Hi I am giving up. I cannot print to my Samba printer (attached to Linux) and I was able to do it before. I do not remember what I have done first upgraded to glibc or recompiled samba 10 times.
It is not my windows client problem -- because when I use smbclient '\\myhost\printer_name' -P on the same machine -- it still does not work. It says share name is not found. when I do smbclient -L myhost -- I see all the shares including the printers (by now I created to services that point to the same printer). I read Samba's hints.txt diagnosis.txt and FAQs -- I can print from my Linux box using lpr command (I use LPRing package) -- everything is OK with printing (no problems with users not being able to write to a spool directory, etc.). Just remembered I also installed 2.1.59 kernel (before I was using 2.1.56) -- but I do not think it matters. I attach to this message my smb.conf and output from testparm. If anyone can help -- I would really appreciate that Vladislav
