[Samba] Multiple Printers on LPT

Hi

I have a RH7.2 server with 3 x LPT ports

I have installed the following printers using the GUI printconfig

Lp0 = HP1200
Lp1 = OKI320
Lp2 = OKI321

I have shared them via samba
I can brows them using WinXP & Win2K by browsing the Linux box, looking 
at the printers and double clicking to open them, all is OK you would 
say, No.

When I install the printer on either the WinXP or Win2k PC then I get 
"access denied" really frustrating.

Any clues?

Many thanks

Mike

Not sure if this will help, but XP clients get the denied access errors
which can be cure with :

        use client driver = yes     

I have never understood why this works.

You'll find that you can probably print to them.  Most likely your
problem is that you have no machine account on the samba
box for the XP and 2k machines.

Do:

smbpasswd -a -m <machinename>

for each XP and 2k machine.

In most *nixs' you'll have to do this first though:

useradd -d /dev/null -s /bin/false <machinename\$>

since samba needs a unix account to latch onto.

HTH,

Hi all I am still having problems with this

I have tried:

use client driver = yes.

smbpasswd -a -m <machinename> for each XP and 2k machine.
In most *nixs' you'll have to do this first though: useradd -d /dev/null
-s
/bin/false <machinename\$>

Are there any other suggestions?

Many thanks
