I'm having some problems sharing my printer with samba. The printer
works fine locally, but whenever I try to connect to it from a windows
machine i get the error message "Access denied, unable to connect"
the parts of my /etc/smb.conf concerned with printing look like this
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
printing = lprng
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printer = raw
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
And my /etc/printcap looks like this
Print:\
:ml#0:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/Print:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/Print/Print.acct:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/usb/lp0:\
:lpd_bounce=true:\
:if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:
Seen as its an access denied error i though it could be to do with the
permissions of /var/spool/samba but they are set drwxrwxrwt which as far
as i know is correct.
The ip of the server is 192.168.0.2. and from the windows machine I am
trying to connect by typing \\192.168.0.2\printers
I am new to the world of samba so if I'm betting i've made an obvious
mistake somewhere along the line.
Thanks in advance,
Adam
