Gang, I have a problem that has been perplexing me for days. I have a machine serving as a print server so I can print from my laptop over my WIFI network. Lately a guy who works here bought his own laptop running XP so I figured I'd set up Samba so he could print as well. Im using CUPS and can print from Linux perfectly.
When I try to install the printer I can't find it by browsing. Probably because of browseable = no in my smb.conf. However if I type in \\server\printer XP finds the printer and installs it. Then I try to print, and judging by the activity on the wireless NIC it tries over and over to send it to the printer unsuccessfully. XP shows an access denied error as well. Relevant config is below. Thanks! number5 root # cat /etc/printcap # This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the # /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file # will be lost. Canon_i350|i350:rm=number5:rp=Canon_i350: number5 root # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] load printers = yes printing = cups printcap name = cups workgroup = WORKGROUP guest account = smbguest encrypt passwords = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no public = yes guest ok = yes writeable = no printable = yes printer admin = root, @ntadmins Im also clueless about Samba security, if anyone has a tip or two. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
