Hello,
for some new printers in our company we want to set up a samba server with cups.
We use w2k and wxp as clients.
Because we want to make some of those printers public for open rooms we have
some problems:
We use novell for some rooms and for other rooms an active directory. The
Novell-clients use a local user account for login.
Every client should use the printers without insert a password, so we need to
use the guest account.
I had set up the printers in cups and see them in the samba share. At next I
have to login on the samba share from windows to install the server-saved
drivers for windows. And this doesn't works...
Every time I insert \\ip-adress in windows I become access as guest. Then I have
tried to connect with "net use z: \\ip-adress\printers", where you can
insert a different login name for the share. But he doesn't accept this
user... He asks for the guest password again and again and don't give an
error.
So I don't know how I can make this work and so I want to ask for some help
here. Does anyone use this set up and can give me some advise or how-tos.
As Unix-System we use debian etch.
Here is the configuration I already have:

Thanks for your help...
