[cups.general] SAMBA / CUPS

[Konrad Azzopardi]

Dear all,

I am new to CUPS. I found an installation of CUPS with SAMBA that we
will deploy soon but there are a couple of problems I need to solve
beforehand and your help would be really appreciated.

I have RedHat 5.1 installation with the following :

CUPS 1.3.7 and SAMBA 3.0.25b

My smb.conf relevant details looks like this :

[global]

## GLOBAL SETTINGS
       netbios name = TASSIN
       server string = Samba Print Server
       workgroup = DOM NAME
       security = domain
       encrypt passwords = yes
       password server = P  Z

## WINBIND SETTINGS
       idmap uid = 10000-20000
       idmap gid = 10000-20000
       winbind separator = /

## LOG SETTINGS
       log level = 2
       log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
       max log size = 1000

## NETWORK SETTINGS
       wins server = X , Y
       name resolve order = hosts wins
       interfaces = Z
       smb ports = 139
       socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
       hosts allow = 10. 127. 172. 193. 192.
       include = /etc/samba/jessie.conf
       include = /etc/samba/janey.conf

## DOMAIN SETTINGS
       domain master = no
       local master = no
       preferred master = no
       os level = 0

## PRINTER SETTINGS
       load printers = yes
       printing = cups
       printcap name = cups
       cups options = raw

[printers]
       comment = All printers
       path = /var/spool/samba
       browseable = no
       public = yes
       guest ok = yes
       writable = yes
       printable = yes
       use client driver = no
       printer admin = filled in properly

[print$]
       comment = Printer drivers
       path = /var/lib/samba/printers
       browseable = yes
       guest ok = no
       read only = yes
       write list = filled in properly
       create mask = 0664
       directory mask = 0775


We use windows clients and I am trying to set all printers in duplex
mode. My problem is that I do it with a correct domain user but the
setting sometimes is kept and sometimes is lost after sometime. Can
someone tell me where these settings are stored ?

Many thanks
Konrad
