Hello:
I have a brother HL-1440 laser printer set-up and working fine on my
RedHat 7.3 Linux box. The printer queue is named brotherLaser.
I added a samba share for the printer with these options
in my smb.conf file:
[brotherLaser]
path = /var/spool/lpd/brotherLaser
writable = yes
comment = Brother Laser Printer
printable = yes
public = yes
I then went to a windows 98 machine and tried to set-up a
network printer with the path \\192.168.1.1\brotherLaser
I installed the driver from the cdrom that came with the printer
and everything seemed to work just fine.
But, when I look at the printer, it says that it is offline.
When I try to connect to it, it asks me for a password.
No matter what I enter, it says the password is not correct.
I have samba set to allow for null passwords and the printer
is public, so anyone on the network should be able to
print to it without a password, correct?
Here is my global tag:
[global]
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
pam password change = yes
printing = lprng
dns proxy = no
null passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
printcap name = /etc/printcap
obey pam restrictions = yes
debug level = 10
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
security = user
unix password sync = Yes
server string = Samba Server
workgroup = MYGROUP
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
load printers = yes
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Neil.

You have security=user. If you don't want passwords, set security=share.

Hello: I set the samba to use share level access. Now, it does not ask for a password, but when I try to print something, I get this message on the Windows 98 machine: The was an error writing to \\192.168.1.1\brotherLaser for printer (Brother HL-1440 Series): The network name cannot be found. Any ideas? Thanks, Neil. -- Neil Aggarwal JAMM Consulting, Inc.
