I've installed Samba 2.2.7a on my SuSE 8.1 system in an effort to
persuade it to act as a print server on my LAN, which consists of it
and 6 Windows desktops of various flavors. Right away it seemed to
allow file sharing and printing from DOS and became browsable from the
Network Neighborhood, but I can't get it to print from Windows. I
keep getting a Status of "Access denied, unable to connect", even when
simply trying to print a test page. A perusal of the Samba logs has
been inconclusive as has a poring through both Samba and SuSE
documentation. I'm guessing that it's a stupid permission or
authentication configuration I've overlooked, but it's making me
crazy!
I tried to keep my smb.conf very simple:
# This is /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
[global]
netbios name = penguin
workgroup = workgroup
log level = 2
log file = /var/log/samba.log
security = share
[pub]
path = /home/public
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
[printers]
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
