hello,
I have just install the samba soft on a Solaris 2.5 station.
For the beginning, I try to print whith a PC Window's 95 configuration on a
printer define on my server Samba.
In my office, The PC are enable to communicate this a Novell Server.
When I try to print with a PC via Samba, it is possible, if in a first time, I
connect me on the server Novell (authentification database of Novell), then I
can send a job via the server samba to the printer...
But, it is not what I want to do. I want to print whithout communication this
Novell server...
I have to kind of questions:
1 - What protocole are necessary to communicate whith a PC on a Samba server?
The documentation explain PC need TCP/IP with NetBios. But, whith this
configuration I can't connunicate, why?
2 - I want to authentificate connection to the samba server with unix NIS
database and not Novell database, how can I do this?
I send my configuration of smb.conf file:
# Global parameters
workgroup = "I put here the NIS name..."
netbios name = STATION1
server string = Serveur Samba
password server = station1
protocol = LANMAN1
announce version =
announce as = win95
name resolve order = host lmhosts wins bcast
domain master = Yes
hosts allow = "I put here my IP domain"
[hp4m_4_gt]
comment = HP4M Postscript, labo GT, 4eme etage
path = /tmp/samba/lp-spool/hp4mp_4_gt
username = "two username for the test"
valid users = @grgeophy (the usernames are include in this group)
hosts allow = "two IP number of PC are put here, the PC of the
test..."
print ok = Yes
postscript = Yes
printer name = hp4m_4_gt
printer driver =
printer driver location =
There is something wrong in my configuration of smb.conf?
\\station1\hp4m_4_gt it's ok via Novell connection
\\station\hp4m_4_gt , station1 is unknown in the over case....
I would like to have the good way to configure a Window's 95 PC....
protocole, net (microsoft, Netware....)
