Chapter 25 . Running a Print Server 647 3. When prompted, fill in the username and password needed to access the SMB printer. (You may also fill in the Workgroup information, if required.) Click OK to continue. Alternatively, you could identify a server that does not appear on the list of servers. Click the Specify button and enter the following information in the appropriate fields: . Workgroup The workgroup name assigned to the SMB server. Filling in the workgroup name isn t necessary in all cases. . Server NetBIOS name or IP address for the computer, which may or may not be the same as its TCP/IP name. To translate this name into the address needed to reach the SMB host, Samba checks several places where the name may be assigned to an IP address. Samba checks the following (in the order shown) until it finds a match: the local /etc/hosts file, the local /etc/lmhosts file, a WINS server on the network, and responses to broadcasts on each local network interface to resolve the name. . Share Name under which the printer is shared with the remote computer. It may be different from the name by which local users of the SMB printer know the printer. . User Username is required by the SMB server system to give you access to the SMB printer. A username is not necessary if you are authenticating the printer based on share-level rather than user-level access control. With sharelevel access, you can add a password for each shared printer or file system. . Password Password associated with the SMB username or the shared resource, depending on the kind of access control being used. When you enter a User and Password for SMB, that information is stored unencrypted in the /etc/cups/printers.conf file. Be sure that the file remains readable only by root. Complete the rest of the procedure as you would for a local printer (see the Adding a Local Printer in Red Hat section earlier in this chapter). The result is new entries in the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and printers.conf files. This /etc/cups/printers.conf entry shows the printer entry just created: Info Created by redhat-config-Eprinter 0.6.x DeviceURI smb://jjones:my9passswd@FSTREET/NS1/hp Location HP on ns1 State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 Caution
