Unless I make a user a member of the printer admin group in the smb.conf
file on the Linux Samba Server, on the W2K client the printer will show up
as "Access Denied, Unable to Connect". The user can still connect and print
to that printer, however. I just want to get rid of that incorrect status
message, because it will cause confusion.
Here are the relevant parts of the smb.conf file. Thanks in advance:
[global]
workgroup = WIN
hosts allow = 172.16.
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
printing = lprng
security = domain
password server = *
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
os level = 0
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba/public
browseable = no
printable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
create mode = 0700
[lp11]
comment=David's Printer
path=/home/dneilson
create mask = 0700

lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -Plp11 %j
lprm command = /usr/sbin/lprm -Plp11 %j
printer name = lp11
