That's no good. Here's parts of my smb.conf :
[global]
printing = cups
load printers = yes
;
; A "magic" section.
;
[printers]
comment = All Printers
available = yes
; spool dir
directory = /tmp
printable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
create mode = 0666
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest account = nobody
I tried this and it still doesn't see the printer. The only time the
printer shows up on the windows box is when I add the 'printcap name =
/etc/printcap.cups' line to the global area. Then of course, its saying
'Access denied'.
I did get it to work by changing the rights and group on /var/spool/cups
to 777 and group lp and added users to lp. But anytime cups is restarted
it changes the rights back and group to sys.
