Okay... seems I still cannot get anything working right with this as far
getting it to print. Here is the three different files which I would like all
to look at and see what I have screwed up since it refuses to print.
Here is the setup of the network:
HP 5L connected to Win95 - 192.168.0.1
Linux - Zeus - 192.168.0.3
-----------SMB.CONF FILE------------
; /etc/smb.conf
[global]

guest account = nobody
invalid users = root
announce as = Win95
allow hosts = 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.4 192.168.0.1
remote announce = 192.168.0.255/GV2
remote browse sync = 192.168.0.255
security = share
workgroup = GV2
server string = %h server (Samba %v)
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096

os level = 0
domain master = no
local master = yes
preferred master = no
name resolve order = bcast host wins
dns proxy = no
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes
unix password sync = false
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New\spassword:* %n\n *Re-enter\snew\spassword:* %n\n *Passwor
max log size = 1000
[home]
comment = Home Directories

; path = /cdrom
; public = yes
;
[public]

------------PRINTCAP FILE-----------------
# Printcap Configuration File

) | /usr/bin/smbclient "\\\\GOD_SERVER\\HP5L" -I 192.168.0.1 -N
-P> /var/log/smbprint.log
So... here is the problem. The linux cannot print out to the HP Printer 5L
that is connected to the Windoze. And top of it off... The Win95 clients
cannot even browse or get inside the Linux directories at all. Reason I have
the IP addresses in there is for secure method of allowing certain hosts to
have free access into the Linux to do the work even at the top. But the good
news is... I can mount the 2 Windoze shares on the Linux using Smbmount and
edited the samba start-up/shutdown files to mount and unmount them on the fly
with no problem. So... the printing and the Win95 access into the linux is
what I needed to make this work and I will be so happy that I can leave this
behind and start focusing on other tasks. It would be nice if there is a way
to mount the printer to the port on Linux instead of this way as it is right
now. So... anyone who can edit this configuration and make it work like I
wanted would be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

AFAIK, none of them are case-sensitive (while unix/linux/etc are). The pain-in-the-ass part comes because win9x/NT are "case-remembering" (a silly behavior IMHO), ie, if you create a file under win95 called "XXX-lower.ext" it will be displayed that way in explorer, but to the file system it's really all the same case. I've also noticed that sometimes windoze will upper-case the first letter and sometimes not. Just another example of what total pieces of crap M$ products really are... If you use the recommended (default) settings for case handling in smb.conf, at least windoze exploder should display the case of unix files correctly. ************************************************************ Stephen L.

You can then browse other shares from windoze exploder. You may have a binary samba package that doesn't have the complete set of docs (on linux, check /usr/doc/samba-x.xx). If so, check the samba web pages; all the included docs (as well as a few others) are online. You can also download one or more source packages. The 1.9.x and 2.0 docs are a little different; some new things are specific to the new 2.0 version, but some of the more general docs (such as Browsing.txt) have been expanded (thus the 2.0 docs will help even if you're still running an older version). **************************************************************** Stephen L.
