I've run out of the ideas and I thought I'd ask here regarding a problem I'm having with my samba config file(?) or setup.
I've recently upgraded from samba 2.0.10 to 2.2.7a and can access my shares on my FreeBSD 4.4 machine just fine. I can access file, etc and when I went to print I got the following message "laserjet2200 on Stimpy Access denied, unable to connect". I have the following smb.conf file... [global] workgroup = skookum server string = Samba Server [FreeBSD 2.2.7a] load printers = yes printcap name = /etc/printcap log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 50 encrypt passwords = yes securitry = user socket options = TCP_NODELAY #============================ Share Definitions ============================== [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no writeable = no printable = yes and I can see the printer when I browse. I've noticed I have to use the printcap name option (before I didn't) otherwise I cannot see the printer when browsing the network. My printcap file contains the following entry: HP2200PS|laserjet2200|lp|HP LaserJet 2200 PS:\ :sh:nb:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: And I'm trying to access the printer from both Win2K and WinXP and both give the same results. I can also print from the FreeBSD machine and the permissions on my /var/spool/samba dir are drwxrwxrwxt. I have no idea how to resolve this and there's alot of questions on the web regarding similar problems but few answers. Does anyone know of a solution? And I don't suppose anyone can diagnose my printcap file and explain why my printer will spit out an extra page after every print job from windows in finished (at least it used to) and not when printing from the unix machine.
