[NMLUG] samba printing to XP printer

[Tim Emerick]

Yeah, I enabled the guest account but couldn't find a security area on the printer sharing tab.  and I think you put it succinctly when you said "winsucks"  ;-)
 
The thing I don't like about the guest account is having the ability to let the kids actually log on to the guest account and muck around.

the Guest acount has to be enabled on the winsucks machine. And then you have to
set the Security settings on the printer to Everyone has Full Control.

I think.
