I must have a problem with ownership of the Samba directory that holds the
spooled file to be printed. The only way that I can get a file to print on a
Unix shared printer from a Windows computer is to define the spool area R/W to
world, which is certainly not acceptable. I've tried having root, lp, and
nobody as owners with no luck. Also, I've tried "guest ok = yes". What am I
missing? Below is the [printers] definition from my smb.conf file on a Solaris
7 computer.
Thanks, in advance, for your help.
