Hello I have this problem with printing to a HP Laser Jet 4L set up on my
linux box which is the local samba server for the intranet. I can only
print as root or as a user admin user = thatuser.
I need to be able to set a password for the printer and only those users
to use the printer who know the password. Or a similar solution.
As ordinary user Windows98 says:
|============================================================================|
||Printers Folder |
|============================================================================|
| |
| There was an error writing to \\LCJDAP SAMBA 1\lp for printer (HP LaserJet |
| 4L (LCJDAP Samba 1)): |
| There was a problem printing to the printer due to an unknown system error.|
| Restart Windows, and then try printing again. |
| This printer will be set to work offline. |
| To save your print job in the local printer queue, click OK. |

| | OK | | Cancel | |

and it the logs:
[1999/04/12 01:02:23, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(528)
smb_password_check failed. Invalid password given for user 'lp'
[1999/04/12 01:02:33, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(528)
smb_password_check failed. Invalid password given for user 'roby'
[1999/04/12 01:02:33, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(506)
Account for user 'pcguest' was disabled.
I keep finding these files in /tmp/
[root@lcjdap /tmp]# cat lpq.00002b98
no entries
[root@lcjdap /tmp]#
What is there to be done?
Ashh: forgot to tell you!
[root@lcjdap ~]# testprns lp
Looking for printer lp in printcap file /etc/printcap
Printer name lp is valid.
[root@lcjdap ~]#
Thank you for your kind help.

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
"testparm"
# to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors.
