samba - Jan 2001 - a samba server without a printer entry

Hi !!

My question is very simple, so I hope I get an answere.

How can I create a samba server, without any printer service. I play
with all this setting in the smb.conf, but everytime I see the printer
entry on 
an NT client. 
But I want to create only a fileserver, no printer NOTHING !!!

Juergen

I think that removing the printer configuration
details altogether from the smb.conf
should do it.

Hi,
  I've got my samba working, it is now working as a PDC for my domain.
a. How do I get users to log on to the domain.  Some machines here can log
on to the domain, some can't.  Is there any setting that I need to do.  The
instructions for adding the machine to the domain has been done, in case
you are wondering?

b. None of the Win2k machines have been able to print to the samba server.
Why??  The debug messsages from the samba machine is as follows, with debug
level 65535.

The error message on the screen read:
The server on which the "NO DRIVER AVAILABLE FOR THIS PRINTER" printer
resides does not have the correct printer driver installed.  If you want to
install the driver on your local machine, click OK.

The printer daemon running on the samba machine is CUPS.  Is this a problem
with CUPS??

All help appreciated.  Thanx in advance.

Ciao

In your smb.conf file, change(or add) the line "load printers=no"
(without the quotes of course), and also look for a share section
"[printers]", and comment it all out or remove it.  Don't forget
to
stop-start the smbd service after you edit the file.

Hi !!

Ok, thanks for all the mails with the tips, but no of them are very
helpfull !!! 

So, if I use the "load printers = no" and/or browseable/aviable
command
I see a printer folder on the client and I don't find any solution for
this problem. How I can configure a samba system without this printer
folder in the main client window of the server ?

Now I get it. All the tips I send to you were for a printer attached to 
a Samba machine. why did you say it in the first place? :-)
I don't have a NT machine at hand now but this is a matter of share 
on the NT side. Play a bit in Network in Control Panel. MS win32 
has a service called "File and print sharing". Disable the print 
sharing part and it will work 100% guaranteed.
Samba has nothing to do with this.
