Hi
I've spend several hours trying to get samba to play nice. I can get user to
login from windows to their bsd-account, mount CD's etc.. But I can't get the
users to print. I can see the printer and I can install it. But when I click
on the installed printer I get "access denied".
I've tried everything, dublicating every smb.conf I could find. Trying out
every options. None helped. Hope someone here can spot what's wrong.
My setup is a desktop PC running FBSD and a laptop with w2k. These are
connected through a router. The printer is a laserjet and works great on the
FBSD.
And I'm a newbie to samba.
/etc/printcap (using fbsd's native lpr):
laserjet|lp|ps|PS|S|hp|HP LaserJet 1200:\
:sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/psif:
/usr/local/etc/smb.conf: (as it looks right now).
[global]
netbios name = fbsd
server string = "Samba Server"
workgroup = WORKGROUP
security = share
encrypt passwords = yes
wins support = yes
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
use client driver = no
[printers]
comment = All printers
printable = yes
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
read only = yes
writable = no
[laserjet]
comment = LaserJet 1200 on FreeBSD
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = yes
printable = yes
writable = no
hosts allow = 192.168.1.
guest ok = yes
Permission on /var/spool/samba:
drwxrwxrwt 2 root wheel 512 May 9 21:35 samba
I've tried 2 ways of installing the printer on w2k. 1) Clicking on the
printericon in the local shares folder and 2) "add new printer" and selecting
the printer from the network. Both ways gives me "access denied" after
installation.
Help! ;)
