Hi Guys,
I figure this is a simple issue and someone will point out the
ridiculously simple error I am committing here.
I am setting up a Samba server at a customers location. I have got the
simple share level file sharing working quite well. My problem is with
printing. There are 2 printers, one connected via the parallel port to
the server machine itself (a HP laserjet 4+), the other is a network
printer (LPD, a HP LJ 4100N, factory internal server). Both printers
are spooled with LPRng and work fine off the system, even when logged
in as the Samba default user, nobody.
When a Win9x box browses the server, the shared directories are all
there and visible, and seem to work correctly. The printer are
browsable too, but when an attempt is made to print to one, the Win9x
box reports a Network Name not found error.
The system is a P3-500, 128M Ram, Slackware 8.1, stock bare.i kernel
(for now), Samba 2.2.4 binary package that came with Slack 8.1.
Ideas, suggestions, requests for further information? I don't have the
smb.conf file in digital form but I do have the full report from
testparm in hardcopy, it reports no errors BTW., so I can provide some
answers to those sorts of inquiries.
