Clustered Samba Printing
in [Samba]

From: christoph.beyer on 16 Mar 2010 05:10 Hi Bill, I am using clustered samba printing for a couple of years and it works fine, this is my setup: 3 sun server with sun cluster, let's call them samba1 samba2 and samba3 are individually joined to the windows domain using the hostnames samba1/2/3. Through the sun cluster they use together a shared address called 'printserver' with the 'bind interface only' option set to the shared hostname I have a loadbalanced samba setup for printing. To make sure all server use the same config I have 'ntforms.tdb', 'printers.tdb' and 'ntdrivers.tdb' on a shared global storage, linked via symlink into the three local samba/var/locks dirs. The 'samba printcap' is shared globally as well as the 'drivers' dir of cause. One thing about this construction is that samba1/2/3 still and always publish the printers over ther local ip adress though they will not accept a connection over these adresses. You need a firewall to get rid of this or unconfigure those printer in the AD. For some reason I have a cron restart running every morning, this is nice to get rid of old processes and connections and to have a fresh start from the ground for all three nodes... Hope this helps, don't hesitate to write me e-mail if you have further questions, well and maybe I got it all wrong and there is a much more clever idea about clustered printing, love to hear something about it then ;) cheers christoph On Mon, 15 Mar 2010, Bill Morris wrote: > Hi Folks, > > I'm part of a Novell department that is working on > moving from Novell NDPS printing to Samba printing. > > I have been told that the Samba environment will > have to be clustered to assure the same level of > redundancy for printing. > > Does anyone have any pointers?
