I'm a little uncertain about your question. You say you used the GUI. Is
this a Fedora thing or the Gnome or KDE tool? In any case, did you tell
it that you are using CUPS?
I'm also a little uncertain about your setup. It doesn't look like
you've joined the Domain that your PDC is controlling. If your server
is not a member of the domain, I'm not sure if the authentication will
work. SWAT has a nice wizard for joining a domain.
Another concern is the permissions on /var/spool/samba. I use CUPS for
printing but since you are back with Windows 98, Samba makes some sense.
However, if Samba is using the local CUPS server, which I'd assume is
the case, does CUPS have permission to use use /var/spool/samba?
Finally, I note in my samba config that I've got lines like:
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
I think your printcap name is the default for bsd printing. Again, you
can use SWAT for sharing printers.

Hi All,
I have two boxes running samba 3 on fedora2.
Box A is the primary domain controller & smb file server and we (a primary
school in QLD, Australia) can login from our windows 98 machines with samba
verifying usernames & passwords.
This week I've been trying to setup Box B as a print server (and eventually
limit students' printing sprees). I've connected the HPLazerJet1000 printer and
can print to it using cups from box B, and the printer is also 'shared' (I used
the GUI).
Then using webmin I added HPLaser as a share and I could see it in a windows
browser but couldn't access it. I want to print from box B but usernames &
passwords are on box A. So just to test I used a username from box B and it
connects but doesn't print.
I've done a lot of reading and googling, testing and trying, and this is my last
resort - can anyone point me in the right direction?
How do you send usernames & passwords to the samba pdc from another samba
server? Here is my smb.conf ..... (and 'frederick' is Box A, pdc)
[global]
dns proxy = No
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
cups options = raw
netbios name = PRINTSERVER
server string = Print Server
password server = frederick
default = HPLaser
local master = No
workgroup = RLPS
printcap name = /etc/printcap
security = server
preferred master = no
[HPLaser]
printer = HPprinter
printable = yes
writeable = yes
printer driver = foo2zjs
path = /var/spool/samba
printer name = HPprinter
comment = All Printers
Best regards,
Debbie
