[TriLUG] HOWTO: Create PDFs using Samba but not CUPS

[Steve Hoffman]

Just had a thought...don't know if you've tried it or not.   Using my
smb.conf file restart samba...then on your windows XP machine...remove the
printer from that machine and reboot then re-add printer...I'm just thinking
about samba and windows only sending the username once a session...well as
far as windows is concerned it's already connected to the samba server and
passed authentication so why bother sending again...if you get your config's
right then basically force BOTH to re-establish connection, maybe then it
will send username and password...AND samba should then know that
connections from $machine use $username...more guesses, but something to
try.

This has somehow become my quest...anyone have shiny armour I can borrow
until we solve this?
