Printing howto

[Blas Castro]

    Hi, i have a little problem with my Solaris 2.6 printer server. Samba TNG works perfect as PDC, but not as Printing server. 

    I guess your suggestion is very good indeed, but i really need a little how to alias the IP address and link the stable samba 2.1, i have already compiled and installed to the new IP.

    Can you help me?

You could change your config. IP alias two IP addresses to your network
card. Bind TNG to on IP address, and use it for domain control. Install
a stable Samba, and bind it to the other IP Address, set
security=DOMAIN, join it to your domain, and then serve your printers
from that. It's a pain to set up, but you get the best domain control
functionality and file/print from such a set up.
