    Recently I tried using Samba to print from the WinXP box to a FreeBSD
    webserver which has been using Samba 2.2.12 successfully to share
    folders to WinXP.

    It works - sort of. Problem is Samba keeps applying user level security
    to printer access. I thought that I could change security to "share"
    in the [printers} definition but that does not seem to work. Probably a
    doddle to fix for you pros..!

    I was able to connect printer to FBSD box, and install it as a printer
    in WinXP, however if I shutdown WinXP then the next time I boot WinXP my
    printer is inaccessible until I "login" to my FBSD file shares using a
    user id. There are lots of settings which I have tried which are
    currently commented out as they did not seem to be effective. Help with
    this would be greatly appreciated as I do not want to have to "login" to
    my webserver every time I need to print from Windows.

    Here is my smb.conf: (sorry the [printers] is at bottom)
    #======================= Global Settings
    =====================================
    [global]

       path = /var/spool/lpd
    # print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s
       public = yes
       browseable = no
    # security = share
    # set client driver use to no
      use client driver = yes
    # Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
       guest ok = yes
    # guest account = nobody

       printable = yes
       printer = lp
