Hello,
I'm running samba 3.2.5. I've got two printers only one of which i
want
the network to see. In my smb.conf global section i have:
load printers = no
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
and my printer definition:
[printername]
comment = network printer
path = /var/spool/samba
browsable = no
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
and in my network neighborhood the printer doesn't show up. If i change the
name of that share to [printers] and the load printers option to yes setting
up all printers to be visible the printers show up. Can i only see this one
printer?
Thanks.
Dave.

Then use the following examples that i have from this url http://www.collaborium.org/onsite/benin/lectures/simone/samba-printing.html To create a private personal printer add the section: [privateprn] comment = pc1 private printer path = /var/spool/samba printer = printer1 public = no writable = no printable = yes valid users = pc1 To create a group accessible printer add the section: [groupprn] comment = guest user group printer path = /var/spool/samba printer = printer1 public = no writable = no printable = yes valid users = @guest -- Rune T?nnesen Bedste Hilsner/Best Regards
