I have a headless Ubuntu 12.04 server for files and printers. It shares files via Samba just fine. However, the HP PSC-750xi connected
to the server via USB is not accessible from my Ubuntu 12.04 laptop. I can browse for it in the Printing control panel, but any attempt
to authenticate my ID
to the printer with my user credentials results in the error "This print share is not accessible".
I have included the Samba smb.conf file below. Any help appreciated.
Thanks...

#
# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
#
#
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order
to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which
# are not shown in this example
#
# Some options that are often worth tuning have been included as
# commented-out examples in this file.
# - When such options are commented with ";", the proposed setting
# differs from the default Samba behaviour
# - When commented with "#", the proposed setting is the default
# behaviour of Samba but the option is considered important
# enough
to be mentioned here
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
# "testparm"
to check that you have not made any basic syntactic
# errors.
# A well-established practice is
to name the original file
# "smb.conf.master" and create the "real" config file with
# testparm -s smb.conf.master >smb.conf
# This minimizes the size of the really used smb.conf file
# which, according
to the Samba Team, impacts performance
# However, use this with caution if your smb.conf file contains nested
# "include" statements. See Debian bug #483187 for a case
# where using a master file is not a good idea.

#### Debugging/Accounting ####
# This tells Samba
to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
# Cap the size of the individual log files (in KiB).
# If you want Samba
to only log through syslog then set the following
# parameter
to 'yes'.
# syslog only = no
# We want Samba
to log a minimum amount of information
to syslog. Everything
# should go
to /var/log/samba/log.{smbd,nmbd} instead. If you want
to log
# through syslog you should set the following parameter
to something higher.
# Do something sensible when Samba crashes: mail the admin a backtrace
####### Authentication #######
# "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account
# in this server for every user accessing the server. See
# /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-HOWTO/ServerType.html
# in the samba-doc package for details.
# security = user
# You may wish
to use password encryption. See the section on
# 'encrypt passwords' in the smb.conf(5) manpage before enabling.
# If you are using encrypted passwords, Samba will need
to know what
# password database type you are using.
# This boolean parameter controls whether Samba attempts
to sync the Unix
# password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the
# passdb is changed.
# For Unix password sync
to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following
# parameters must be set (thanks
to Ian Kahan <<
[email protected]> for
# sending the correct chat script for the passwd program in Debian Sarge).
# This boolean controls whether PAM will be used for password changes
# when requested by an SMB client instead of the program listed in
# 'passwd program'. The default is 'no'.
# This option controls how unsuccessful authentication attempts are mapped
#
to anonymous connections
