Printing from OS X 10.4 TO windows printer on Active Directory
The version of samba included with MacOS 10.4 (Tiger) supports NTLMv2, which is on by default for machines in the Active Directory. Once I upgraded my machine to Tiger, I had set to out print through a shared windows printer on a machine in the active directory. Follow these steps:
- Change the entry "client ntlmv2 = no" to read "yes" in the /etc/smb.conf file
- Open the Printer Setup Utility
- Click Add Printer
- HOLD DOWN the alt/option key and click on the "More Printers..." button
- In the first pull down menu select "Advanced"
- Under Device select "Windows printer via SAMBA"
- Fill in the Device Name (can be anything)
- For device URI: insert something like:
smb://server[:port]/printer
smb://workgroup/server[:port]/printer
smb://username:password@server[:port]/printer
smb://username:password@workgroup/server[:port]/printer - Select the printer model and you're done!!
Unfortunately, CUPS uses smbspool, which does not currently support kerberos. I had to hardcode in the URI a generic printer account that I created locally on the print server for mac clients to use.
If you search on google, you'll find people have written patches for smbspool to allow for kerberos authentication. I didn't try any of them. Instead, I came across this thread which deterred me from even trying. Responses to the thread may yield some clues.
Here is a link to the patch in question
