Hello,
I have been slamming my head against a wall this last week trying to get print sharing working from Samba. My eventual goal would be to use winbind and the print$ share to make everything as seemless as possible but for now I am just trying to do the basics and I am having trouble.
I have set up the printers share to allow guest access. I can see the printers fine. I can install the printer. I can see jobs printed from Linux. But if I try to print from windows I get "Test Page Failed... Unable to Create Print Job" This web site is awesome and I use it all the time for everything so I thought I would throw this one out there.
Here is a copy of my smb.conf created from SWAT
- Sorry about the long post. One more thing though, I have set 1777 permissions on lpd and samba.
# Global parameters
[global]
netbios name = TSLINUXPRINT01
security = SHARE
preferred master = No
local master = No
domain master = No
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
printing = lprng
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
