I have Samba working just fine for sharing files, but I want to use
the computer connected to the Unix box on the windows box.
I have tried both the printers section in the default configuration
file, and the printer section in the "SAMBA Server Step by step
guide", and neither one works for me. This is on Mandrake 6.0.
The whole /usr/doc/samba-2.0.3/DIAGNOSTICS.txt seems to be fine.
The workgroup name is CONSORT; the unix server is serpent, and the
windows box is named recorder.
In the /var/log/samba directory, I get messages like:
[1999/10/03 21:25:09, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:find_domain_master_name_query_fail(362)
find_domain_master_name_query_fail:
Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name CONSORT<1b> for the workgroup CONSORT.
Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup.
although "smbclient -L serpent" says:
[root@serpent samba]# smbclient -L serpent

Windows has the printer marked as "use offline", and when I attempt to
change that, it tells me:
Cannot connect to this network printer. Make sure your network is
working properly, and that the network share you are connected to
exists.
Has anyone had a problem like this and fixed it?
