Description greg long 2012-10-06 00:28:35 UTC 
creating printers using command
This works
lpadmin -p A2B4C6D8E012345 -E -v ipp://10.0.1.61/printer

This runs but i never see the printer or an error
lpadmin -p A2B4C6D8E012345 -E -v ipp://10.0.1.61/printer

when i check printers via command
rpcclient agentdc -U admin -c 'enumprinters'

It does not show the added printer also on windows boxes it never shows up. Any printer with less than 16 characters is fine

Version 4.1.0pre1-GIT-1bf209d

I just compiled using the newest Version 4.1.0pre1-GIT-9fc42da and I do not see the problem.

I believe our original build had samba 3 rpms installed and these have interfered with our build

If you create a printer in cups you need to wait for smbd to reload the cups printers list. This normally done every 12.5 minutes.

You can force a reload with:

smbcontrol smbd reload-printers

reloading samba didnt help in my case, but like i said some samba 3 installs were done previously and I am sure they had something to do with my issues. Load a clean build and no problems .. thanks
