Hi,
I am running the fedora core 1.
I want to use samba for file sharing and printing.
I created this config file using SWAT (at the end of the message) and everything works except printers.
I am unable to connect to any printer on the server.
I am trying to connect from windows xp.
I can see the printer but whenever I try to connect
I receive error that the name of the printer is incorect.
WHY? For me it looks like the permittion problem, but I enabled the guest account for printers, so anybody should be able to connect. Also, before the the fedora I used redhat and everything worked fine. I even updated the samba to the latest version 3.0.1-1 but I cannot use the printers on the server. I looked at samba log file and there are no errors there.
Please help
