msg43 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 (edited) 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 Edited July 7, 2005 by msg43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
