I am trying to set up a standalone samba print server, however when I
try to select the server in the Add Printer Dialog or in network
neighborhood from a Windows XP Professional machine that is on a Domain
I get a password prompt which I do not want. The results of the
testparm command is below:

 

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf

Processing section "[printers]"

Processing section "[tmp]"

Loaded services file OK.

Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
