printer sharing

[pbharris]

here is my smb.conf file:

#======================= Global Settings =====================================
[global]

  workgroup = HARRIS 
  server string = Samba Server
  printcap name = /etc/printcap
  load printers = yes
  printing = lprng
  log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
  max log size = 0       
  security = user       
  encrypt passwords = yes   
  smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
  socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
#============================ Share Definitions ==============================
[homes]             
  comment = Home Directories  
  browseable = no       
  writable = yes        
  valid users = %S       
  create mode = 0664      
  directory mode = 0775    
[printers]           
  comment = All Printers    
  path = /var/spool/samba   
  browseable = no       
  guest ok = no        
  writable = no        
  printable = yes       
# This one is useful for people to share files
[tmp]              
  comment = Temporary file space
  path = /tmp         
  read only = no        
  public = yes         
[mp3s]             
    path = /mp3s      
    guest ok = Yes     
    read only = Yes     
                
[cdrom]             
    path = /mnt/cdrom    
    guest ok = Yes     
    read only = Yes

    guest ok = no

does your printer section look like mine?

everythings working great now. I don't know what it is. I copied just the printer section which was already almost the same as mine except for the guest access line and that didn't work, so then I used your global options edited with my preferences ofcourse. I think the problem may have been
printing = lprng

i didn't have that line.

thanks for the help!

np Agar!

err looks like I've gotten ahead of myself here. It let me add the printer in xp and install the drivers everything worked great until I actually go to print something. Now I go to print somethign and nothing happens. So I open up the print queue or whatever its called and it says can't connect to epsonsty on ALFRED access denied. So heres my samba config excluding the unneccesary file shares. I hope someone can find something wrong with this.

[global]
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
printing = lprng
encrypt passwords = yes
workgroup = AGAR
server string = file/print server
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
netbios name = alfred
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
load printers = yes
printcap name = /etc/printcap
max log size = 0

[printers]
path = /var/spool/samba
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
printable = yes
public = yes

[agar]
