Re: [Samba] Windows 98 connection problems on MacOSX

I found that if I set

security = share

I can actually access the printer (which was my original goal).  But,
oddly, instead of getting a printer, it just browses /tmp, as if it were a
shared directory.

So, when I do

$ smbclient "//MINI/HP LaserJet 5L" -U robertsmb

and I type "dir", it just shows the contents of /tmp .

I included my printer entry below.

Incidentally, the printer works fine on the Mac itself.

Does anyone know why it accesses my printer as if it were a share rather
than a real printer?
