[PLUG] Re: SAMBA weirdness
|
LeRoy,
I've had the same problem trying to print from Win98 machines to a
linux machine on my network.
Is it a problem if the Windows machines have null passwords? Every
time they boot, we get a username/password prompt. The username is
already there; we just tap <enter> and we're in.
We can access (read/write) shared directories on the linux machine
without problems.
However, we're unable to access the printer (though we can "see" it
in Network Neighborhood.) Print jobs just vanish. The printer does
work from the linux machine (i.e. something like "ls > lp0" prints
fine).
Greg
Are you running lprng on the SAMBA box? =20
On the Windows side you have to log in and use the password for the user
to be able to use the Samba services. Also did you sync the Samba
password file with /etc/passwd?
I noticed that windows can ``see'' the printer even though the user is not
logged on. So a print job would be sent then trashed.
Attached to this message is a copy of my SAMBA config file.
Have a good day,
LeRoy
