Mark [global] workgroup = K9PC netbios name = MARK server string = Samba Server %v encrypt passwords = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = lpstat dns proxy = No wins support = Yes hosts allow = 127.0.0. 192.168.1. printing = cups [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba create mask = 0700 guest ok = Yes printable = Yes print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r # using client side printer drivers. lpq command = lpstat -o %p lprm command = cancel %p-%j browseable = No [elaine] path = /home/elaine [Printer] path = /tmp guest ok = Yes printable = Yes Alex Meaden wrote: >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Mark Brosius" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Alex Meaden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Cc: "Bradley W.
