When I attempt to set up RH8.0 box as print server for network (jet direct) printers, I can't configure a Windoz box for the printer unless I first complete a valid samba authentication (e.g. map a network a network drive).
I want anyone to be able to print to the printer without authentication/password:
in smb.conf, I have the [printers] entry as follows:
[printers] comment = All printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no public = yes guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes
Yet when I attempt to add printer from a Windoz box, I get error "Could not connect to the printer. Access is denied."
If I first map a samba share with valid username/password, I can then successfully add the printer from the Windoz box.
Any thoughts?
