My samba environment is very simple, stable and useful. I'm still running samba 2.0.x as a workgroup and having been handling heirarchal group access for years via symlinks from $HOME and Unix group perms. This machine has always been just a file server. I've been adding scsi drives as space requirements have grown. Now I have good need (due to the addition of a Win2K terminal server) to add print serving to my samba box. I've installed and set up cups, mapped all the printers (12) to cups printers (raw) and configured 2.2.9 for cups printing and built it. I'm now sitting down and trying to figure out how to map things out so that folks in specified Unix groups have access to specific cups printers via samba. I was dreaming of something like; Adding this to global as i see in all examples; printing = cups printcap name = cups load printers = yes Then having specified printer shares, [accounting-printer] comment = Accounting Group Printer path = ?????????????????? printing = sysv printcap = lpstat public = no guest ok = no writeable = no printable = yes valid users = @accntng and so on. Since cups using the same spool for everything it does, how in the world do I tell samba that accounting-printer is a specific cups printer? This I cannot find in any examples. Just a link or something will do. Thanks kindly in advance for any clues. ---
