Description Dieter Jurzitza 2010-02-12 15:12:17 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.2.0) Gecko/20100115 SUSE/3.6.0-1.2 Firefox/3.6

When installing cups from the above mentioned location for openSUSE 11.0, SMB - printers turn disfunctional. Downgrading to the old version of cups fixes the problem. The message when attempting print even a testpage on any SMB-printer is "cannot connect to cupsd".
The problem started with the cups-release from January, 28th, 2010.

If I should debug anything, please let me know.
Take care


Dieter Jurzitza

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

3.this will fail
Actual Results:  
see comment

Expected Results:  
a printout :-)

Comment 1 Johannes Meixner 2010-02-16 08:26:25 UTC

Many Thanks for testing our current CUPS 1.4.2
development package and for your bug report!

See
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575544#c2

I assume you have the cupsd re-started on your system
after you did the CUPS version upgrade.

I have no idea wherefrom the error "cannot connect to cupsd"
comes (there is no "cannot connect" in the CUPS 1.4.2 sources)
and I don't know what it actually means - i.e. which piece of
software "cannot connect to cupsd" and how did this piece
of software try to "connect to cupsd".
What results "lpstat -r" and "lpstat -H"?
Can you provide a command line call which results the
"cannot connect to cupsd" error message?

Does printing to other kind of queues (i.e. non-SMB queues) work?

Comment #0 contains "x86_64" but the bug's "Platform" is "Other".
Is the system where the issue happens (not the system from where
you submitted the bug report) a 64-bit x86_64 system or
which "other" kind of system is it actually?

Comment 2 Johannes Meixner 2010-02-26 15:21:20 UTC

No response.

Because comment #0 contains "x86_64"
it is probably a duplicate of bug #575544
("adapt other printing packages to work with CUPS 1.4 on x86_64")

In this case probably samba-client which provides on x86_64 the link
  /usr/lib64/cups/backend/smb -> /usr/bin/smbspool
which should be changed to be also on x86_64
  /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb -> /usr/bin/smbspool
