recognize If cupsaddsmb Completed Successfully
You
must
always check if the utility completed
successfully in all fields. You need at minimum these three messages
among the output:
-
Printer Driver infotec_2105 successfully
installed.
# (for the W32X86 == Windows NT/200x/XP
architecture).
-
Printer Driver infotec_2105 successfully
installed.
# (for the WIN40 == Windows 9x/Me
architecture).
-
Successfully set [printerXPZ] to driver
[printerXYZ].
These messages are probably not easily recognized in the general
output. If you run
cupsaddsmb
with the -a
parameter (which tries to prepare
all
active CUPS
printer drivers for download), you might miss if individual printer
drivers had problems installing properly. A redirection of the
output will help you analyze the results in retrospective.
If you get:
SetPrinter call failed!
result was WERR_ACCESS_DENIED
it means that you might have set
use client driver = yes for this printer.
Setting it to “no” will solve the problem. Refer to the smb.conf man page for explanation of
the
use client driver
.
