We have a unix server in our sales office that is running samba as a
server on our corporate domain.  For all sales personnel who have
accounts on our corporate domain, connection is no problem for both file
and printing services.

The problem comes from a subsidiary sales group who needs to also print
through this same samba server but they do not have accounts on the
corporate domain and do not log into the corporate domain.  They do have
accounts on the unix sambaa server.  They are trying to connect with
windows 95 systems.

This is how I have my printer section in my smb.conf file:

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /var/spool/samba
   printable = yes
   writable = no
   public = yes

Is it possible to be outside the default domain and still be able to
access the printers on the samba server?
