Samba, swat and printing
Hi all,
Ok next problem:
I see my printer under windows. I click properties, and windows says "I can't see what printer that is", and lets me install a driver. I choose HP laserject 4P ( which is my printer ) and it installs it nicely. Then it shows me the properties of the printer. I try to print a testpage, but it didn't succeed. My guess is that I did something wrong in the smb.conf. Can someone help me. From what I understand you have to refer to the printers in your printcap file which looks like this at my puter:

I don't want guests to be able to print to this printer. I added this in my smb.conf file:
<b>
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
printable = yes
public = no
read only = yes
create mode = 0700
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s
path = /var/spool/samba/print
</b>
I hope someone can help me further here
