I'm running samba 2.2.3a and want to add a printer so that it can only be used by certain users (or groups of users). This is the entry in the smb.conf file [floor2] comment = Printer 2nd Floor path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes use client driver = Yes valid users = @grp1 write list = @grp1 force group = grp1 public = no However, this doesn't appear to work. Can anyone enlighten me as to what's wrong? Thanks.
[floor2] printer = floor2 printable = yes ... would probably be an improvement. path=/var/spool/samba means you are sharing the directory !
