Hidong,

Hi. Install the printer locally. Then set up a new local port in the form:
\\myserver\myprinter Make sure the myprinter you are sharing is not set up
with a driver. For example type redhat-config-printer, select a name
'myprinter' then select a port, but for the driver select "Raw Queue".

Enjoy,

tim

Subject: [Samba] printing from xp

Hi,

I've installed Samba 2.2.7a on a Red Hat 9 machine. This machine is also running VMware with Windows XP as the guest OS. The XP virtual machine can access the Linux host's shared directories, but not the printer. The printer is an Epson Stylus Color 860. It works fine in the Linux host. In the XP guest, I can see the printer in the add printer configuration wizard. But when I try to install the printer on the XP guest, it says that access to the printer is denied. The printer portion of my smb.conf is:

[printers]
         comment = All Printers
         path = /var/spool/samba
         guest ok = Yes
         printable = Yes
         browseable = no


What else do I need to check? Thanks,



Hidong
