I want Windows users on my network to be able to print to my printer without a password. I have "guest ok = yes" in the printers share. I also have "security = user" in the global section. Shouldn't this allow printing without a password? Currently it does not. Printing does work fine with a correct username and password from the Windows machines though. But, it always prompts for a password, and if the password is incorrect or blank, it fails. Does "guest ok" only work when "security = share"? Any ideas what might be wrong?
In my smb.conf file I have (this is not complete though): [global] printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes guest account = nobody invalid users = root security = user encrypt passwords = yes [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = yes path = /tmp printable = yes ; public = yes guest ok = yes writable = no create mode = 0700 Thanks, Gerry
