Recently I tried using Samba to print from the WinXP box to a FreeBSD
webserver which has been using Samba 2.2.12 successfully to share
folders to WinXP.
It works - sort of. Problem is Samba keeps applying user level security
to printer access. I thought that I could change security to "share"
in the [printers} definition but that does not seem to work. Probably a
doddle to fix for you pros..!
I was able to connect printer to FBSD box, and install it as a printer
in WinXP, however if I shutdown WinXP then the next time I boot WinXP my
printer is inaccessible until I "login" to my FBSD file shares using a
user id. There are lots of settings which I have tried which are
currently commented out as they did not seem to be effective. Help with
this would be greatly appreciated as I do not want to have to "login" to
my webserver every time I need to print from Windows.
Here is my smb.conf: (sorry the [printers] is at bottom)
