Hello,
i have a printer shared through samba. i can print to it from my
various machines. but, i can't print to it from the windows machines
until i do this at a command prompt:
net use \\ellen\HPLaserJ /user:user password
i checked the o'reilly book for samba but it looks to me like i have
it set up the way they recommend. i tried changing the guest user
from 'nobody' to 'ftp'. but unless i give the 'net use' command a
username/passwd i can't use the printer. it's not horrible, just a
nuisance. i want to set up a logon script to make the printer
available and i don't want the username/password in that script.
here's what i have in the config file. any advice would be much
appreciated. thanks.
