Hello, I am trying to set up my RH linux 7.3 as a print server using samba. I want it so that even guest user that does not have an account in the linux machine can print to it as well.
I read through the samba configuration from RH 7.3 manual in redhat website, and looked at the Un-official samba how to from samba.org also, but still can't get this to work. OK, so here goes the problem. Using Win2000, I can see the linux machine, and map the drive there, but I have to login as my username in the linux machine (arcturus), and password. Once I've done that, I can go to Start -> Setting -> Add Printer and browse for network printer. Then I can see Arcturus, double click on it, and see the printers. But, if I don't map arcturus first, so in this case I am a just a 'guest' user accordig to arcturus, I can't browse the printers attached to arcturus. My smb.conf is pretty much the default one with Redhat, except I enabled (un-comment) the following: [global] ... guest account = pcguest ... [homes] ... map to guest = bad user [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no # Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print Set public = yes guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
