cups && smb share

hi all,

im trying to share my printer (connected to archlinux) with my notebook (windows7). so far i am able to see my archbox in my network through windows but i can't see the printer.

here is my smb.conf

[global]
workgroup=WORKGROUP
server string=Arch Linux Print Server
security=user
load printers=yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
dns proxy = no

[printers]
    comment=All Printers
    path=/var/spool/samba
    browseable=yes
    # to allow user 'guest account' to print.
    guest ok=no
    writable=no
    printable=yes
    create mode=0700
    write list=@adm root

any ideas

I've had the exact same problem running Samba 3.4.3 and Windows 7 64bit. My smb.conf is very similar to yours so the smb.conf really isn't worth posting. I did find a couple bugs on Samba's bugzilla.

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6883

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6888

I really hope this gets fixed soon, because I'm unable to print. I could downgrade, I suppose, but there are so many dependancies on heimdal that downgrading that package will probably break something worse. What I don't understand is why 3.3.8 works and 3.4.3 doesn't.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Ok to resurrect an old thread. Here is that patch I've been waiting for for the 3.4 series of samba that allows windows 7 64 bit to print to a samba printer share that is on a 32bit computer. (not sure if the 64bit version of samba works or not). I've used this PKGBUILD and samba patch to successfully compile with the 3.4.5 version. Here you go:

The patch is too big to attach but you can get the patch from this samba link
