My Samba printer share is behaving strangely, it mayu seem quite logical to someone else, but it's like voodoo to me. I have one user fully setup in my smbpasswd file, joecool for example, and another one in the smbpasswd but I haven't ran that change passwd tool in it yet so that user can't login to any shares yet. I have two Win2k computers that both have the joecool account, same password and everything. On one computer (a desktop), i am able to login to my home directory and install the printer 'P1100' as a network printer, and I can print too, so that's great. But on my other win2k computer (a laptop) I can't install the network 'P1100' printer but I can login to my home directory. Same user, same rights on both machines, but completely different results. The I keep getting access denied on the laptop while trying to install the printer. Anyone have a clue? But what I am really trying to do is allow any user, a guest user, to see and use the network printer. I have the printer section of my smb.conf setup with 'yes' to everything and even added the 'public = yes' to it, but no luck. I am of course restarting Samba after any changes to the smb.conf. Here is the printer section of my config: [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = yes # Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print public = yes guest ok = yes writable = yes printable = yes And just to make things easy, I have the 'guest account' option in the [general] section set to joecool, so it is a valid user. Maybe that is part of the problem. Any ideas?
