Re: Unable to print from Windows Vista Laptop via Samba

[James Allsopp <jamesaallsopp@googlemail.com>]

Hi,
Unfortunately, samba doesn't seem to be picking up any changes to my
smb.conf even after a restart.

Compare the printer related output from testparm
[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	create mask = 0700
	guest ok = Yes
	printable = Yes
	use client driver = Yes
	browseable = No

[print$]
	comment = Printer Drivers
	path = /var/lib/samba/printers

to that from the smb.conf file
[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   browseable = yes
   path = /var/spool/samba
   printable = yes
   guest ok = yes
   read only = yes
   writeable = no
   create mask = 0700
   use client driver = yes
# Windows clients look for this share name as a source of downloadable

# printer drivers

[print$]
   comment = Printer Drivers
   path = /var/lib/samba/printers
   browseable = yes
   read only = yes
   guest ok = no

So I think my problem is that it's not picking up the settings, any more
advice would be greatly appreciated,

Best regards
Jim
