SAMBA PROBLEM

[Randy Easley]

I do not understand? (Ignorance) 
If you have public and guest set to yes why couldn't ANY windows PC
print to a linux printer? Here is the error in smbd.log

Printing/nt_printing.c:nt_printing_init(383)
nt_printing_init: error checking published printers: WERR_ACCESS_DENIED

Thanks again

make sure that the 'user' printing (there is a user even if it is a
'guest' - it would be whichever user guest is being mapped to) has write
privileges to the 'spool' directory that you created in smb.conf

see
http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.htm
l#cups-exam-simple

in the example shown above...

chmod 777 /var/spool/samba -R
