[Samba] WIndows 98 asking for a password

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.

[Samba] WIndows 98 asking for a password

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

[Samba] WIndows 98 asking for a password

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.

[Samba] WIndows 98 asking for a password

Add the samba server information to the
hosts and lmhosts files on your PCs.

Jim

p.s. Connect to the printer share using the
\\hostname\sharename, not \\ip\sharename

[Samba] WIndows 98 asking for a password

Shorten the share name to less than 12 char's

Win9x can't handle them 12 char's or >

see:  Share Names Greater Than 12 Characters Cause Errors on Clients
[Q145949]
