Thanks for the reply - I have since upgraded to 3.0.11 and the same symptoms occur XP/2000 work great printing/file access anonymously WIN98 anonymous file access WORKS, printing causes a 'NETWORK PASSWORD" dialogue
I tried some other troubleshooting with no avail - unfortunately the only thing I found to work was to add a username and password to smbpasswd for the station (hence remove the anonymous attempt) - this worked, but kills the concept for an anomymous print server . Below is my smb.conf, if anyone can see something blatent wrong with it. - I appreciate it. thanks! smb.conf: [global] workgroup = prupref.com server string = PRUPREF PRINT SERVER printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw printer admin = @ntadmin, root, administrator # printer mode point-n-click default devmode = yes username map = /etc/samba/smbusers # if there are admin issues - check this parameter and the smbpasswd syncing map to guest = bad password #guest account = guestprint wins server = wins.prupref.com encrypt passwords = yes security = user include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = logon home = logon drive = loglevel = 10 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp printable = Yes create mask = 0600 browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @ntadmin root administrator guest ok = yes force group = ntadmin create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 On Thu, 17 Feb 2005 00:41:57 +0100, Robert Schetterer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi Chris must be an issue with your smb.conf > i never had such problems with suse during all versions since 8.0 and > samba whatever version.But i never used win98 since win2000 was > released...so maybe win98 is the problem but i am nearly sure it isnt > Regards > > Chris McKeever schrieb: > | SUSE 9.1 > | Samba 3.0.9 > | Wn 98 > | > | I am having an issue with windows 98 and a samba printer.
