[Samba] Need help getting colour printing features restricted to a specific group
I?ve got a Ricoh multi-function printer/copier that I need to restrict the colour printing functions to only members of the @ColorPrinting group. I?ve two print queues for the Ricoh, one colour, one not. Unfortunately, even users on the B&W queue can change the colour settings on the print dialog in Windows and bypass the restriction and prints in colour. Part of this likely is our CUPS configuration in tandem to our Samba configuration. I?d appreciate it if someone knowledgeable about printing with CUPS over Samba can help get this resolved. Our CUPS configuration can be made available if we need it. Our Samba configuration follows: [global] workgroup = MINERVANETWORKS server string = "" printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 120 load printers = yes cups options = raw map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf log level = 3 printdrivers:10 logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: usershare allow guests = No idmap gid = 10000-20000 idmap uid = 10000-20000 realm = MINERVANETWORKS.COM security = ADS template homedir = /home/%D/%U template shell = /bin/bash usershare max shares = 100 winbind use default domain = yes winbind offline logon = yes winbind refresh tickets = yes add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$ domain logons = No domain master = No passdb backend = smbpasswd wins support = No wins server = 10.5.1.12 10.6.1.55 10.6.1.110 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = yes guest ok = no writable = no printable = yes printer admin = root, @ntadmins, @smbprintadm use client driver = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S, %D%w%S browseable = No read only = No [hp_business_inkjet_2250_ps] comment = HP Business InkJet 2250 path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = Yes guest ok = No writable = No create mode = 0700 print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r use client driver = yes create mask = 0700 read only = Yes [hp_designjet_800_ps] comment = HP DesignJet 800 path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = Yes guest ok = No writable = No create mode = 0700 print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r use client driver = yes create mask = 0700 read only = Yes [hp_laserjet_2100] comment = HP LaserJet 2100 path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = Yes guest ok = No writable = No create mode = 0700 print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r use client driver = yes create mask = 0700 read only = Yes [hp_laserjet_4050_series_ps] comment = HP LaserJet 4050 path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = Yes guest ok = No writable = No create mode = 0700 print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r use client driver = yes create mask = 0700 read only = Yes [ricoh_aficio_mp_c4500] comment = RICOH Aficio MP C4500 path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = Yes guest ok = Yes writable = No create mode = 0700 print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o %s -r use client driver = yes create mask = 0700 read only = Yes printer admin = @"Domain Admins" [ricoh_aficio_mp_c4500_color] comment = RICOH Aficio MP C4500 Color path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = Yes guest ok = No writable = No create mode = 0700 print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r use client driver = yes create mask = 0700 read only = Yes printer admin = @"Domain Admins" read list = @ColorPrinter [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @"Domain Admins", root, @smbprintadm browsable = yes guest ok = yes browseable = yes [scans] browseable = Yes comment = Public scans directory for the RICOH guest ok = Yes inherit acls = Yes path = /srv/samba/Scans/ read only = No -- Gary L.

Possibly Parallel Threads
- Print Jobs stuck in queue
- Using SD-card reader? (Lenovo T61/Richo R5C822 controller/sdhci driver)
- Error when trying to print with point and print installed drivers
- cups printer oddity
- Installation and management of printer drivers from windows 7 clients (printers and faxes missing!)
