I purchased the Samba 3.0 book and it has gotten me pretty far but I finally had to go to the mailing list for this problem.
Here is the issue, I am running Debian (woody) with samba 3.0.1-2 and cupsys 1.1.14-5 I have also installed cupsys-bsd cupsys-client and smbclient foomatic-bin and as2ps follwing this http://excess.org/docs/linux_windows_printing.html advice. Samba is running in Domain mode and I can log on to the network and connect to file shares just fine. Here is the issue: My printer will show up if in my xp box if I browse the entire network, but if I double click it or right click on it, I get "Operation could not be completed. access denied". I have managed to connect to this printer by adding a local printer in XP and choosing the create port option. But if I choose network option it asks me for a user name and password and I get access denied. I have raw printing running and when I create the port it seems to be working fine but for some reason I cannot instlal it like a network printer on a NT box. Here the parts of my smb.conf file: ### 1.4 - Printing ### printing = cups printcap name = cups load printers = yes # If you want to automatically load your printer list rather # than setting them up individually then you'll need this. show add printer wizard = yes [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = yes path = /home/spooler printable = yes public = yes writable = no guest ok = no printer admin = jared, @IT create mode = 0700 use client driver = yes print command = lpr -r -oraw -P%p %s [print$] # Some Windows clients will look for this share to hold # printer drivers. comment = Printer Drivers path = /home/drivers browseable = yes read only = yes guest ok = yes read only = yes write list = jared, @administrators I log in as jared for testing purposes. I have the print$ share up with all the proper directories but I do not have any drivers installed, this is becuase when I try to do it through XP I get "Operation could not be completed. access denied". Thanks for any insight and if you want my entire smb.conf let me know. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
