[Samba] Printing problems with Win2000

[Wade Winright]

Even though User Manager will show your samba box, it still has to be joined
to the domain using smbpasswd to work correctly. I have a samba box here set
up on an NT domain and on a AD/win2k domain. Both had to be joined to the
domain using smbpasswd to work with security = domain.
Am I making sense?
Feel free to drop me a line if I'm not.

No, because when I specify: security=DOMAIN, then the PDC of the network
resolve the request to the linux box, in this way you must specify the
user password sometime, for the share folder it works fine, and it is
much more secure, but I do not understand because it doesn't work with
the objects in the network wood like the printers, then it works fine
with the other win9x clients.
I try the same in the way you answered me, but it doesn't work.Give me
other suggestions please.
Marco.
