Re: Samba What a struggle

[Daniel Stonier <snorri_dj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Im having problems also, in particular with sharing a a printer on the 
linux box that is running the samba server. Ive done this before with rh8 
and the lp printing system, but I can't for the life of me get the printer 
to share on fc1 with cups. No problem sharing drives/directories though, 
just problems with the printer. Has anybody managed to get this going and 
if so would they mind if they emailed me an example of their smb.conf and 
cupsd.conf files?

Did you make sure you set an smbpassword for the user? (/usr/bin/smbpasswd)
