I didn't use CUPS (Red Hat 8.0)
For the sake of this check list, consider:
The Windows NT printer is on Windows host "abc"
The printer is know as PRT92.
The network user id = user01
user01's password is "password01" (no quotes)
On the windows side, have your system administrator set up a user "user01"
with password "password01". This is not sent to the printer encrypted so
you don't want to send any user/password with much authority.
___ Install Samba (if needed)
___ Configure smb.conf
___ Locate the smb.conf file (/etc/samba/smb.conf on Red Hat 8.0)
___ locate smb.conf
(you may need to run "locate -u" first)
(several may show up)
___ Change into the directory with smb.cong
___ cd /etc/samba
___ Change the configuration file
(you may need to use something like emacs here)
(opening (and saving)it with OpenOffice may cause problems)
___ emacs smb.conf
___ Check the global section wor the following
[global]
workgroup = CGCNT (cgcnt is what we use
hosts allow = 10.aa.bb. (all of our servers are on 10.aa.bb.
(i.e. 10.aa.bb.29)
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
security = user (That is what we use)
password server = 10.aa.bb.cc (your NT server name (DNS) might
also work)
passerword llevel = 0
username level = 0
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = (lets hope the system defaults work here)
pam passwd change = yes
obey pam restrictions = yes
wins server = 10.aa.bb.cc
dns proxy = yes
[printers]
comment = whatever you want here
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = yes
___ save the changes (Ctrl-x then Ctrl-s)
___ Close emacs (Crtl-x then Ctrl-c)
___ Create a Linux account if needed (useradd -m accountname)
___ (from the command line) useradd -m ggambill
( -m sets up the /home/user directory if needed)
___ Add (or change) a Linux password for the new user
___ passwd ggambill
(provide the passwords)
___ Set up the Samba Password File
___ Create a smb password file (again, this if RH 8)
___ cat /etc/passwd | /usr/bin/mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/smbpasswd
(This is done from the command line)
___ Add an SMB Password (smbpasswd accountname)
___ smbpasswd ggambill
(This is done from the command line)
___ Set Up A Windows Shared Printer (RedHat 8 Bible pg 679)
___ Add a printer from a Terminal Session (Start (RedHat) | System Tools
| Terminal)
___ Enter "printconf-gui &"
___ Select "New"
___ "Forward"
___ Set "Queue Name" to "PRT02"
___ Select "Windows Printer SMB" and "Forward"
___ Sert "Share Name" to "\\abc\PRT92" (no quotes ("))
___ Set "User" to "user01" (no quotes)
___ Set "Passwrword" to "password01" (no quotes)
___ "Host IP" is left blank (we use DNS Lookup)
___ "Workgroup" is left blank (DNS Lookup)
___ "Translate" is left unchecked
___ Click "Forward"
___ Accept "Postscript Printer" (our printer is postscript)
___ Click "Forward"
___ Click "Apply"
___ Check the OpenOffice setup (Probably OK)
(may only need this if you don't want to use the default printer)
___ Start the GUI (startx) as your user
___ Start a Terminal Session
___ Start (RedHat) | System Tools | Terminal
___ Change to SU ("su") -
___ enter "su"
___ Enter <password>
___ Find the SpadMin Directory (ie: /usr/lib/openoffice/)
(we use Open Office)
____ "Locate spadmin"
(you may need to do a "locate -u" first to build the data
___ cd /usr/lib/openoffice/ (Red Hat 8.0 - YMMV)
___ run spadmin
___ Enter "./spadmin" (no quotes)
___ Select "New Printer
___ Select "Add a printer" then "Next"
___ Generic Printer might work. We have a Lexmark so I:
___ Scrolled down to "Lexmark Optra S 2455"
___ Then click "Next"
___ Select "lpr" for the command line
___ Click ""Next"
___ Enter a name for the printer (i.e. PRT92)
*This name seems to display in your printer list)
___ Set "Default Printer" check box as desired
___ Check "Use as default priniter" as desired
___ Click "Finish"
___ Check the printcap file (/etc/printcap)
(this is probably ok and should show the printers you set up)
___ emacs /etc/printcap
___ Close (without saving unless you needed to make changes)
___ Ctrl-x then Ctrl-c
___ Make sure cups is not running and smb is (from the GUI)
___ Start (RedHat) | Server Settings | Services
___ un-check cups-lpd
___ check smb
(There may be other services needed or not needed here)
(Hopefully someon on the list can add some insite here)
___ Restart such things as samba
(I reboot)
I haven't tried this checklist from scratch so there may be some missing
links.
This is more using methods rather than understanding principles) 8-(
Good Luck (luck has nothing to do with it)

Yeah, credentials work great for mounting dirs. Have you ever heard of them
being used by CUPS, though? That's the core issue I'm having.
