[Samba] standalone file and print server inside SAMBA network problem

[Braam Greyling]

Hi,


I have an existing Samba network consisting of a SAMBA PDC with win98
and XP clients (there is also some linux machines on the network
connecting via NIS/NFS.

Everything is running nicely.

Now I want to add a samba print server to the domain.
All this server needs to do is share a printer for the domain.

For some reason I cannot get this printer server to share anything.
Not even it's home directories.
I have tried various options, used testparm etc.

When I browse the network with a win98 machine and I go to the
printserver, it asks for a network password.
No matter what password you type in there is accepted.

Please help.

Specs:
Both servers running SuSE9.0 with Samba 
With smbstatus on printserver I get

Samba version 2.2.8a-SuSE
Service      uid      gid      pid     machine
----------------------------------------------



Here is the smb.conf from the printserver
