Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Introduction If you are running a Samba print server for Windows clients, you can upload drivers and preconfigure printers. If a user connects to a printer on the Samba server, Windows automatically downloads the driver and installs it locally. The user does not require local administrator permissions for the installation.

Additionally, Windows applies preconfigured driver settings, such as paper sizes and the number of trays. Before you can set up automatic printer driver download, configure Samba as a print server and share a printer. For details, see. Supported Printer Drivers General Information Many driver are provided in a way that enables you to upload them to your Samba print server: • If the driver is provided in a compressed format, unpack the archive. • Some drivers are require to start a setup application that installs the driver locally on a Windows host. In certain cases, the installer extracts the individual files into the operating system's temporary folder during the setup.

To use the driver files for uploading them to a Samba print Server, start the installer, copy the files from the temporary folder to a new location, and cancel the installation. Ask your printer vendor, if the driver supports uploading to a print server for automatic download by Windows operating systems. Sathyam tamil font typing test. Supported Windows Printer Drivers Samba only supports the printer driver model version 3 that is supported in Windows 2000 to 10 and Windows Server 2000 to 2016. To use package-aware drivers: • Run Samba 4.7 and later • Enable the spoolssd service. For details, see. The driver model version 4, introduced in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, is not supported in Samba. Use version 3 drivers instead.

32-bit and 64-bit Drivers Printer drivers for the 64-bit Windows architecture, you can only upload from a Windows 64-bit operating system. 32-bit drivers you can upload from both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems. To provide driver for both architectures, you must upload 32-bit and 64-bit drivers that uses exactly the same name for both architectures. For example, if you are uploading the 32-bit HP Universal Printing PS driver and the 64-bit HP Universal Printing PS (v5.5.0) driver for Windows, the driver names are different and cannot be used and preconfigured for the same printer. Uploading Only 64-bit Drivers to a Samba Print Server Using the default setting, Samba reports itself as Windows NT x86 architecture.

Thus, 64-bit drivers stored on this print server can only be assigned to a printer if additionally a 32-bit driver with exactly the same name is uploaded. Otherwise, Windows does not display the driver in the list displayed in the printer's properties when assigning the driver.

To provide only 64-bit driver on the Samba print server: • Add the following setting to the [global] section in your smb.conf file: spoolss: architecture = Windows x64 • Reload Samba: # smbcontrol all reload-config Granting the SePrintOperatorPrivilege Privilege Only users and groups having the SePrintOperatorPrivilege privilege granted can upload and preconfigure printer drivers. Universaljnij patch dlya 1s 83 1. You can grant this privilege to any user or group. For example, to grant the privilege to the Domain Admins group, enter: # net rpc rights grant 'SAMDOM Domain Admins' SePrintOperatorPrivilege -U 'SAMDOM administrator' Enter SAMDOM administrator's password: Successfully granted rights. It is recommended to grant the privilege to a group instead of individual accounts. This enables you to add and revoke the privilege by updating the group membership. To list all users and groups having the SePrintOperatorPrivilege privilege granted, enter: # net rpc rights list privileges SePrintOperatorPrivilege -U 'SAMDOM administrator' SePrintOperatorPrivilege: BUILTIN Administrators SAMDOM Domain Admins Setting up the [print$] Share Windows downloads printer drivers from the print$ share of a print server.

This share name is hard-coded in Windows and cannot be changed. To share the /srv/samba/printer_drivers/ folder using the print$ share name: • Add the following section to your smb.conf file: [print$] path = /srv/samba/printer_drivers/ read only = no • Reload Samba: # smbcontrol all reload-config • Create the directory: # mkdir -p /srv/samba/printer_drivers/ • Set the permissions on the share. Users or groups having the SePrintOperatorPrivilege privilege granted must be able to to write to the share. For example, to set write access for the Domain Admins group and read permissions for other users to be able to download the drivers: • Using POSIX access control lists (ACL): # chgrp -R 'SAMDOM Domain Admins' /srv/samba/printer_drivers/ # chmod -R 2775 /srv/samba/printer_drivers/ When setting up a Samba print server on an Active Directory (AD) domain controller (DC), you cannot use POSIX access control lists (ACL). Use the Windows utilities to set extended ACLs.
