[Samba] Windows 'NETWORK PASSWORD' Samba printer

[Chris McKeever]

Thanks for the reply - 
I have since upgraded to 3.0.11 and the same symptoms occur
XP/2000 work great printing/file access anonymously
WIN98 anonymous file access WORKS, printing causes a 'NETWORK PASSWORD" dialogue

I tried some other troubleshooting with no avail - unfortunately the
only thing I found to work was to add a username and password to
smbpasswd for the station (hence remove the anonymous attempt) - this
worked, but kills the concept for an anomymous print server .

Below is my smb.conf, if anyone can see something blatent wrong with
it. - I appreciate it.  thanks!


smb.conf:

[global]
        workgroup = prupref.com
        server string = PRUPREF PRINT SERVER
        printing = cups
        printcap name = cups
        printcap cache time = 750
        cups options = raw
        printer admin = @ntadmin, root, administrator
        # printer mode point-n-click
        default devmode = yes
        username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
        # if there are admin issues - check this parameter and the
smbpasswd syncing
        map to guest = bad password
        #guest account = guestprint
        wins server = wins.prupref.com
        encrypt passwords = yes
        security = user
        include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
        logon path =
        logon home =
        logon drive =
        loglevel = 10
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/tmp
        printable = Yes
        create mask = 0600
        browseable = No

[print$]
        comment = Printer Drivers
        path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
        write list = @ntadmin root administrator
        guest ok = yes
        force group = ntadmin
        create mask = 0664
        directory mask = 0775
