This has worked for me for a year.
Try these:
[global]
map to guest = Bad User
guest account = nobody
guest ok = Yes
load printers = yes
use client driver = yes
[printers]
browseable = no
guest ok = yes
printable = yes
public = yes

Subject: Setup Shared Printer with Samba - guest can't see printers
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.
Thanks.
RDB
