Title: network printer
Post by: pal on October 20, 2000, 09:35:29 AM

I have my printer connected to my server.  Every time I try to print from the network, I am propmted for a password.  I used the admin password and it doesn't work.  I used the user password and that doesn't work.  I can't find anywhere in the e-smith manager to issue a password for the printer.  Any suggs? Thanks

Just edit

/etc/e-smith/temlates/smb.conf/50printer

I am not sure about that path, but you will find there samba printer config
and chage there quest=yes

That might allow access to the printer, but it doesn't explain why access isn't already permitted. If the user is logged on with a valid username and password, then they should be able to access the printer without an additional password prompt.

You might find some explanation in the samba log files in /var/log/samba. Be warned, the log files are rather cryptic.
