I am trying to configure my print-server to automatically serve printers and drivers for users in our domain.I'm running a CUPS print server through my CentOS7 virtual machine. I installed samba and configured the smb.conf to look like this
[global]
workgroup = myGroup
security = user
realm = myDomain
passdb backend = tdbsam
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
cups options = raw
username map = /etc/samba/user.map
browsable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
rpc_server:spoolss = external
rpc_daemon:spoolssd = fork
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S, %D%w%S
browseable = No
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
# path = /var/tmp
path = /var/spool/samba
guest ok = Yes
printable = yes
create mask = 0600
browseable = no
public = yes
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /srv/samba/printer_drivers/
browsable = yes
read only = no
write list = @printadmin root, @Domain Admins
guest ok = yes
force group = @printadmin
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
Next I setup a GPO to serve the printers but that did not seem to do anything. I have searched everywhere on the web but can't find a solution for why it is not working.
I also tried setting it up through print management on windows 10 where I add the print-server but it will not allow me to add a printer as it says The Network Printer Installation Wizard cannot be launced. Make sure that the print spooler service on the server is running and available to client computers.
Any assistance is much appreciated.
