nt 4.0 printing to samba 17p2 as non-guest
when using an nt 4.0 client, i can get non-guest access to all shares as i want. however, i cannot get access to any printers unless the printer is setup as a guest printer. nt 4.0 always seems to try to use the printer as guest user. nt 4 never gives me the chance to give a passwd for access to the server. (i do have SP3 on nt). if i use win 95 client, i can get access to all shares and printers as a non-guest user as i wanted. is there a particular setting in smb.conf to get nt 4.0 to use the printer as a non-guest users? or is there something i am not doing to get nt 4 to access samba's printers as the logged on nt user? i have 17p2 installed on sco.

[printers] browsable= no path=/home/%u writable= no public=no printable=yes create mode = 0700 Printing with NT4 doesn't work if you don't use samba with password encryption enabled (also if you have the clear password registry hack installed). NT4 contacts the printer in a other way than Win95 and Win3.11 ;-( . Best regards Dirk Eller ........................................................................
