I have been reading the Samba HowTo to figure out how to configure it so
that a guest OS in VirtualBox can use the printer. The article gives the
following example for the configuration file:
Example 2.3.3 Anonymous Print Server smb.conf
# Global parameters
[ global ]
workgroup = MIDEARTH
netbios name = LUTHIEN
security = share
printcap name = cups
disable spoolss = Yes
show add printer wizard = No
printing = cups
[ printers ]
comment = All Printers
path = / var / spool /samba
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
use client driver = Yes
browseable = No
My question: What should I change "MIDEARTH" to?
As I log on to Fedora as alan should I change it to alan?
Or should it be the name of a workgroup in my WIN XP virtual OS?
Where does one get the netbios name from to enter in the script,
bearing in mind that this is a standalone computer which a virtual OS
wants to print to?
