I've configured Samba to share files and my printer with Windows clients. File shares are working fine. When I view the printer shares through XP, I can install the driver, but am thereafter unable to access the printer share, and am denied permission to access the printer.
I'm using F7, and have disabled selinux.
Other than changing the netbios name in smb.conf, the file is default.
Here is my printer config:
Code:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
Well, it was just a thought. I haven't done the "print from a Linux Samba share" yet, as my printer is connected to the MS machine. But, I did go far enough in messing with Samba to watch a movie from a DVD share. Of course, in that case, I had to login to Samba to open the shared drive. Wish I could be of some *real* help. Good luck!
Here is my testparm output. Can anyone tell me if there's anything wrong with it?
Code:
root [/var/log/samba] $ testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Loaded services file OK.

slowcoder,
I've just had another thought. I have a second Linux machine that I setup to use the CUPS server on my main one. Here's my CUPS config on that one, if it helps. It was a real nuisance to figure this crap out. It's from http://localhost:631/ on my second machine. Note the URI below:

Description: SamsungM
Location: Location Unknown
Make and Model: Samsung ML-1740 Foomatic/gdi (recommended) on 192.168.0.6
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
