If it is coming in as nobody then it sounds to me as if you are trying to access it with guest type permissions. Make sure you have created a user on the samba server that matches the user on the windows box including the same password. Or you should be able to modify the permissions on the printer to permit anyone to print. Not sure you really want to do that but I believe it can be done. > This may be a noob question, but how do I get generic information (such > as where the print queue is located) about the printer? > Good question. I have to find time to go look this one up. Typically stuff like that is probably under /var/spool but I have not looked for it in a long time. Of course you should be able to get most of that information from the cups interface. > Thanks again for the help -- Scot L.
