[Samba] Samba + Cups 2200 Laserjet printer

Hi all,

Hoping some one can help me out here.

I have a 2200dn laser printer working on a centos 5 server (using webmin for
configuration).

I have added it via webmin as a samba printer share with permissions to my
account.

Security is set to "user level" not "share level" (the default).

I can access my samba shares fine, download and upload to them.

I can also see the printer, but what i cannot do is print.

When i try and add the printer via my general PCL5 drivers it asks me for a
username and password. I am currently logged into the computer so i would of
thought it didn't need it and i cannot enter in the username or password
because i am already logged in.

I cannot figure out if it is possible to have the samba server share my
printer by default to everyone with any security level yet not open up my
shares to everyone.


Cheers
Scott
