Linux printer share for NT 4.0 clients..

[AG]

Hello,

I'm a samba novice ;(

Saw your "detailed" responses to another newbie questions so I thought I

give you a shout :)

Here is my setup:

I've got 2 Linux boxes.  One is running Ypserv and handles the
authentication, the other is  a 486  33mhz running ypbind(slave) and it
is my printserver.  The print server is also running 1.9.18 samba
release as a daemon (smbd -D).

It has two printers attached via parallel ports and each is shared
service..  I know this b/c when I do *smbclient -L "myhostname"* , they
come up as shared clients.

So each authenticated user can actually mount their " \" directory..
They don't actually have accts on the printserver(don't have the disk
space).

I've got 10 NT 4.0 boxes which need to print to these shared printers..

However, printing only occurs when I "physically" mount the home
directory via "\\hostname\home_dir".

I want samba to offer the network printers as a share device to each
authenticated user automatically.

Should be transparent to the user..

How do I do this?  Please be advised that Ialso want a secure network..
I don't want everyone to utilize these printers...

I've attached the output of "testparm" for your review.

Thanks in advance..
