msg43 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 (edited) Previous way does not work Well I've been trying to get samba and cups to work for a long time and I didn't care how if it had to be with a user name would have done it but wouldn't have liked it. Anyways.... You need to create a user called samba and a group called samba adduser follow the steps add group groupadd samba Then you need to edit some samba things. First File /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and you go to change this <Location /> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 </Location> to this <Location /> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From All </Location> then you need to uncomment the following lines: /etc/cups/mime.types application/octet-stream /etc/cups/mime.convs application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 - Then you edit you samba conf Edit Samba Config # Global parameters [global] server string = Matthew security = SHARE guest account = samba printer admin = samba, matthew [Share] read only = No guest ok = Yes path = /home/samba [Canoni450] comment = Canoni450 path = /home/samba/spool valid users = matthew, samba guest ok = Yes printable = Yes use client driver = Yes I added a dir so people can see how I setup a share It is probably necessary to add WORKGROUP = yourworkgroup if you use a different workgroup other than workgroup Edited July 7, 2005 by msg43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted March 13, 2005 Veteran Share Posted March 13, 2005 Thanks for the nice HOWTO! (Y) It would be nice if someone could add in some information to limit connections to only a home network set of IPs (or otherwise restrict connections).
