I am trying to get my windows machine to print to my samba server. I
would like to
have it so that each user does not have to have an account. I't just
at my house
so it really is not that bad, but would prefer not to. I have a
directory shared out
which works well with out needing an account. But when I try to look at the
printer from a Win2k machine it says access denied unable to connect.
Here is my smb.conf file:

# Global parameters
[global]
protocol = NT1
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
ldap ssl = no
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
domain master = yes
map to guest = Bad User
wins support = true
dns proxy = no
server string = Samba Server %v
workgroup = NOBLE
os level = 20
printcap name = cups
security = user
max log size = 50
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
printer admin = root

[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
read only = yes
write list = root

[shares]
guest ok = yes
force user = mgnoble
force group = mgnoble
comment = Shared files
writable = yes
path = /home/shares

I have looked at the samba logs and there is nothing listed.

path = /var/spool/samba
public = yes
#guest ok = yes
# busby is my unix username, and it's in the user map too
# Group names could be @group
