Topic: Network PDF Printer Problem

[farmerphil]

Hi,
I have recently, set up a sme server on a windows NT network, to act as a DNS, Proxy cache, time server, and would like to extend its capability to act as a network pdf printing system for the 50 or so users, this is what I have done so far

Installed Cups
Set up a network printer, and shared it on the NT server  for printer driver install ease for all users.
I have created a Ibay for all pdf files to be created to.

All of the above works very well, however I would like the Ibay to be available to all users without authentication, or for the sme server to relay user authentication requests to the primary domain controller on the network ?

I would really appreciate some help with this problem  please

Many thanks for the continue support of this great product.

You could skip the SME part and just download PDFCreator from sourceforge.net.  Install on each workstation and voila, instant PDFs.

Or you can mess around with the SME templates and allow anonymous, no password access to your ibays.  Off the top of my head, I think the ones to tinker with are:

11guestOK  (should be "yes")
11mapTOGuest  (should be "bad user")
10globals  (add "null passwords = yes")
