I added "public = yes" to the printer section of smb.conf, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
[printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no # Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes public = yes It this the correct way to make my printer public?
