Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 ADS domain. If a Windows client is a

domain member of the ADS domain, that client can search for the printer

Setting up HP CIFS Server for Publishing Printers Support

Use the following procedures to set up an HP CIFS Server for publishing

printers support:

Step 1. Create the printer shares for each printer and a [printers] share in the

smb.conf ﬁle. The following is an example of a [printers] share:

[printers]

path = /tmp

printable = yes

browseable = yes

See the following example for settng up a speciﬁc printer share, where

lj1005 is the name of the printer:

[lj1005]

path = /tmp

printable = yes

Step 2. Create a [print$] share in the smb.conf ﬁle and set the path parameter

to a directory named /etc/opt/samba/printers. See the following

example:

[print$]

path = /etc/opt/samba/printers

use client driver = no

browseable = yes

guest ok = yes

read only = yes

write list = netadmin
