Can anyone help with a samba/printer error?
I yum upgraded my firewall/router/printer-server from FC6 to F7.
Very nice. But the printer stopped accepting samba inputs.
I can still see a network shared disk over samba, and I can still
print locally from the machine.
The only clue I have is in /var/log/messages:
[2007/06/22 07:58:34, 0] lib/util_tdb.c:tdb_log(662)
tdb(/var/lib/samba/printing/F380.tdb): tdb_rec_read bad magic
0x626d732f at offset=20976
'google' brought up similar problems from 2005, but the only solution,
deleting the /var/lib/samba/printing/F380.tdb file, did not work for me.
I tried making a new printer using F7, bot on clients and server, but it
didn't help.
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Bill
I had something similar happen when my CentOS server updated from 4.4 to
4.5. Printing on my wife's Windoze box stopped working. Turned out
that one of the CUPS mime configuration files had been overwritten in
the update so CUPS would no longer accept "raw" print files from Samba
clients. Check the mime.* files in /etc/cups and confirm that they are
set correctly for Samba clients. The files are well commented and there
is an entry in each that needs to be uncommented for Samba print clients
to work.
Cheers,
Dave
