[GUIDE] SAMBA + CUPS (Security Share)

[msg43]

EDIT: Guide Updated

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

Ok if I Understand you question it is Microsoft Network (SAMBA) and the printer is hooked up to the linux machine

This is for setting a file and print server in Linux or *BSD!

There is a HOW-TO I wrote here if anyone else is interested.
