Description Christopher Kovach 2005-05-08 00:37:49 UTC

When going to localhost:631 and attempting to add a new printer, the option for "Windows Printing via Samba" isn't included in the drop-down box, nor can it be added through the device URI option.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Direct your web browser to http://localhost:631.
2.  Try to add a new printer.
3.  The option isn't visible in the drop-down box.




Attempting to add the device URI manually (e.g., setting it to
"smb://user:pass@machine/$printer" doesn't work, either, returning a
client_not_possible error.  

The problem is that the ebuild doesn't link /usr/bin/smbspool to
/usr/lib/cups/backend/smb.  Performing "ln -s /usr/bin/smbspool
/usr/lib/cups/backend/smb" and restarting the cupsd service resolves the problem
entirely.

This is a dup of Bug# 90681 and has been resolved.
It's the Samba ebuild that supplies the symlink.
