Using SuSE V8.0 Samba 2.2.7a on a small network I have a Lexmark laser
printer attached to the Linux PC, using Cups 1.1.15.
I was able to print from Linux OK, and some months ago had setup the Win
NT PC to print across the network to the laser. So all was well.
Recently I had a couple of problems with the NT machine (the usual BSOD's
etc) also had a couple of problems with the SuSE PC and still feeling my
way as newbie I took a while to get things going again, that is with the
exception of printing from the NT PC.
I have been back through the documents and run through the 11 tests in
diagnosis.txt and the setup checks out OK between the two machines.
The following is my smb.conf
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = HOME
netbios name = PENGUIN
interfaces = eth0
encrypt passwords = Yes
update encrypted = Yes
map to guest = Bad User
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
preferred master = Yes
wins server = 192.168.0.1
printer admin = @ntadmin, root,john
hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1
printing = cups
veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/
[public]
comment = public
path = /home/public
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
[print$]
comment = printer drivers
path = /etc/samba/drivers
write list = @ntadmin, root,john
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
[printers]
comment = All printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printer admin = root, @ntadmin, john
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
browseable = No
public = yes
writable = no
On the NT Pc (NT$ sp6a) I can use windows explorer, browse to Penguin
(linux pc) see the shares and the printer. When I attempt to add the printer I
can proceed through selecting the port, printer model etc but as soon as I
select finish I get access denied.
I have tried this logged in as administrator, and as a super user..no
difference.
I would appreciate any advice on how to sort this out.
Thanks,
John
