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.

# We want Samba to log a minimum amount of information to syslog. Everything

the following parameter to something higher.

####### 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
