Printer problem with 5.1.2
« on: April 29, 2002, 03:32:24 AM »
On one of our servers I was running E-Smith 4.1.2. Among other things, this computer was being used as a printer server. I had modified the 50printers file in the template for smb.conf to allow for the guest user to access the printers as follows:-

# NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to
# specifically define each individual printer
[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = no
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
   public = yes
   guest ok = yes
   writable = no
   printable = yes

This worked beautifully. Last week I upgraded to SME 5.1.2 and now the guest user is no longer allowed for printers.

Does anybody have any idea why this is?
