Hello,
I am new to samba and I have just installed samba 2.0.7 on my linux box
(debian - potato). I want to be able to use the linux box as a printer
server for my win98 network.
File access from my win98 network to my linux box works fine. Printing from
my linux box as root or as a normal user to the printer attached to my
linux box works fine, but printing from the win98 network to the printer
attached to my linux box does not work. I have set 'log level = 3' in
smb.conf and /var/log/smb show the following problem:
Error opening file winbox.HsNe70 (Permission denied) (flags = 193)
I have the following smb.conf:
[global]
printing = lprng
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
guest account = nobody
invalid users = root
log level = 3
security = user
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = %h server (Samba %v)
syslog only = no
syslog = 0
encrypt passwords = yes
wins support = yes
name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
dns proxy = no
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes
unix password sync = false
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = no
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
path = /var/spool/lpd
printable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
create mode = 0700
My /etc/printcap file contains the following lines:
ascii|lp1|lbp8-a4-ascii-mono|lbp8 ascii mono:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lbp8-a4-ascii-mono:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lbp8-a4-ascii-mono/log:\

:af=/var/spool/lpd/lbp8-a4-raw:\
:if=/var/lib/apsfilter/filter/aps-lbp8-a4-raw:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
I have tried to find a solution to this problem in the docs, faq's and
archives, but so far I have not been able to find one. I hope someone on
this list can help me find the answer to my problem.
Tia,
