Samba/iX Conﬁguration File Options

samp-printcap ﬁle:

LP|6|HP3000 System LP

Here is a sample example for the conﬁguration option that you may

conﬁgure with

[global] and [printers] sections in the Samba/iX

conﬁguration ﬁle — smb-conf:

[global]

# You need supply IP address and subnet mask of your 3000 with the interface

parameter

interface = ip address/subnet mask

# printcap file lists printer names for use by [printer] section

printcap name = /usr/local/samba/lib/printcap

# shares may be configured to accept connections without a validated user id

and password, and then it assumes the guest logon for accessing the printers.

guest account = mgr.samba

[printers]

# enable this service for printing but not for file access

print ok = yes

write ok = no

# current version of Samba/iX only allows guest users for printer sharing

guest ok = yes

guest only = yes

# the “staging” directory for print requests

path = /user/local/samba/spool

# The rawlp utility sends file contents to spooler like “lp -oraw”

print command = /usr/local/samba/lib/rawlp %s %p; rm %s

NOTE For the current version of Samba/iX, the printer sharing only works for

guest users.

The current conﬁguration option for printer sharing needs to set

“guest ok” and “guest only”.

Add a printer, as shown in Figure 7-6. With printer sharing, the

printers are accessible to HP 3000.
