smb printing

[Marcel Kunath]

More printing questions...


Trying to share this printer now with a Win98 box.


Win98 box has user 'nobody' with NOPASSWORD set up. User _can_ see shares. The
user actually sees 'printers' and 'smurf' separately. User can also install
both printers locally on the machine as network printers. (Would prefer it if
one share was vanishing. =)

/etc/smb.conf looks like this but jobs aren't being printed instead go to never
neverland.

'smbpasswd' gives odd error:

Help again appreciated,
