Brief:
smbclient does not create even empty /etc/samba/smb.conf with it's install. But /usr/bin/smbspool requires at least empty /etc/samba/smb.conf to print. This makes printing to Windows printers broken for default install. Full: I was trying to set up printing to Windows server and was getting this error: PID 4865 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/smb) stopped with status 1! I found out that this error was produced by /usr/bin/smbspool. It requires at least empty config to run. I created empty /etc/samba/smb.conf and printing started to work. Request: I think it is very easy step for an installer to create empty smb.conf if there is no one. Of course, this is easy step for human also, but it requires googling, grepping logs etc.. Anyway, why do not let installer do this and make life easier? Thanks. |

I think this can be solved by moving smb.conf from samba to smbclient package.
