Hi. I moved my printer from parallel port on Win98 to parallel port on
FreeBSD. I can now print from FreeBSD using CUPS (hooray!). But I've had a
lot of trouble even adding a printer share on my Win98 client. The printer
share is browsable. (Though I had to give a password. I thought guest ok
would not require password). But Win98 would always error saying "Could not
add printer." I never figured out why. Anyway, I had the printer driver
installed on Win98 already (printer used to live there). I added a "port"
and changed from parallel to "\\Cadence\epson" within the exising printer
properties. Win98 accepted it. But is it valid? I print from notepad and
see my print job in the printer queue from Win98. But CUPS says it's nowhere
to be found. Nothing. I assume my problem is with Samba, since I can print
from CUPS locally.
What in the world am I doing wrong? I turned up log level to "4", but the
problem isnt apparent to me. My [homes] does work when I map it through
explorer.
My smb.conf:
