HI, I built a samba and cups server on the same host,whose IP is 172.16.232.204, currently printers work as expected ,as I access printers from windows7 by startup =》 run :\\172.16.232.204 and then click printer icon, install drivers manually. I follow this link, but it looks like I must configure a client to authenticate against Samba Domain first， and then "DOMAIN\domain users" group will appear on 172.16.232.204 by "getent passwd" Does my guess correctly? And another question is is there any other easier way to do this? building a winbind is really a fuss as all my host are windows client. Actually I haven't seen anything related with [print$] and printer drivers from the latest 'man smb.conf', so is the way from above link feasible? Thanks,
