I have got the same problem, only the other way round: Last week I managed to get my standalone print server with samba and cups working, but I can't exactly tell how I did it, so you can help me there :-) This is my smb.conf ----------------------------------------------- # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2003/12/29 08:09:35 # Global parameters [global] netbios name = SMALL security = SHARE passdb backend = guest ldap ssl = no hosts allow = 192.168.10. [share] path = /share read only = No guest ok = Yes [hpdj] path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = Yes printable = Yes use client driver = Yes ---------------------------------------- Everyone on my home network can print to my FreeBSD machine. [share] is a share I just put up for testing purposes. [hpdj] is the printer, just the way I set it up with cups for local printing - no raw printer or anything like that. /var/spool/samba is a directory I put in myself. Its permissions are set to drwxrwxrwt nobody nobody . Ideas for this setup com from J. Terpstra (one of samba's devellopers) http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/StandAloneServer.html I am using samba3 compiled against cups on -CURRENT . As I said it works, but I am not sure if this is everything one needs to do. Hope it helps, Uli. +---------------------------+ | Peter Ulrich Kruppa | | Wuppertal | | Germany | +---------------------------+
