Hi, I have a question about Samba. I have a LAN at home with two Win2ks and one linux connecting to internet through a route and Cable modem. Original I played with Redhat 7.1. The samba worked fine. I decided to give Suse a try. I purchased Suse 7.1 Pro a few days ago. The installation was straightforward. I set up my HP Laserjet IIp on the Suse. I can print the test page. Then I tried to configure the samba as I did on Redhat 7.1, below is the smb.conf file: ; ; /etc/smb.conf ; ; Copyright (c) 1999 SuSE GmbH Nuernberg, Germany. ; [global] workgroup = workgroup guest account = nobody keep alive = 30 os level = 2 kernel oplocks = false security = user ; Uncomment the following, if you want to use an existing ; NT-Server to authenticate users, but don't forget that ; you also have to create them locally!!! ; security = server ; password server = 192.168.1.10 encrypt passwords = yes printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j socket options = TCP_NODELAY map to guest = Bad User ; Uncomment this, if you want to integrate your server ; into an existing net e.g. with NT-WS to prevent nettraffic ; local master = no ; Please uncomment the following entry and replace the ; ip number and netmask with the correct numbers for ; your ethernet interface. ; interfaces = 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 ; If you want Samba to act as a wins server, please set ; 'wins support = yes' wins support = no ; If you want Samba to use an existing wins server, ; please uncomment the following line and replace ; the dummy with the wins server's ip number. ; wins server = 192.168.1.1 ; Do you wan't samba to act as a logon-server for ; your windows 95/98 clients, so uncomment the ; following: ; logon script =%U.bat ; domain logons = yes ; domain master = yes ; [netlogon] ; path = /netlogon [homes] comment = home-directory browseable = yes read only = no create mode = 644 guest ok = no writable = yes ; The following share gives all users access to the Server's CD drive, ; assuming it is mounted under /cd. To enable this share, please remove ; the semicolons before the lines ; ; [cdrom] ; comment = Linux CD-ROM ; path = /cdrom ; read only = yes ; locking = no [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = no printable = yes public = no read only = yes create mode = 0700 directory = /tmp writable = no path = /var/spool/lpd/samba [download] comment = Back Up path = /home/download writable = yes guest ok = yes The directory sharing works fine. In fact, I can view both directory and printers sharing on my win2k side. The difference with on Redhat is that I find three printer sharing info: hp2p, hp2p-ascii, hp2p-raw (hp2p is my printer's name). Then I tried to 'Add printer' on win2k. I tried to map //linux/hp2p-raw. then the window told me something like 'no suitable driver found' instead of asking to choose printer's brand name and model which happened in Redhat 7.1. Then the windows pops up a window and ask me to find out the *.INF file. I don't know what that means, then I put into my win2k CD and browser to /Printers/NT/I386/, I tried several files which I think they are maybe HP printer driver, but none of them works. I am confused now and don't know what I should do. I tried to map on hp2p and hp2p-ascii, but neither works. I thought I am kind of familiar with Samba, because it is so easy on Redhat. But on Suse, it looks like that it isn't. Any hints? Your help will be great appreciated. Thanks Yong
