Dear users,
I have Samba (3.0.28a) currently configured to share CUPS (1.3.7)
printers on a Ubuntu (8.04 hardy) server, using LDAP for authentication.
After installing a printer (accessing the Samba share and inputting the
user's password), everything is fine and printing works fine. But after
restarting the computer (or simply logging off), the user gets an
"Access Denied" error when trying to print. I noticed that if the user
accesses the share manually (at which point he is asked for his
credentials) the error disappears. Basically, a "net use" connection
is
necessary to allow the user to print.
I realized I can fix the error with a "net use /USER:<user>
//printers
<pass>" command, but as you can imagine, I wouldn't like to store
the
user's password in a cleartext script. I also wouldn't like to force the
user to input his password every day.
After googling this subject, I also tried "use client drivers" to no
success.
Here's my current config (I replaced some "sensitive"
information):

So, does any one have an idea how can I make this work?
