Hm, cups still has
%triggerin -- samba-client
ln -sf ../../../bin/smbspool %{cups_serverbin}/backend/smb || :
exit 0
So.... we have /usr/libexec/samba/cups_backend_smb which is pointing to the right place via alternatives. But which isn't used. And the one which *does* get used is still pointing unconditionally to plain smbspool.
In order to fix printing with Kerberos tickets using SMB (bug #1273999) I've introduced a new helper binary. The helper binary is called smb_krb5_wrapper and will make sure we switch to the user who issues the print job to get access to the Kerberos credentials cache. For this I packaged smb_krb5_wrapper in a new package called samba-krb5-printing. samba-client still packages smbspool, but it will use update-alternatives to create a symlink: /usr/bin/cups_backend_smb which will point to /usr/bin/smbspool. If the user installs samba-krb5-printing, the updates-alternatives binary will update /usr/bin/cups_backend_smb and point to the wrapper /usr/bin/smb_krb5_wrapper. This way all the cups package has to do is to create a symlink from /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb and point to /usr/bin/cups_backend_smb. samba-krb5-printing requires that samba-client is pre-installed. This way the control to /usr/bin/cups_backend_smb is kept on the Samba side and we will not require changes to cups in the future. I am currently testing fixed package in RHEL, if it works, I will push it into Fedora rawhide. cups-2.1.4-1.fc24 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 24. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-385435e4ca cups-2.1.4-1.fc24 has been pushed to the Fedora 24 testing repository.
