RE: [Samba] can not connect to the shared printer
I'm not an expert but I see lots of things missing in your smb.conf file. You have not defined the samba server netbios name. No samba password path. Have you set samba passwords? Define security level. Also, you may find that you will neeed to stop IPChains and IPTables on the samba server once you get things running somewhat. At least until you can set up firewall rules. Once you set the netbios name - you should then be able to see the samba server in network neighborhood. Also, should be alble to ping from windows both the samba IP address and net bios name. These are all things I learned over the last few months as I have been learning Samba - hope it helps.

The fact that you can mount a samba share from Linux means nothing, this is not dependant upon whether you have the smbd running. This is so you dont have to have smbd running on every client machine (there are mixed OS networks). The mount command using the -t smbfs depends totally on whether the smbfs was compiled into the kernel under File Systems. The way to test whether the daemon is running would be to run: ps aux | grep smbd This should show you whether the smbd is running. If it is try restarting it and looking in the Samba logs for any errors, if it isnt then look it up. Thanks and merry Christmas.
