Greetings again,
I'm trying to set up Samba for printing following the O'Reilly Samba
book and RedHat's own installation book. I've set up 2 network printers
on HP JetDirect servers, and can print to either of them from the
Printtool in Gnome perfectly well. If I print from the command line I
can print to either, but if I printed from a Windows 95 client, despite
using either printer, I could only print to lj5mp. Now I can't print to
either and I don't know what I've done.
The shares are as follows:
[hp4050tn]
comment = HP 4050TN
printable = yes
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r %s
printer = lp0
printing = BSD
path = /usr/spool/samba/lp0
browsable = yes
public = yes
guest ok = yes
[lj5mp]
comment = HP LaserJet 5MP
printable = yes
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r %s
printer = lp
path = /usr/spool/samba/lp
printing = BSD
guest ok = yes
Guest is set to nobody. What should the printer spool permissions and
ownweships be? It was all working so well .....
