Package: cups-client
Version: 1.4.4-7+squeeze1
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze patch

The subject says all. If I try to export all cups printers to samba, cupsaddsmb seems to hang.
Testing this with the -v switch I could see that cupsaddsmb is in an endless loop because at least
one of the operations (As far as I remember correctly - can not check this in the moment) could not
be completed.

Starting without the '-a' switch for each printer separately works for me.

The following wrapper script solves the problem for me:

--------------------8<-------------------------
#!/bin/bash

#set -x
set -u

CupsAddSMB=$( which cupsaddsmb )

# no more changes below this line

AskUserData()
        {
        read -p "Please enter username for acessing cupsaddsmb [default: ${USER}]: " UserName
        if [ -z "${UserName}" ]; then
                UserName=${USER}
        fi
        read -s -e -p "Please enter password for user ${UserName} to access cupsaddsmb: " Passwd
        echo ""
        }

if [ -n "${CupsAddSMB}" ]; then
        CupsPrinters=( $( lpstat -a | awk '{ print $1 }' | sort -u ) )
        if [ ${#CupsPrinters[*]} -gt 0 ]; then
                AskUserData
                for CupsPrinter in ${CupsPrinters[*]}; do
                        ${CupsAddSMB} -U ${UserName}%${Passwd} ${CupsPrinter}
                done
        else
                echo "FATAL: no printers defined in cups, aborted."
                exit -1
        fi
else
        echo "FATAL: cupsaddsmb not found, aborted."
        exit -1
fi

Dear Debian User,

This bug report was submitted against a version of CUPS that is no
longer supported in Debian. Use of our limited, volunteer supported
resources is best served by not keeping around old, hardware-specific
and inactive bugs for longer than desirable, so the report is now being
closed. Sorry for being unable not to address the issue before now.

You may, of course, wish to review the reported problem. It would be
appreciated if any future investigation could be conducted using the
testing or unstable distributions, preferably the latter. If considered
necessary a new bug report, possibly referencing this one, would be
submitted.

Thank you for your report.

Regards,

Brian.
